ScouseFox Posted 27 November 2018 Share Posted 27 November 2018 copa final to be played next weekend not in argentina. massive disappointment, that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footballwipe Posted 27 November 2018 Share Posted 27 November 2018 But fair. River Plate deserved some form of punishment for their fan's behaviour. A bouncing Monumental though would have been an incredible sight, mind. Read spurious info that Paraguay was set to get it, though with the first involvement of the winners in the CWC just a week and a bit after the final, wouldn't be surprised to see it in Abu Dhabi.

Finnegan Posted 27 November 2018 Share Posted 27 November 2018 Genoa have offered to host it. Because what this occasion needs is the Italian police to calm things down. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He robbed her of her moment to be honoured,because instead of making the prize giving the issue, he had to have his few seconds of irrelevant highlights. Are the organisers also so stupid,they can't organise a respectfull moment for each prize-winner. There can be humerous banter,but that was pathetic and indifferent to the ceromony in recognising her achievement in her sport!!!!I It wasn't even humerous in the French-sense!!!

FoxNotFox Posted 4 December 2018 Share Posted 4 December 2018 Whilst it was undoubtedly a dickhead (not to mention sexist) moment, owing more to being a brain dead automaleon than to calculated and intentional sexism, I do take issue with some of the reporting. My impression, and it's perhaps a moot point, was that he asked if she could twerk not whether she would. He's guilty of being a sexist dork either way of course. I once watched the presentation of trophies at a local women's cycling event. The presenter, an elderly and bellied French man, asked of the young Italian winner (in his best English) as he presented the trophy "have you got a boyfriend"...

To be fair, I've seen female presenters make comment of men in shorts, etc Guess what, people find the opposite sex attractive. People need to get on with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why Martin Solveig was there in the first place remains a mystery. Why inviting a French DJ to a Ballon d'Or gala? But I find the news coverage of this happening rather misleading, too. Solveig asked Hegerberg "Est-ce que tu sais twerker?" ("Do you know how to twerk?"), he wasn't asking her to twerk in front of the audience. I agree it was a stupid comment on its own, but the media are making more out of it than it actually was. A joke. It may have its effect in a casual conversation amongst friends, but that was the wrong time and the wrong place. But I'm sure the third-wave feminists can have their moment again - look, a member of the patriarchy! Stone him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKCJ Posted 5 December 2018 Share Posted 5 December 2018 Struggling to see how anyone can defend the man to be honest. Properly out of order and it's disgusting how it's been brushed under the carpet by FIFA. Wouldn't mind hearing Hegerberg's real opinion to be honest.

Wasn't really all that long ago Sepp Blatter suggested women's footballers should wear beach volleyball gear to promote the sport tbh.

Tbh I’d take any women claiming she was raped, asked to twerk or asked to make a sandwich with a pinch of salt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
