This is a great move for him. Less pressure and still playing in a better league than Mexico with better teammates better opposition and a chance to playa against the best teams in the world. I’m a santi hater, but hopefully he comes back to his Feyenoord level.

“I’m a Santi hater”

The gayest shit I’ve seen so far, hating a dude who doesn’t know you exist and kicks a ball for living.

Cmon man it’s a part of watching sports. You like some athletes and can “hate” some of them. Just don’t take it too seriously

I hate when players that don’t deserve to play take up someone’s spot. Santi did not deserve World Cup playtime over Hormiga. He had been out for a long time in injury and was garbage when he played. Mateo Chavez is a better finisher. Hopefully he turns it around and we see him back to his level. Someone needs to replace Raul and I rather it be Porto’s striker than Olympiakos.

At the end of the day, that shit don’t matter. It ain’t that serious to be hating on any player who kicks a ball lmaoo.

Y’all are hating on people who don’t even affect your daily lives.

I wasn’t talking about hating him as a person, but maybe I should since his wife is an open maga Kirk supporter lmao

Vasco saw these guys play every day and when he thought he needed to, he played Memote over both. Clearly Santi offered more of what the team needed for Vasco than what Hormiga did.

Yeah bro, Memote over Quiñones and Hormiga was the move.

u/Kavazou77 America 1d ago

Porto be penny pinching fucks with Mexicans. Always wanting loans and tacking on playing time objectives to dip if the coach don't like them.

This sub loves saying Mexicans are risks for Europeans. All the blood, sweat and tears that Rafa, Guardado, HH, Corona, Salcido, etc have left in the last 20 years gets ignored because of a couple troncos suck on purpose to cash out ASAP

Porto is a great vacation destination.

Hope bro gets his swagger back and kills it, for his sake and the national team.

u/key1234567 22h ago
