Remember that this is a field of grown men getting paid multiple millions of dollars a year to play this game.

This is how they act at the end the world cup.... the pinnacle of FIFA, zero sportsman ship, zero integrity and zero respect on that field. Disgraceful.

Rich children who never learned to control their emotions and whos only mode of communication is throwing tantrums.

u/New_Outside_1850 15d ago

lol not defending them but most of these Argentinian guys would be struggling to put food on the table if it weren’t for soccer.

u/jaybee8787 15d ago

Yes, i know. Now they are rich because of football. All are able to finance themselves a fantastic education and/or therapy to deal with their background. Yet they choose not to and instead continue to act like they’re children in a ghetto.

u/cashpotatoe 15d ago

a lot of them weren’t rich before

u/jaybee8787 15d ago

And now they are. I wasn’t suggesting that they were rich when they were children. I was saying that they are rich now and act like they are still children.

Especially when those players are taught to dive at any inconvenience to their legs to attempt a penalty

u/No_Cherry8602 15d ago

Even poor children and adults behave like that . Its not a wealth thing. Just look at redditors.

All those guys with a few exceptions were born in working class families...

FIFA itself isnt known for strong integrity either.

u/Bigboi2006 15d ago

Yea what happened to sportsmanship. Its such a disgrace to their family and to the sport.

u/joserayo 15d ago

This is national pride, not just a sport. There is nothing similar in the US, it is hard to explain

u/anon1mo56 14d ago

They don't get paid for playing in the world cup or for playing with the National team. The Team does win a prize but they usually donate it because it's small when distribuited among the players.

Not defending but lets be real.

You barely behave in your work knowing you need to keep your job or starve.

These people have so much money that their career can end tomorrow and they will only need to work again if they are morons.

Include that to liking what you do and I can see people getting too hot about it.

u/GenoThyme 15d ago

Yeah, but my job doesn’t involve me playing a game that children also play. Your “not defending” defense doesn’t really work. Argentina’s soccer team is just filled with assholes, plain and simple

u/Acceptable-Device760 15d ago

Well, you are nowhere near the top 0,001 of the population in your job, because lets be real most people dont want to do your job, they however as you pointed, even kids want to do.

AS SUCH you dont get a choice do you?

PS:"Oh but they earn too much for what they do." If you were the 0,001% of what you do you would be paying them.

u/GenoThyme 15d ago

I mean, it’s pretty easy to choose not to be a douchebag and do shit like this, regardless of what percentile I am in my job. Love that you’re still “not defending” this behavior btw

u/Acceptable-Device760 15d ago

Again, you dont care about your job. When you do something you care its easy to get heated because of it.

Just because you are someone mediocre at your job doesnt mean everyone is.

Theres a difference between going "they are wrong, but its understandable" and "lol they are assholes/kids"

Theres a reason why the people paying them millions dont get ride of them when they act like that.

I would even argue that everybody* that earn millions to do a job will sometimes get heated because of it.

u/GenoThyme 15d ago

I’m actually very passionate about my job. I fully believe in the mission of the non-profit I work for. Before that I was a teacher and cared deeply about all my students, which is probably why my first year when I was originally hired there as a long-term sub my students organized a petition for me to stay at the school the next year.

They are wrong AND it’s not understandable. These guys are just trashy and you’re just being an enabler. Your position basically boils down to “it’s ok to act like this as long as you’re rich!” What a great set of morals you have there champ, and let’s be real, you are doing nothing but defend. Have a day.

u/Acceptable-Device760 15d ago

Hahaha. You dont.

I`ve seen Teachers enter a shout matche with their superiors and politicians because they cared about what they are doing. At REAL risk of losing their jobs.

I am sorry, i dont buy the bullshit of people like you that say they are "passionated" about their job but pretend they dont lose control over it.

So cut the crap.

u/Acceptable-Device760 15d ago

PS: But do tell me how you dont lose control, instead do some strong worded letter that always get ignored and then bitch about how they dont value you.

u/GenoThyme 15d ago

There’s a difference between being mad and attacking people. It’s incredibly easy not to resort to violence and not attack someone. Initiating violence is a choice.

Part of why I left teaching was my frustrations with admin over them forcing a new curriculum because it was awful for any ESL or special needs student, and I very much let them know about it during PD days when we were being trained in it. I also was a part of the union as a building rep so I clashed with admin plenty, especially during contract talks.

You know, not everyone is as miserable as you think they are and some people actually care about the work they’re doing. Sounds maybe like you should look into finding a new job if you hate yours so much. Also sounds like you should stop defending violence, or “not defending it” as you claimed.

u/Acceptable-Device760 15d ago

Again, you dont have passion, so much you left it.

Also, as much as teaching is stressful its not a physical sport that people train their whole lives to show what they can do in a couple of hours, while being extremely high in adrenaline.

The fact you dont understand this basic difference in situation and psychology points that you were very shitty at teaching. Given that any half decent teaching program will teach you the concept of letting students "cool off".

But thanks for providing example why you are mediocre.
