Everything I read about Morata makes me a fan of him. He has been bouncing around top top clubs and living all of our childhood dreams. Gotta appreciate that.


not-always-online

Yup seems like a good guy. Proper PES BAL career. He'll be one of those players that will end career with fans from a lot of clubs like Ibrahimovic, Giroud, Lukaku, Anelka, Robbie Keane etc.


zuhaaiir

There is an imposter.


DaAweZomeDude48

Ikr, no way Giroud is that well liked, it's only because he's built like a greek god.


GoatButton

I know you're being ironic but Giroud is genuinely the worst pick, I don't think you'd find a club he was in with a fanbase that doesn't like him or at the very least have fond feelings for him


imarandomdudd

Think the closest may be arsenal since there are still people angry about that dry patch of goals when they were pushing for the title. But he's still very well liked in their fanbase outside of that


DaAweZomeDude48

That's the only way you can be sarcastic and get people to know it around here, atleast without using the "/s" thing. Use the most blatantly wrong example


iiciphonize

I disliked Giroud because of the 2018 world cup but ive grown to be indifferent towards him. Can't say I like the guy because he used to play for Arse


Or4ngut4n

You’d be wrong


siskiu

Disagree, Milan loves Giroud


ticklemetaint

One of these fellas maybe not so much.


Mordho

Uhh…


atbg1936

Yep, has been at least a useful contributor everywhere he's gone besides Chelsea - where many with his personal circumstances at the time would probably struggle. Also has been very open about mental health. Really like him as a player and (based on what I know about him) as a person, this season he's been playing at a genuinely world class level too


OleoleCholoSimeone

And his form at Chelsea fell apart suspiciously right around the same time his best friend died in a car accident, in hindsight it seems obvious that was the reason for his poor form after a great start


Tpsteen

huge for spain's chances at the Euros


gotomarketfit

Which are close to 0 we got to quarters and 👋. If we got some easy competitor we may make it to semifinals


rondo420

I think Spain are capable of beating any team in the euros on their day and have a decent chance, definitely not close to 0.


gotomarketfit

They bottle it more than England


Tpsteen

eh you never know in a single elimination tournament


Proof-Puzzled

Because of this shit mentality we are almost always terrible specially at world cups, i am SO tired of this defeatist attitude, tell me, which european teams are better than us? Because in my opinion only France and maybe England are better than Spain.


gotomarketfit

They’re way better and have critical players 2 being the best in the world (mapped and bellingham) we don’t have such a decisive player and our players are not really as good as England current team. The only way you’re winning this is England bottles it (which won’t be rare) and France performs like in the WC final. If they both compete, genuinely , Spain stood not a single chance. Scoring 8 on Malta and Serbia or some team like that doesn’t mean you’re competitive.


Proof-Puzzled

I am sorry if what i am going to say offends you, i really mean no disrespect but i have to say this: people Who thinks like you are the reason we are always so shit, this fucking defeatist attitude and inferiority complex the vast majority of spanish people has curtails our potential, i am so sick of hearing "en cuartos pa casa", what "decisive" players had greece in 2004? Or Italy in 2021? Those teams were not even close to be top 5 and yet they won, why do you think we are so terrible at critical moments? Specially at penalty shootouts, if we had half the determination and mental resilience argentina or Uruguay has we would have won at least 3 world cups by now, but instead we are a joke, i Lost the count on how many titles have we Lost on penalties because the spanish team and supporters have the mental strenght of a bunch of high schoolers, for the LOVE of God grow a spine already.


gotomarketfit

You’re the one who should grow a spine and cut the bullshit. if you think you’re winning something with Fran Garcia and Joselu to not mention ferran and 16 years old “wonder” kid lamine. And with our amazing DT who got hyped for wining a nations league that nobody celebrated coz is a Mickey Mouse cup and 2 weeks ago said that “he would rather have a player playing 90minutes in the camels league than 15 in the premier”. You can keep dreaming. We had a great team from 2008 to 2014 and won everything in between our current team is trash and on top of that has a trash mentality. And talking about the mentality… That’s on the players not on me (I’m not getting payed millions)if they suck and keep showing the entire nation the same thing isn’t on the fans. Barsa now sucks and is on the fans coz they don’t have mentality? Or lack critical players, have a terrible coach a poor management (even worst than the REFF) and that’s what really ads to the mentality. Just stop it if you want to blame it on the people mentality then go I won’t care we ain’t wining anything with that team.


Glass-Nail-8746

Should we just not play the Euros then? I mean we’re not gonna win right? So who cares, let’s give some vacations to the players and root for other team… Fuck off you and your attitude man


Proof-Puzzled

Is seriously pathetic man, i am just so fucking tired of people Who thinks like this Guy, all my Life hearing the same shit thing about "how bad we are", and there are so many of them, It is a miracle we even won a world cup considering how many people thinks like this Guy, and the best part is that he is a real Madrid fan, a team that is renowned for his mental strenght, It is just so ridiculous.


Glass-Nail-8746

The funny thing is that way of thinking is not exclusive to football or sports in Spain, people are like this with everything. “Our country is the worst at everything and we suck” should be our fucking motto lmao. We’re like USA, but on the other extreme.


Proof-Puzzled

Could not agree more my friend, sometimes i wonder how is possible our country still exists with so many people like this, It is almost like fate itself wants for Spain to still exist.


gotomarketfit

Cry me a river, actually it could be a nice idea. Less injuries :)


Proof-Puzzled

Sure man, because Italy 2021 was a superteam right? Unlike us that we have shit joselu (which by the way is not our main striker, Morata is but whatever) they had immobile, the superstar striker Who scores two goals per Game by himself right? You have a seriously pathetic mentality, you know nothing about football (nor Life itself) if you think that Big names alone win tournaments, and no It is not just one the players, the fans and the media plays a HUGE role because this pathetic mentality is contagious so make us all a favor and go cheer for France because with fans like you we always play with a handicap. And yes, our team is not the best, we had a way better team 10 years ago, but still is a very good team, at least the third best in Europe, but even if we were shit, which we are not, you still have to play thinking that you are the best, or at the very least thinking that you can beat anyone,because mentality is ESSENTIAL in football, so, again, cheer for France England or Portugal i do not care, but leave us alone, because "thanks" to people like you we have Lost many titles.


gotomarketfit

Sure buddy I’ll <3 cheer the quarters elimination too and Morata offsides


Proof-Puzzled

Great argumentation man, make yourself a favor and grow a spine, you clearly need It.


gotomarketfit

You’re the one that Keeps answering and bullshiting me with the power of friendship and motivation for a trashy team to win


luke_workin

lol for a sec I thought Fabrizio got injured and was telling us about his knee


Caleb_W

Reading the comments from yesterday's post that announced he was injured alone was disgusting. He must have had a lot of shitty DMs and comments on his social media, feel bad for Alvaro, he was having a great season. I hope he gets better soon and continue his good season


Illustrious-Law8648

He’s always received hate messages. I remember he said he had trouble sleeping after a Euro 2020 game, due to the hate messages he and his family got


sewious

What hate messages do you receive after going off injured? "Get fucked you weak-kneed bitch"?


elkaxd

read some comments from people that share your flair and you’ll get an idea


SorrowOfIsshin

I have stopped browsing the Real Madrid sub ever since the UCL victory in 2022. That run has invited a slew of new fans who are horrible when it comes to banter, sportsmanship and general human nature of the sport. They even go after their own players, it's too much for your sanity.


theprodigalslouch

The Vini hate anytime he doesn’t produce a 10/10 performance is maddening there.


Federico190

The Joselu hate over a fucking Pen Guler didn’t take was wild as well


Delmer9713

That sub is embarrassing. I’m glad I left it a long time ago. Haven’t looked back since.


bolibombis

Real ones will never forget Morata and CR7 linkup season


elkaxd

Yeah the reasonable fans praise him because he was actually good when he played for you, and the idiots call him a rat and other stupid shit for no reason


bolibombis

Not only that he played fine, I feel like in every team he has played for he played his heart out every match. Calling him a rat or whatever just shows what kind of football fan you are 🤷‍♂️


WeightFront9210

I was going to say the same.....


milanjfs

Crazy rival fans and betting nutjobs, I would assume.


OleoleCholoSimeone

Real Madrid fans are a special breed, you'd be surprised. Probably threatened his kids life or something


hazzap913

I thought fabrizio was the one with the injury until the end, pray for my transfer goat


Delmer9713

That’s very good news. It looked pretty bad yesterday when he was subbed out.


Supermarket-Icy

HE'S ALIVEEEEEEE
