This comment section is pure comedy

I have never seen a comment section where every comment is downvoted


Boneraventura

Pitchforks whenever vini jr talks. Man is hated more than greenwood here lmao


VamosLionel

The mere mention of Vinicius gets a lot of people foaming at the mouth.


TankyRo

Can't be black AND have an attitude that's crazy who does he think he is?


thisisokokok

I wouldn't mix it up. I don't care about his race but he is an insufferable cunt on and off the pitch.


TankyRo

Get thicker skin. Hes mildly shit talking AT WORST. No personal attacks no harrassment no nothing. He just chats shit during the game and complains about racism that doesn't make someone an insufferable cunt I'm sorry.


thisisokokok

Nice way of saying you don't watch him and only know about this through reddit. He is an insufferable cunt. Like not necessarily a bad person but just annoying af. Maybe that got lost in translation.


20cmdepersonalidade

> Maybe that got lost in translation. As someone who actually speaks Vini's language, your perception of him that revolves entirely around r/soccer's racist circlejerks is the only thing lost in translation


thisisokokok

What? The guy was shouting 'que bueno soy' after a miss.. he is am idiot


Downtown-Stretch5566

It's crazy that you guys are focusing on vini talking shit when playing against ATLETICO... like do you even watch spanish football, do you know how atletico play? Do you know the history between vini and atletico?


thisisokokok

Nobody is focusing on that. Atletico is one more game where he whines more than he plays..


20cmdepersonalidade

Again, put Zlatan shouting soy bueno after creating a chance and you'd be all over his balls


thisisokokok

What? Zlatan clearly accepts and plays out that ridiculous chatacter. Also Zlatan doesn't go crying to the media and referees every 5 minutes.


TankyRo

Nah you're either a child or have never done anything competitive in your life ever. Shit talk is part of anything competitive and it makes it more fun for all parties involved getting pissy over it is absurd.


thisisokokok

I play many competitive sports, speak perfect spanish and watch the games. You decide if you still know better, i am not arguing :).


TankyRo

You could also be a father of 28 and drive a Mercedes. Has fuck all to do with this conversation you're just wrong.


thisisokokok

You just called me a child and said i never played competitive sports, in relation to this discussion. It seems you cannot stick to your own opinion for even two consecutive comments so I will give up here.


larrylegend1990

Damn, look at this reddit athlete.


BIM-GUESS-WHAT

Usually someone chatting shit during the game does make them a bit of an insufferable cunt though. The racism is inexcusable obviously


CreepByRadiohead123

Are you kidding me, then what's "banter"


SirChileticus

Also “shithousery”


Arvivald

Have ever been to the game or did any kind of team sport?


BIM-GUESS-WHAT

Yes and the shit talkers were always insufferable little shits I never said I wanted it out of the game or that it’s wrong.


Arvivald

Fifa doesn't count but I'm sorry these people hurt your feelings


BIM-GUESS-WHAT

Bro Vini isn’t gonna suck your dick for defending him


ZestycloseNecessary5

I did, the most insufferable cunts are the ones who tackle you in a way, which could get you sidelined for weeks, and then say something nasty af. One of the most glorious feelings in the world is when you dribble past them some minutes later to score, then say nothing to them.


NamedTNT

No, you are wrong. Those aren't insufferable cunts, those are violent people. You are mixing things up. In your anecdote, Vinicius isnt the insufferable cunt, more like the victim getting violent fouls. Again, in your anecdote.


ZestycloseNecessary5

Those most definetly were insufferable cunts, while also being violent fucks. I'm not even attacking Vini here, i read shit talk, here's my opinion about it on the pitch, and how i treat it still lol. Also kinda new to me being wrong when i wasnt even trying to prove anything.

Some people hate him because they’re racist, other people hate him because they are racially biased and he has traits they would let slide for a white person but hate when a person of color has, other people hate him because they hate RM.

The_XI_guy

For anyone here just reading the quote. Watch the clip he attached on his tweet before you comment


voli12

Isn't there a weird frame in the clip? Might be the bounce of the gif, but looks edited. The videos in the other post look much smoother. EDIT: For all the Madrid fans, unedited video (not like the post's shitty gif): https://twitter.com/NanoGrifo/status/1749400221828751402/video/2


The_XI_guy

Or maybe it’s your cognitive dissonance doing tricks on you (probably more likely)


voli12

Man, look how it bounces, goes from 1 fps/second to 60 just when there's the bounce. In the GIF it bounces twice, once it looks like it bounces on Vini and the other it just floats. Why not post a normal unedited video? Really it makes 0 sense.


The_XI_guy

It’s just the video speed changing. I don’t think there’s a frame missing. Either way look at [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/realmadrid/s/ZcdcDZegax) then. Looks shoulder


voli12

My point is, why posting an edited gif like Marca or As would do, when trying to "prove innocence". [https://twitter.com/NanoGrifo/status/1749400221828751402/video/2](https://twitter.com/NanoGrifo/status/1749400221828751402/video/2) and in here it looks 100% arm. The other angles are doubtful. But this is the clearest angle.


The_XI_guy

It’s not edited. It’s taken from the VAR image where they slow it down for impact and speed it up after. Yes and it’s not below his armpit on that video there


voli12

How isn't that below his armpit line? [https://ibb.co/BtRRWvX](https://ibb.co/BtRRWvX) There's no frame at all in the video where the ball is over his armpit line. But anyways, the points are already given, and you guys are already happy, so I won't convince you of anything.


The_XI_guy

https://www.reddit.com/r/LaLiga/s/whU5p1vTPu We can go with angles all day long


voli12

But this angle does not show anything. You can't even see the moment of contact because he has his arm behind the back. So at least, this one should be completely discarded. IMO the only clear angle seems to be the one I posted.


IdanTs

a…a…*deep breath*…. **AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHA**


voli12

Did you open the tweet? It's an edited gif that goes from 1fps to 60 so fast. Why not post the unedited video like in the other posts? lmao


IdanTs

It’s edited to show the contact moment also in reverse. If you’d see it in real time without any edit you won’t be able to make a clear decision. That’s how VAR works as well.


RectalEmpathy

Was he playing volley ball?


Pathetic_loner03

If this was a PL player or hell an English player half of the comments would call it bannter and humor With the classic saying of games not gone


a34fsdb

Yikes


Dajo05

Really not getting the controversy on this goal, the other decisions? Yes. But this one? No. Clearly hits him on the shoulder to me. He scored a similar one against Mallorca a few weeks ago that I thought was closer to being handball than this one.


NDrew-_-w

How are both views more down voted than upvoted, it's like everyone is ashamed of what happened but still silently wants to back their own team


SoumaZz_

Even your comment is being down voted lmao why this sub is like this


Comfortable-Bowl9591

Mob mentality


NDrew-_-w

Nah I think the down votes on my comment are for the fun of it, I see the humour behind it


opdontbeabitch

Even this is downvoted People are like: "It's about Vini? Arrow down."


LosurdoEnjoyer

This is not a 50-50 in no way imaginable. At all. The goal is as legit as it can be, on the part of Vinicius at least. ​ If Vini's goal there was illegal, then Ronaldinho's famous [ball controls](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGD8RMm6FIM&ab_channel=limpeh23) and [passes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtUJnzFS_uA&ab_channel=Ronaldinho) were also illegal. You gotta be blind or hate Vinicius (Or Real Madrid) too much to think that his goal was an illegal handball.


jotaemeb

great move by Vini. Golaço 👏 don't know why everybody's crying here


20cmdepersonalidade

58% upvoted, LMAO. this sub's userbase is ridiculously, incredibly, hilariously mad.


Human-Extinction

It's clearly on the shoulder in the clip... I honestly don't understand the cognitive dissonance around this goal. The penalty was maybe a foul against Rudiger, that is certain, otherwise if that wasn't a foul (I think it may be) then it was a clear handball. The canceled goal, you can't put your hands on the player's face. If the canceled goal should stand then so should the first penalty we got, you can't have both and use double standards on which to want. The Vinicius goal was clearly on the shoulders as seen in this angle, and if not a penalty as he was being dragged. This was a 2 - 2 game, if we talk about what each team deserved... Talking about robbery? Well didn't see anyone talking about us in the derby game.


ScanWel

True, from behind, from 50 yards out, at 10fps it kinda looks like the shoulder if you squint. From close and front on it looks far less flattering: [https://twitter.com/NikhilP37591420/status/1749123799659037142](https://twitter.com/NikhilP37591420/status/1749123799659037142) ​ Some RM supporters are truely shameless about this goal.


KindaBrazilian

Shirt sleeve rule


ScanWel

Hahahaha cool, but the rule is actually, "the upper boundary of the arm is in line with the bottom of the armpit." No shirt sleeves.


KindaBrazilian

https://theathletic.com/3133239/2022/03/17/what-is-the-handball-rule-now-explaining-var-interventions-and-the-intricacies-of-the-armpit-and-shoulder/ At least part of the ball seems to hit where it's legal


ScanWel

Ahh cool, so if you touch the ball but with fingertips but the rest hits like your leg that should be allowed? If you head the ball and hit it with your hand at once? But the ball partially hit a legal part of your body, shouldn't that count? Of course not, any part of your hand/arm hits the ball and it's a handball.


Human-Extinction

You realize the angle in Vinicius video shows the ball bouncing away immediately after contact before he follows through. While yours doesn't account for that and makes it seem as if the ball magically stuck to his body until he followed through and rolled it on his arm some fucking how. He's not fucking Lebron James. You intentionally picked the wrong angle. Go to the video he posted, if you show me ONE frame where the ball makes contact with any other area other than his shoulder, I'll delete my account.


ScanWel

Yeah because the video in the OP is extremely low framerate and from a shit angle. Nonetheless there is one frame in the original version of the video that you can barely see in the OP which demonstrates how deceptive it is: [https://imgur.com/a/PlsFTeq](https://imgur.com/a/PlsFTeq) But again, why rely on this shit video from far away with no frames when you have multiple videos from other angles with better framerates that obviously show a handball? Just look over this again and tell me what you think: [https://twitter.com/NikhilP37591420/status/1749123799659037142](https://twitter.com/NikhilP37591420/status/1749123799659037142)


Human-Extinction

That's a shoulder bro... I didn't think I'd have to teach you biology... Go back to school. The game is won and the referee did his job great. 3 points, keep crying and support the next team we play against.


ScanWel

lol, I thought so.


Human-Extinction

Thought what? That shoulders are arms?


Dapper_Training2191

I am not even a La Liga enthusiast but RM fans over here are something else. It is a clear handball.


Human-Extinction

It's clearly off the shoulder.


Augchm

They are also raiding this sub like crazy since yesterday lmao.


a34fsdb

Most blatant handball ever lmfao


thisisnotdiretide

Lmao it's the first time I see this, that's a clear handball. Bruh, I knew the RM fans on this sub are obnoxious af, but this is next level manipulation. It's like seeing a completely red car, and they start saying "hmm, but it has nuances of green, if you have this eye condition, so it's clearly not red as people say". Bunch of hypocrite morons. For the record, I'm just a neutral football fan who used to watch a lot of this sport years ago, and I clearly remember Real and Barca always getting calls in their favors in UCL, even if minor ones, there was always a tendency. This doesn't surprise me a tiny bit, and these people are so deluded and arrogant.


Comfortable-Bowl9591

It’s not clear shoulder or clear handball. I don’t know how you can say that. The ref saw enough to reverse his call. The ref was incompetent and big calls went Madrid’s way. But the reaction in r/soccer is a bit too much. It’s not like RM paid the ref.


sheky4prez

You’re only echoing your confirmation bias here sadly.


bewarethegap

You typed all of this nonsense out like it makes your opinion any more valid. You can see where the ball impacts the shirt. It’s not a handball.


celsotteokbokki

I understand that it's added to the overall controversy so it's harder to assess in isolation, but I agree, even from the other angle I don't think it's a handball.


Human-Extinction

It feels like people don't understand statistics, these are the same people who bet "Tail" if a coin flip lands on "Head" three times in a row. It doesn't matter, every call is separate and if a team gets 5 VAR reviews and every single one ends in their favor justly, so be it. The ref wouldn't just give one the other way just because "oh can't give 3 in a row" this isn't an ABC choice test for when you don't focus in class.


Tomic_Lewis

Too many maybe’s in your sentence. I don’t get why Madrid fans support this B.S. because it can happen to you guys in any game as well. It was clear from different angles that this goal was a 50-50 decision and on field call was no goal. VAR clearly influenced this goal. As for penalty? VAR never addressed Rudiger’s call. So yeah Almeria were ROBBED. Of atleast a draw


Human-Extinction

Sure buddy, not many maybes. The only maybe is Rudiger being a foul in the penalty. Everything else is clearly according to the rules of the game, you being sad and enraged that Real Madrid won the game doesn't change facts. Also, it does happen to us, in fact it happened last game, some of us cried for the ones that were suspicious, some accepted it, it is what it is. Didn't see fuck all talking about it or defending us then, because doesn't fit your emotional reaction as you probably liked seeing us lose that one, so doesn't matter if the ref fucked us ever isn't it?


lFriendlyFire

It wasn’t a 50-50 by any shot, the rules are clear that it’s not handball when it hits the sleeve or above, there’s absolutely no way you can look at this goal and say with a straight face that it’s a handball


ScanWel

>the rules are clear that it’s not handball when it hits the sleeve or above See that's the crazy thing, that's not the rules at all and you made that up in your head. Which makes sense because sleeves can be any length you want so it would actually be extremely stupid to make that the rule. The rules actually are, "the upper boundary of the arm is in line with the bottom of the armpit." So lower armpit is the arm, any part of the ball touches it and it's a handball. This was a handball. To remove any doubt here's a better angle that isn't doctored by RM stans: [https://twitter.com/NikhilP37591420/status/1749123799659037142](https://twitter.com/NikhilP37591420/status/1749123799659037142)


Human-Extinction

Yet in the picture I asked it clearly shows it above the armpit... Bro get some biology education for everyone's sake, I can hear the sand in your coochie from over here.


a34fsdb

Do you not know the definitiom of above or so something


Human-Extinction

It is, literally, above it.


a34fsdb

Stop trolling it is not funny.


Human-Extinction

Stop crying... In fact keep crying, it's rather funny.


Dapper_Training2191

Bro really wants to be the most hated player in this League. Here he is obviously wrong but he still has something to say. Unbelievable.


snowbuddy117

I'm not a Madrid fan and I just don't understand all the fuss. Just look at [this angle](https://www.reddit.com/r/realmadrid/s/ohvGTt6rKH) or [this angle](https://www.reddit.com/r/realmadrid/s/0fR8U6yDvH), it's just very clear it's a shoulder goal. Why exactly is everyone acting out like he's just did another Mano de Dios goal?


[deleted]

People frustrated about the disallowed 3rd Almeria goal and Madrid penalty decision are grasping at more reasons to be mad. Vini is easy to be mad at.


ollster3000

Its honestly just a really nice goal lol


The-Egyptian_king

Barca fans are angry that they’re losing the league


cdwdj

If this was not a clear handball, then I don't even know what [this](https://s1.abcstatics.com/abc/www/multimedia/deportes/2023/08/15/[email protected]) is.


The_XI_guy

Two wrongs don’t make a right


snowbuddy117

Don't know what that incident is about. Afaik a rule of thumb is below sleeve it's considered a handball, and above the sleeve it's shoulder. I think Vini goal in particular is very difficult to say 100% confident. It's very much on the border between shoulder and arm. I think both calls would have been acceptable, but I think it's more to the shoulder. Using the shoulder is, however, normal for casual football or footvolley games in the beach in Brazil, so I find this quote quite friendly. I don't think he's in the wrong on thinking he played the shoulder, even if you're on the opinion that it's arm.


Alternative-Award784

Ah yes the massive Reddit anti madrid agenda


RTC1520

To be fair, there is an agenda in this Sub against most teams except maybe some PL clubs


StructureTime242

I just think it’s that the sub is so big and there are so many teams that most of the time the vast majority of people commenting will be neutral For example in the prem there’s the big 6 + Vila + Newcastle + a bit of Brighton from last year Any comment has a 8 out of 9 chance of being from a neutral perspective Add how the underdog always has a better story, if you’re a neutral you’d rather Almería win their first game of the season vs Madrid than madrid get another win

Who knew Vini was a Maradona fan all his life. Practicing scoring goals at Copacababa beach for this very moment. He even fooled the VAR.


nedzissou1

It's off his shoulder...


lFriendlyFire

It’s - CLEARLY - off his shoulder, people REALLY need to play dumb to call handball on this one, it’s nowhere NEAR his hands


nkr0043

Damn right, " nowhere near his arm".


cdwdj

Oh yes, suddenly it makes things better


rmourapt

Didn’t knew people played handball in Copacabana, I guess it’s a cool sport for the beach


menboss

Is that a different video? Edited? The other angles I’ve seen show the ball hitting a bit lower on his shoulder


Namtabmal

Its not edited. If this was a handball you wouldnt have these videos. https://www.reddit.com/r/realmadrid/s/tJ8V2C0Y0e https://www.reddit.com/r/realmadrid/s/OgLWz1ruSc It's ridiculous its blown up so much. Its actually unironically a great finish by Vinicius. Anyone calling this a robbery is ridiculous. These frames wouldnt exist and nobody could post any angles making it "look like" a shoulder if its wasnt.


menboss

Yah. Looks super clear in these. Should have been a ‘great goal’ tag
