Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - RIP Diogo Jota

Cavani, the only player to score a brace and then an own goal after the final whistle.

If that's how they talk among each other in his country then it is what it is... when I read the headline I thought he had called a black person a monkey or some shyt. This ain't really worth whatever they're trying to hit him with.

Edit: shyt didn't Toni Kroos get caught reading a whole Mein Kampf or something like that, Italian players stay giving shout outs to Mussolini, go after them.

 

[Ukbrotha]

Breh thats the guy he called negrito. I don't know about you but that doesn't look like a black man to me.

 

[Roberto Firmino]

I mean we can get in to the nitty gritty of whether the term is wrong all day.

But the contexts are massively different. Cavani was genuinely just thanking a friend for his congratulations.

Suarez took the term and made it overtly racist by repeating it in an insulting way then saying he doesn’t talk to those types.

Cavani had immediately apologised for any UNINTENDED offence. Suarez refused to even acknowledge he may have done something wrong when he intended to offend.

Would be disgusting if he got banned tbh.

First things first, clearly nothing racist about it he shouldn’t get banned but he will because optics and it will be longer than Silva’s which is farcical



However I ain’t tryna hear shyt about context from you lot at all because 9 years ago it didn’t matter one bit

which is farcical

Let’s not do this. Saying “I don’t speak to blacks” isn’t good in any context. The two aren’t comparable at all.

'I dont speak to blacks' aint context enough? That aint comparable to cavani

Cavani will probably get a fine and a ban, it is what it is.

3 Games is excessive though, seeing that Bernardo Silva was making a ignorant joke on video and including that tweet which he only got a fine and banned for one match.

Probably as a message to players abroad to not do that shyt.

 

[Roberto Firmino]

Let’s not do this. Saying “I don’t speak to blacks” isn’t good in any context. The two aren’t comparable at all.

Yes let’s not do this because I’ve already said it wasn’t racist and he shouldn’t be banned I’m talking about the use of the word negrito


9 years ago it didn’t matter what it meant back home so I’m not gonna hear that as a defence this time.

 

[Roberto Firmino]

'I dont speak to blacks' aint context enough? That aint comparable to cavani

If that’s what was said, I don’t buy it myself personally because the handshake incident said a lot but each to their own


Both used the word negrito that’s the issue, that’s what I’m speaking on.

 

[TobiOT]

Maybe they think he can play again and it's not a Ryan Mason situation?

I think he'll be out for the rest of the season, in my opinion.

Unless he does a Petr Cech and wears the helmet.

 

[SCORCH]

Magic? By winning a corner?

This club is finito

[Montez]

It's already International break?
