This is crazy.

Yep…depending on how their development goes, you could see Spain with 3-4 players of African descent starting for Spain at the next world cup.

Nico, Yamal, Samu and Balde. Front three could be all black….

Wonder how they’ll feel then :jbhmm:

But Lukaku said it best.

When he scores, he’s Belgian. When he messes up, he’s Congolese-Belgian. Nasty work man

It's a common theme across the sport. Remember the shyt Saka/Rashford got after the Euros in 2021

Barcelona will not have any supporters at their next away match in the Champions League after UEFA charged their fans with racist behaviour.

Barca have been fined €10,000 (£8,332) and prevented from selling tickets to their supporters for their away game against Red Star Belgrade on November 6. It has come into effect because the Spanish giants had already been handed a suspended ban for the racist behaviour of their fans during a Champions League quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain in April.

Back then, they were charged with racist behaviour, causing damage and letting off fireworks inside the Parc des Princes, prompting €32,000 of fines and a suspended ban on selling away tickets.

UEFA has also given Barca another one-year suspended ban, which will be triggered in the event of any further breaches in the next 12 months. The punishment is understood to relate to a black banner reading "Flick heil" which was displayed in the away end during Barcelona ’s 2-1 defeat by Monaco last week.

The banner was held up before kick-off in France and is in reference to Barca’s German manager Hansi Flick. However, it is also deeply offensive due as "Sieg Heil" was a common greeting used by the Nazis.

The offensive message managed to get past security and into the away end at the Stade Louis II but was swiftly removed after being spotted and reported to UEFA. Remarkably, in Spain, it is not a criminal offence to display Nazi symbols or allusions to such symbols in public, but the message did catch the attention of UEFA’s Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body (CEDB).

Pep Guardiola is furious with Mikel Arteta over comments the Arsenal manager made in the wake of last Sunday’s spiky draw at Manchester City and feels let down by his former assistant.

Those views are understood to be widely shared at City, where Arteta coached from 2016-19. Arteta said on Tuesday he had “all the information” about his former club, prompting Guardiola to respond on Friday that his fellow Spaniard should leave the “clouds” and come clean about what he meant.
Although Guardiola chose his words carefully at his press conference, he is privately fuming at the remarks from someone he long considered a friend. He expected more from Arteta, feeling he mentored him at City and went above and beyond in urging the club to let him take the Arsenal job even though the approach came partway through a season and from a direct rival.

Arteta spoke of his love, respect and admiration for Guardiola and said their relationship had not been affected but it is clear that view is not shared by his former boss. The comments from Arteta that prompted the fracture came in response to a question about City players’ complaints regarding Arsenal’s “dark arts” tactics. “I have been there before, I was there for four years,” he said. “I have all the information. So I know. Believe me.”


The remarks were put to Guardiola, who was asked whether he regarded it as a betrayal. “Next time, Mikel has to be more clear,” he said. “He has to be more clear exactly: what does it mean? He said he was here for four years and: ‘We know exactly what happened here.’ Because it can be related in all the process now with 155 [130] charges; maybe it’s about that. He knows information about that maybe … I don’t know, because really, next time, I have to see more clearly exactly what happened.”

look at him bending over for a spanish club to come and get him and i'm supposed to care when they get abused by those racist spanish scum. they're desperate to go and play there.

Or maybe he just wants to learn Spanish so he can go crazy in Colombia :mjgrin:
