@11synergy "Why did you shoot? You should’ve passed the ball" and "Oh please, let me breathe, stop yelling all the time" are probably the most uttered sentences on a football pitch since time immemorial by players, staff members & fans. Hardly any novelty or controversy here.

Apart from the obvious lies we instantly recognize as false from common knowledge, it’s even more surreal to see blatant lies spread abt events you witnessed firsthand or topics you know deeply, and then seeing thousands of people believing them & rallying in full agreement...

50% of my feed is now fake news, rewritten historical facts and propaganda...

I have seen all your posts about Jose de la Fuente. Do you sincerely feel De La Fuente should not give instructions? You genuinely think because he is mostly known as goalkeeping coach, the tab he holds every game is for nothing? First I don’t believe the report but you can’t start taking sides with Lamine Yamal. Jose De La Fuente didn’t just appear on that bench. He’s been there for over 10 years & he has the wealth of experience to call a shot. If he shouldn’t give any instruction, then there’s only one person to fix that — Hansi Flick.

@kevvwill 😂😂😂 Do ppl fall for such obviously populist and nonsensical move?

Take a bow, America, for once again proving how monstrously ignorant -- leaving aside bigotry -- you are. Seriously, take a bow and be proud. It's like ignorance and bigotry are an Olympic sport and everybody chants "USA!" as they go for the gold.

@jdeposicion I understand. The initial & key hurdle is the financial investment : most clubs wouldn't want to pay. And the legal aspect : I'm no expert but think it'd set a precedent, if you can do targeted audio-monitoring in public spaces like stadiums, why not in public parks and malls?

@CaptnGuardiola Right, but I wonder if specific clauses wouldn't allow to escape that - after all, most EU countries allow for 'the greater good' to ignore some laws. (It's not called that, but you get the idea).

It's about time RFEF start banning racists. It's always been a problem, but it feels like it's getting much worse lately.

@jdeposicion In some instances, football stadiums are treated like 'public spaces'

@CaptnGuardiola I don't think it's an issue w/ GDPR

@laligaandbeyond Great thread. Clubs from my childhood that I miss seeing in laliga are Zaragoza, Deportivo La Coruña, Hercules & Tenerife.

If you enjoy reading about clubs like this I write and talk about them regularly on here and on my Substack where I cover Spanish football If you enjoyed this please give it a share, a follow and subscribe to my Substack open.substack.com/pub/jordthomas…

While Segunda is full of former LaLiga sides over the years we've had a number of clubs who have fallen even further. Here's a thread of 10 former LaLiga clubs outside the top two divisions and how far some of these giants have fallen 🧵👇

@Alvaro_Romeo Hasta antes, se veía que no le seguía los movimientos a Lamine, yo le dije a mis amigos 'ese no termina el partido'. Nunca antes lo había visto jugar de lateral. Ya había jugado ahí otras veces ?

Hay que terminar con el tabú de no hacer cambios en la primera parte, ya sea para no enfadar al jugador o reconocer un mal planteamiento. En la era de los 5 cambios esa máxima tiene que pasar a mejor vida. Hoy Nico González, tras la primera amarilla, tenía que haber salido.

@Pyroboi10 Yes, good performance on the ball

@CaptnGuardiola Yeah but he played awesome today. He was actual real danger on the wing. He just needs to combine more with the mids and he’s gonna fly I can feel it

Rashford's behavior after losing the ball is shameful. Walking, jogging, watching. Zero intensity or desire to sprint & counter-press. The contrast with Raphinha's behavior in these situations is striking. #AtletiBarça

Good 2nd half performance, made easier by playing vs 10, we moved the ball faster & were consistently able to find the free man. A key win considering the opponent's level, how crucial this game was to solidify #1 spot in laliga & the demanding calendar. Visca Barça! 🔴 🔵

2 great off-ball runs that caused Nico González 2 bookings 👏🏾 x.com/i/status/20357…

@Ellis_ Solid arguments & respectful interaction, not childish at all

Shut your mouth.

Or maybe it was Muriqi 😄

Ekitike was the guy, wasn't he ? 😞

@ViejaEuropa1 6 años, le dimos bastante tiempo para demostrar su talento.
