I don’t think Lukaku is so weak minded to crumble into the foetal position because some guy he plays football with isn’t feeling well.

Spike 5,103 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 So the Russia didn’t take the knee, why do Euros even do it anyway? what is even the statement they are making? I understand why Americans started it, because they are protesting injustices and in a way the negative aspects of Americna culture and history, and as of right now teams haven’t done it in a while. And hell, I fully support their protests Seems like a weird importation and imitation of Americanisms to me, and you’ve made it a bigger deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas 3,827 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Belgium will coast this group. Got a right bit of luck with this draw. I know Denmark had a lot on their plate today but even before Eriksen's collapse, they were a bit average. Russia are shite. Finland got a bit of a smash and grab. They are shite. Belgium could rest KDB and Hazard through to the 2nd round if they wished, its that weak a group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those dudes carry water for american cultural imperialism and don't even realize it. Russia is a country with a completely different historical path and society composition than that of the United States, it's unfair to judge an entire society based solely on this episode. The population of african descent in Russia is very small. Sure, there is racism in Russia but it's directed mostly against Central Asia immigrants. They also completely ignore the fact that Soviet Union has supported many decolonization movements in Africa. Not to mention the fact that Russia was playing Belgium, a country that is still ruled by relatives of freaking Leopold II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lampard played when his mother died, Jon Mikel played when his dad was kidnapped by criminals I don't think anyone would have thought less of him if Eriksen's condition was worse. They are obviously close on Inter. Good for Lampard, but everyone is different and seeing such a horrific accident (which at the time looked A LOT worse), doesn't make anyone 'weak' minded if they don't think they can play at the level needed. The fact that you think it's 'weak' minded is pretty pathetic really. You don't know them so why judge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never called you pathetic, but your view on the situation rather pathetic. I read your point and that you stated...'Lukaku is so weak minded to crumble into the foetal position because some guy he plays football with isn’t feeling well." which I do think is a pretty pathetic way to think about. Someone struggling with a tragedy and taking some time away from their job doesn't make them weak minded. I would assume with all the conversation regarding mental health and taking care of yourself would have eliminated such views as these, so I can only hope they were made in jest, or you are just reacting to the aftermath in which Eriksen is in stable condition and not feared dead like when this post was written.

Is it? Because you don't seem to even understand what I said, you just got angry and judgemental. I posted this when Eriksen was already responsive so it was more akin to 'why would he not play? His friend is alive' PS Good for Lampard? Weird thing to say, his mother died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
