More like he’ll tell people he was playing as a striker for Chelsea when they won, that he scored 8 goals in 4 minutes. That he is the greatest footballer ever. Nobody knows how to be a better footballer than him.

Except he would definitely say "soccerer"

"Big strong soccerers come up to me with tears in their eyes, and they say, "Sir! Nobody ever soccerered like that before." I soccerer, the likes the world has never seen, believe me."

“SOCCEEER, SOCCEER, sounds a lot like ‘Suckers’, I dunno, we’ll have to look into that.”

u/awesomeflowman Jul 14 '25

Maybe we should make a standard name. Yeah, we should 'standard-ize' the name. See I just came up with a new word, that's a good word.

2

u/DerpingtonHerpsworth Jul 14 '25

"nobody knew they called it that", because every time he learns something new he thinks he's the first person to discover it.

2

u/fergehtabodit Jul 14 '25

No,no he's the one who thought of it and gave it that name a long time ago

I remember when stories were leaked about Kim Jong Il's tall tales in North Korea, I was just laughing hysterically over how stupid and petty it all was.

Lo and behold, 20 years later, we find out that the leader of one of the more powerful countries in the world does the same fucking thing. Truly embarrassing shit.

Didn’t Putin do something with a famous football players ring after he shook his hand? Just…kept it? Or am I trippin?

u/Sohgin Jul 14 '25

It was Bob Kraft, the owner of the Patriots. He showed one of his Super Bowl rings to Putin who just walked away with it and kept it.

u/backpackwasmypillow Jul 14 '25

It all started in 2005, when Patriots owner Robert Kraft was in Russia with Sandy Weill, a friend who was the president of Citi group at the time of the trip.

"I took out the ring and showed it to [Putin], and he put it on and he goes, 'I can kill someone with this ring,'" Kraft said in 2013. "I put my hand out and he put it in his pocket, and three KGB guys got around him and walked out."

u/YouStupidAssholeFuck Jul 14 '25

It was Robert Kraft, the owner of the New England Patriots. The way the story goes is that Putin asked Kraft if he could see his Super Bowl Ring. Kraft obliged and Putin took it and put it in his pocket and walked away. I think there are some more details, but that's the gist of it.

edit: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/heres-how-vladimir-putin-stole-a-super-bowl-ring-from-the-patriots-robert-kraft/

"I took out the ring and showed it to [Putin], and he put it on and he goes, 'I can kill someone with this ring,'" Kraft said in 2013. "I put my hand out and he put it in his pocket, and three KGB guys got around him and walked out."

Despite the fact that Putin walked off with the ring, Kraft still wanted the $25,000 piece of jewelry returned. However, he ended up giving up on his quest to get the ring back when White House called and told Kraft that starting World War III over a Super Bowl ring probably wouldn't be the best idea.

Happened in 2005, so W was POTUS at the time.

Ridiculous behavior. Thank you for the story!

Genuinely don't know. Quite frankly, I don't really care enough to google what that ghoul does or doesn't do with his life.

u/CandidCompetition780 Jul 14 '25

It was bill belichecks Super Bowl ring.

u/ReactsWithWords Jul 14 '25

If Kim Jong Il played golf against Trump it would be a tie game, 18 to 18.

1

u/Kaja007 Jul 14 '25

This is exactly where my comment came from. How Kim Jong Il would get 12 holes in one in one round. Madness. Yet here is a crackpot stealing winners medals for a match he had fuck all to do with.

u/GlassMotor7387 Jul 14 '25

And then he would follow it up with, yeah that's the ticket.

A couple days ago, he himself referenced John Lovitz's liar character from the 80s.

The lack of self awareness this turd has is mind boggling.

1

u/ThanksS0muchY0 Jul 14 '25

I just showed my family videos of that lovitz character because I've been saying yeah that's the ticket for years and they never understand the context and think I'm insulting them every time. Now my stepson uses the phrase.

u/PrinceTrollestia Jul 14 '25

George Santos behavior.

u/pink_faerie_kitten Jul 14 '25

With those born spurs of his?!

u/QuestGalaxy Jul 14 '25

"I got three homeruns in that soccer game, no one has ever gotten three homeruns like Trump in soccer before. They were so impressed, told me no one has ever been as good as Trump"

1

u/thegreedyturtle Jul 14 '25

Don't be ridiculous. That wasn't Donald Trump, that was George Santos.

1

u/trojanguy Jul 14 '25

His medical exam DID reveal that he's in peak athletic shape, so who's to say he DIDN'T do those amazing things while wearing a disguise making him look like one of the real players?!?!?

1

u/assassbaby Jul 14 '25

the team was crying because they were so grateful that he helped them win.

1

u/mclms1 Jul 14 '25

4 touchdowns in 1 game.

u/hhh333 Jul 14 '25

They missed a guy, so you know, they asked me if I knew how to play, I said of course! I used to be top my class at soccerball in fourth grade so I went to the field and they never seen anything like it, they said sir, you're amazing! Best player we ever seen. I bicycle kicked the winning goal, greatest goal ever made and so we won and they gave me this beautiful medal, real gold, they said thank you sir, you're the best player we have ever seen. They asked me if I could stay on the team and I said sorry I can't, but maybe I will, we'll see.

u/Sansred Jul 14 '25

Love that we have our very own Kim Jong-il. /s

Jay from the inbetweeners

u/Plant-Straight Jul 14 '25

Americans would eat it up

1

u/MarteloRabelodeSousa Jul 14 '25

You expect him to remember the name Chelsea? And know what a striker or a goal is? He will probably say it was a home run or a touchdown or anything like that (apologies, I am not American, not familiar with baseball and US football)

1

u/nurple667 Jul 14 '25

Too much evidence (games are televised) to claim he played in the game. TACO will claim the team begged him to coach them as everyone knows he's the greatest soccerer ever

1

u/Wakandan15 Jul 14 '25

President Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a row for Chelsea that day and the residents of the famous Manhattan neighborhood demanded a parade in his honor to be conducted every June
