Definitely not as popular as he’s been for Newcastle. Quite criticized lately tbh. He’s been quite hit and miss for the national team. I expected more from him, not sure he has developed much lately and seems to have the same errors in him as he had two-three years ago.
Agreed despite thinking he did deserve to win it. Hopefully he can turn in some performances for national team now. Been abysmal for the national team. People tend to forget its just a bunch of journalist voting. The whole thing has been a joke for years.
What I meant is that its under international tournaments that they and their fans have had issues in the past and neither CONMEBOL or FIFA have done anything about it.
Racism is extremely widespread in Argentina. It’s normal to have monkey chants without punishment. Their football fans are allowed to be as racist as they like week in week out in international football without any consequences. Nothing is going to be different this time around, especially when its the players involved.
