GWT: World Cup Final - Argentina v. France

[GKJ]

Imagine blaming Mbappe for anything

@Duchene2MacKinnon this you?

Kinda not really worth it if you're not going to capture the delightfully demented look on his face.

Well done video even though its the BBC

The BBC commentary was excellent and that was Guy Mowbray and Zabaleta was in the studio getting rather emotional understandably.

Mowbray is the best commentator with the BBC along with Steve Wilson. He also referenced Alejandro Sabella looking from down above and his untimely passing just over two years ago.

It's a superb montage. One I'll be playing many times over and over. Emotional stuff.

It's totally fallen by the wayside and not come up here, but Coman and Tchouameni have been getting racist abuse online for the penalty shootout.

There has also been abuse of Lloris from the other divide in France with him being called a white piece of shit and dirty white. Intimating he deliberately sabotaged the team.

Thanks bro. Honestly it was hard picking one. I wanted to get all of the players in or at least Kun carrying Messi in that pic. But just fell in love with this one. SUch a great photo that will live for generations

It will become the photo that transcends this era of football

I'm not sure what you mean, but my country (America) has an appalling history of racial injustice that still continues to this day, and it's often driven by people with no recent connections to Europe at all.

Some people express racism in an overt way, some in a subtle way. Both are bad. I've lived in cities where non-Hispanic whites are the extreme minority and racism against blacks and other Latin ethnicities was overwhelming in parts.

Europe has a lot of work to do, and so does...well, the entire world. If you look at the racial history of East Asia you might be surprised.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

it's also worth bringing in that Argentina is one of the whitest countries in the world due to a very particular history of racist immigration policy and indigenous ethnic cleansing

 

[Savi]

salt bae is a very tiny man (and not a short king)

how the hell did that dude even get on the field?

Him trying to get a pic with Messi is right up there with Infantino not letting go of Messi and the trophy for the cringiest moments of the final

Lol he probably threw some gold flakes at Infantino. Problem solved!

that's on Whiteness and who gets to be in the tent. that shit is everchanging

Not sure I understand, sorry.

Racism is okay as long as you don't use calipers. Deep insight from sansabri

 

[sansabri]

Not sure I understand, sorry.

The US started as a European settler colony but has since evolved into something else (in the last 60 years) is what i'm saying and a good chunk of it is due to class interests. Europe is a whole diff mess

Thanks for clarifying.

So what was the point of Martinez doing this?

So what was the point of Martinez doing this?

He's a straight up dumbass that's why. Like I said after some of the games here, most of the players are really overgrown manchildren. Only 1 out of every 4 or so seem to have the maturity that you think they should have. If the roles were reversed Grizz would probably grab his balls just the same. I don't get it tbh.

I mean it’s not like he did black face. He’s drunk out of his mind. Having fun, y’all must be great at parties offended over eveything lol

Martinez is straight out of some coming of age movie like american pie lol

The Argentinian Stifler?

Anyone got any pics of his mom?

Might have to adjust that percentage for this Argentinian team.

But at least he didn’t do black face.

A couple of things I forgot to mention from yesterday:

—Initially everyone was celebrating and on the ground and/or crying, etc. Very quickly though Messi was walking around the pitch and waving to the Argentina supporters with a massive smile on his face. I didn’t see him the entire time, but I didn’t see him crying once. Anyway, I just thought it was cool that while his teammates were still celebrating he was appreciating the supporters.
—Somebody else mentioned it somewhere today, and my apologies for not remembering who or being arsed to find it, but the whole business of Messi getting the trophy and then getting to his teammates was ridiculous from Infantino not giving him the trophy to having to wear whatever was put on him.

He shed a few tears when he leaft the center pitch area going towards those suporters, but it didn't last long.

I’m not offended. It was classless and completely unnecessary.

Pretty safe bet that he came up with the idea before being inebriated.
