The most surreal experience of my life.
It's crazy that I caught it in camera.

Per FIFA's own rules about political statements in the tournament, why haven't Argentina been sanctioned for repeated singing of songs that could only be described as inflammatory?
I'm not getting into the geopolitics of any land mass anywhere, it's ownership or claims. But DR Congo had to literally change their shirt design because it celebrated independence, so pro players in a dressing room, ahead of what will already be a politically charged environment ( England expects post deleted because of how it could be interpreted, which wasn't my intention) being allowed repeatedly to sing politically motivated songs?
If Republic of Ireland players sang rebel songs v Northern Ireland or vice versa in Dublin, FIFA would step in. Likewise issues with balkan nations in recent years.
So what's different here?
I have lots of Argentine followers so please go not see this as a "English v Argentina" attack, but merely we mostly all agree no politics in football is a good thing? So why no sanction or even warning?
Daily Mail have already gone big on it, the world's largest English language newspaper now, so that video in the dressing room with stoke tension. Unnecessarily so.
If we're serious about no politics in the sporting arena, then it must apply to all.
Sensible, sane feedback welcome.
So let me get this right:
We've had Hand of God, Beckham red, Campbell disallowed goal, Lampard in Bloemfontein, Koeman in 94 qualifiers...
... and now you want us to feel bad because a hoof that landed in our half MIGHT have grazed a cable on it's way?
Don't think so 😂😂😂
In a game full of ego, Olise chose to stand by the people who stand by him ❤️
About a month ago, Olise deleted all his photos on Instagram. People thought he was putting pressure on Bayern Munich’s management after the media started talking about Real Madrid’s interest. But the story turned out to be something else entirely.
Olise has a private photographer named Florence Pernet who attends all his matches with him and takes special photos that are different from what the other journalists shoot. He always posts only her photos on his Instagram. The thing is, during the World Cup, the U.S. authorities refused her entry.
As a result, Olise decided to delete everything. In support of her, he chose not to post anything on his account except the photos she takes from the TV screen. If you open his account now, you’ll see that all the photos look like they were taken from a screen — not live shots.
She’s sitting at home, respected and well taken care of, watching him on the television and photographing the screen. And the player, in turn, completely ignores all the high-quality 4K photos and fancy professional shots that are taken for him — he only posts hers.
Honestly, after this whole situation, my respect and admiration for Olise has grown even more. Bless his parents for raising such a decent, grounded guy who never forgets anyone who works with him and always has their back ❤️
Watching him calmly, delicately help himself to his knees and give thanks with his head down while fighting the sudden ocean of tears overwhelming him is one of the saddest images I've seen on a football pitch. A knife to my side would've hurt less than seeing it
