one of egypt's better players getting a concussion in training because he attempted a BACK FLIP is fucking crazy why did no one stop him 😭

not that i mind because the weaker egypt the better for morocco eventually if we even make it that far

Afcon is so toxic. I have at least 5 countries that I’m actively praying on their downfall😭

The most disgusting, disgraceful bullshit. As if we didn’t all watch Mo in 4k be so elated to see his team go through yesterday, and be heartbroken when he got injured. and having it be one of your own compatriots accusing you of conspiracy level shit. horrifying, I can’t even imagine how Mo feels

I'm in tears 😭 So basically Morocco won and that allowed Ivory Coast to also qualify for round of 16, as their qualification was bound to Morocco winning...and since Hakim scored the winning goal DJ Leo made this song I'm genuinely 😭 this is a bop shshshshsh

"Hakim zizizi merci beaucoup" 😂 🇨🇮🇲🇦

Imagine if they win the whole thing now 😂

gabriel pulling out of the brazil squad, kdb pulling out of Belgium’s, last year with Haaland and Rodri. genuinely pisses me off that fans just accept teams blatantly pulling players from internationals because ‘it’s just friendlies.’

yeah, friendlies that fans pay significant amounts of money to go to. friendlies that people across the world wake up early/stay up late to watch their favorite teams play. because that’s what football is about- the fans, and the game. football is a sport. it should not become a business.

people saying it’s ‘smart’ to pull players from national team squads with fake injuries are stupid. you don’t need to be smart as a coach to do that, you just need to be an entitled cunt.

international football is being destroyed by greedy clubs and the growing idea that ‘oh it’s not as important.’

a quick reminder that international football has stopped wars. it has brought fractured countries together. it has provided people, real, human people, a sense of unity that even the most experienced of politicians could not.

not to target all English people, but that is easily where I see this idea circulating the most. English fans don’t want their clubs to send players out to internationals— unless they’re english players, and then it’s fine— because they’ve still got that inherent sense of superiority that is so heavily engrained in English identity.

“uhh why would we send players to afcon? club is more important!”

you wouldn’t say that about the Euros if they happened mid-season.

you didn’t say it about the world cup when it happened mid-season.

international football is a uniting force. it unites nations and ethnic groups and fractured communities. but people would rather pull their best players to ‘prevent injury’ than recognize just how important these institutions and teams are to people.
