Miguel Almirón (now playing for Atlanta United)

[1892er]

Looks like the SMBs have changed his wiki.

 

Sything marra.

Quite funny actually... At his unveiling at the Sports Direct Arena, he allegedly whipped off his Lonsdale tracksuit top and proceeded to right hook the police horse who was casually grazing on the pitch. Upon celebrating the clean knockout of the horse, he ran to the Gallowgate end to celebrate the momentous occasion with the Toon faithful. However, since protests against Ashley's dictatorship were ongoing outside the stadium, none were present. He went on to gain legendary status at the club after scoring 8 goals over the next 3 seasons, including an injury time equalizer against fierce rivals Sunderland in League 1.

Really surprised he did the presser in Spanish. He's been in the MLS for a year so you'd expect him to be able to speak decent English by now

Absolutely no need to speak English in the USA these days, Spanish almost as popular as a 1st language as English in a lot of places.

Depends where you are, really.

 

If you’re in atlanta you should prob know English. He’s a remotely quiet footballer - he prob just insulated himself from being out and about as been said before and didn’t bother.

I live in Atlanta. It would be difficult to be the average person and live here, work, and be productive unless you knew English. You could survive but not exactly thrive in the mainstream. So saying there is “no need” is a bit of an overstatement.

 

However, as a professional footballer on a team with a lot of international and Spanish speaking players, including a Spanish speaking coach, and substantial resources from the Club, Almiron never really needed to learn English. His situation was not exactly that of the average person trying to make it here

Sounds like he’s just another typical lazy Mexican. At least learn the language.

Can't blame him. In his position I'd probably not have any social media.Always seems a lot more hassle than it's worth.

Besides, teeth girl wants to pleased she never married Guthrie, or she would now be called "No teeth girl".

Greetings from across the pond! I just posted this story in the Atlanta United sub, but I thought you would appreciate it. Treat him well - he's our favorite.

 

 

 

In the Spring of 2017, just a couple months after the start of their first season, ATL UTD was really aggressive in marketing and player interaction opportunities. A neighbor friend of mine who coordinates our local farm-to-school program is good friends with someone in the Team’s front office, and after making a couple of calls, she was able to convince them to send over a few players to help the kids at the local elementary school build their new learning garden (plant seeds, grow vegetables, learn about the environment). My neighbor knew that I was a die-hard fan so she invited me and a couple other parents to help “chaperone” the event.

 

The morning of the project, a van pulls up and out walks Ambrose, Jones, and Almiron. Needless to say, all of the kids, teachers, and parents were pretty excited. The work mostly consisted of pulling some weeds, tilling the soil, digging a border around the garden and installing paver stones. The whole thing was supposed to last about an hour and a half, and nobody expected the players to do much work (they were there mostly for photos and autographs). After taking a few of our own photos, another dad and I started doing some of the digging to get ready to place the paver stones. After a half-hour or so, Miggy walks up and grabs a shovel. He asks what he can do to help (I don't speak Spanish, but I do speak Portuguese so I could understand his question and explain the digging was for the stones).

 

For the next two hours, Miggy does not stop - and I mean not even for water or a bathroom break. First he helps us dig the trenches for the stones. Then he rakes all of the weeds that had been pulled. Then he starts shuttling the stones in a wheel barrow from the nearby truck. Then he starts placing the stones around the garden. Then he makes sure the entire project is cleaned up and the kids are happy with the finished project before leaving. And he does it all with a smile on his face (shocking, I know). The entire time, the Team’s liaison is telling him he can stop, the Principal of the school is telling him he doesn’t have to actually build the garden, the parents are all telling him to not worry about it - we would finish up, even his teammates were laughing at how focused he was on the project. But Miggy, he works, he sees the project through, he shakes every hand, takes every photo, signs every autograph, and lays every paver stone. It’s funny because over the last couple years I would read articles about Miggy and Joseph showing up early for practice to work on drills and all I could think is “yeah, that’s no surprise.”

What the fuck is he doing joining us.
