It stops being fun once politicians get involved although the row has seemed kind of performative anyway. Like people saw the reaction to Iceland’s chant and decided to make this a thing.
Also for performative nonsense see Japanese fans cleaning up the stadium before leaving. There were reports in Japan that the very men doing this were being called out by their own wives because they don’t clean up a single thing in their own homes
There is also footage of Jude covering his mouth when talking to one of the Ghanian players that went unpunished. I know the rule says you are allowed to do it as long as you arent being confrontational, but isn’t the point of covering your mouth that no one knows what you’re saying? Is the only difference between Jude and Almiron that the Aussie player complained to the ref? They have turned it into another situation like “headbuts” where the determinative factor for whether it is is a red card is only whether the receiving player play acts
Hard to have any sympathy for a coach who gave the captain’s armband to a rapist.
So, Carlos Quieros, speaking as someone who has lived in Ghana and considers them his African team AND has no love for the England NT… fuck off and get some morality before complaining about fouls in a game.
It’s awful. I get the idea of foreigners being entertained by the experience, but only in the way that you might be entertained by going to a zoo or a safari.
Key thing there is you are under an obligation to disclose any charges you are facing. Partey made a declaration to CBSA that he was not facing any charges.
