[@KotsosN7]

@@juste5327 who am I to criticise? Politics do not belong in football and no one should abuse their fame to manipulate people. Either you follow the rules of the contract that you signed or face the consequences

[@zivkovicable]

@@KotsosN7 Can you tell me the FIFA rule he broke? Footballers are permitted to express political opinions. Plenty of right wing footballers do just that...Of course there are sanctions against specifically racist, sexist or homophobic language, but that is the case in any workplace in a civilised country.

[@KotsosN7]

@@zivkovicable bro for real now, you don't have to go to your nearest library to find the uefa articles,we have something that we use and it's called Internet. Even if I tell you you wouldn't believe but you are even bored to go just type some buttons and see for yourself what they are saying. But I'm gonna let it slide for now. Article 44 Political action 44.01 The promotion or announcement, by any means, of political messages or of any other political actions inside or in the immediate vicinity of the stadium is strictly prohibited before, during and after the match.

People of all colours religions and immigration status will vote in this election. It's a straw man argument that far right voting to kick immigrants out. Many migrants who came here left their home country for a better life and are bemused at how our leaders have let the country fall apart

[@shovelguggelheim8454]

I hope that Mbappe enjoys his 90% tax coming his way. Oh wait, his contract is what they will pay him AFTER tax? I hope that his club enjoys his 90% tax. I guess that he also has one or two big houses with lots of spare rooms. I wonder when he will go down and select random migrant families to come and live in those spare rooms? What, he lives in an area where he will never have to see the consequences of his advice? Hypocrites to the extreme. Why anyone would listen to tha advice of dumb sports stars is beyond me. They might play sports well but have no idea about the real world as they live off their millions.
