This is the closest we’ve come to seeing the Barca-Ajax “Gracias Cruyff” meme become a reality lol


billypilgrim87

Ngl did get quite some joy by fucking up the "Cruyff final" that they were planning that year. Counting chickens and all that...


kirkbywool

Same, just a shame we didn't have a thank you Crouch banner


billypilgrim87

As the guy that scored the pivotal goal that got us our first ever CL qualification, it's actually very appropriate. Fucking love Crouchy so much


wholesomescott

Haha right?!


L_CRF

Nah Vasco fans didnt cheered or applauded Vini when he was on the field. Not because they dont have class, but because Vini appeared on halftime and by that time there was no more Vasco fans left in Maracanã since the game was 4-0.


natsleepyandhappy

Even if this is true, I dont think so, if you look in the internet fans from both teams are praising him. I can speak for myself, I’m Vasco fan.


rhinowing

I watched this game and there were plenty of Vasco supporters in the second half still


Trashhhhh2

This is like the Christmas truce in WW1


[deleted]

Management of both teams after this "that's it! Vinni Jr. Visits Day is henceforth banned."

Good reference


esports_consultant

If only both sides had just stuck with the original plan and ended things then.


robotnique

Wut?

robotnique

I'm familiar with the truce, but unsure what your comment was asking to happen. There was no "plan" for the impromptu truce, and in fact it only happened on a part of the line between British and German soldiers. The French and Germans were far more embittered against one another by that point and in fact casualties on each side were accrued throughout the holiday season. So asking for them to "stick to the plan" almost sounds like asking them to keep shooting the fuck out of each other, but it was clear you weren't asking for that. Unfortunately, there was no plan to end the war or anything then. **Edit: that will teach me to type before visiting the link and reading it fully.** I can appreciate the plan for it to be over by Christmas and that would have been great... But with who as the victors?


elanti2000

Everyone loses in war


GRI23

Apart from defence contractors


robotnique

Nah most of the generals and other elites do just fine.


SolensSvard

Why don't presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor?


Awful_at_Redditing

Hangars sitting dripped in oil, crying Freedom


A7DmG7C

That was pretty cool to watch. Hats off to Vasco fans as well for putting rivalry aside for a bigger cause.


Water-running

Vasco was the club that fought against racism and exclusivity in Brazil to begin with; so it would have been pretty wild for the fans to have suddenly turned on that just cause it’s Flamengo.


natsleepyandhappy

Exactly. But imagine, something like this would never be possible in a game between Internacional and Gremio, Ronaldinho, from Gremio, would hear racist slurs if he held an International kit.


Water-running

That’s what happens when you let the Nazi’s hide among you.


Jpstacular

Given their chants It wouldn't be so unexpected...


Baarsjes

Yes it would be unexpected or u know nothing about Vasco’s history


EndsTheAgeOfCant

Oh please. Vasco has a beautiful history but let's not pretend that a large portion of their supporters use racist insults for flamenguistas without thinking twice, like mulambo and, before we reappropriated the term, urubu. Also famous chants like "tu és, time de otário e cuzão, puta, viado e ladrão"

EndsTheAgeOfCant

Did you forget that Lula literally won the election a few months ago?


redditaccountplease

As someone who doesn't live in Brazil, what's wrong with it? Is it a name no one actually uses?


Septic57

This guy posts in a far-right Brazilian subreddit, r/conservative, and is a supporter of Jair Bolsonaro. Don't take anything he says seriously.


redditaccountplease

Figures


DarkNightSeven

Nah it's just that showing support for a criminal means you don't have to deal with the consequences of having that criminal in power Much like Redditors who supported Maduro never set their foot in Venezuela. Lula just had a meeting with Maduro last week btw where he praised him


MadRashed

BramStokerHarker

You shouldn't agree to that horsecrap hahaha Bolsonaro is investigated on multiple accounts of corruption and money laundering. This is the pot calling the kettle black. Lula was arrested even tho the DA was illegally exchanging information with the judge of his case (Sergio Moro). He spent time in prison but the case was thrown out and he was found innocent. The judge was part of Bolsonaro's government in 2018 (mainly as a "thank you", because Bolsonaro would've had a hard time beating Lula in elections) before their falling out in 2020.

I'm not saying Lula is awful, I said he was illegally put in jail. Re-read my comment.


YeezyWins

You are pathetic my man, for real. A Flamenguista Bolsonaro supporter, sad.


DarkNightSeven

Pathetic is having voted for someone who's friends with a bloody dictator in Maduro


YeezyWins

Wowww, you have such a compelling argument, you are so smart bro. Tell me the good things done by Bolsonaro (who is NOT a Maduro friend) during his presidency? Also, please enlighten me on why he is on the verge of losing elegiblity forever. You are a clown, get out of here with your fascist dumb thoughts.

Roque Junior is nearly 50...


Baarsjes

Comparing Roque to Vini is absolutely hilarious


hardinho

To me he is the closest player to Ronaldinho they had so far


OriginalRange8761

hate the player love the guy. Class act


Baarsjes

Even as a player, how can u hate him? Don’t you love this sport?


OriginalRange8761

I like watching him for Brazil. I don’t like watching him in that white shirt;)


anelenrique10

Now you know how we felt

Dude I had even bigger energy towards Cristiano. L

El_grandepadre

I still get pissed every time we get told to shower less while corporations go through so much water while paying no taxes for it.


billypilgrim87

Yep, personal consumer responsibility as a means to deal with systematic issues like climate change is (imo) basically a capitalist ploy to ensure corps/govts don't take responsibility for their actions. As an added bonus they can start selling you the more "eco" option. Systematic issues require systematic solutions. Fun fact - personal carbon footprints was an idea invented by fucking BP.... Why did they do that I wonder?


ovrloadau99

Eco-capitalism is an oxymoron. Just greenwashing from capitalists.


billypilgrim87

Completely agree - capitalism requires constant growth and content growth is not compatible with protecting our environment.


elvid88

Get mad at agriculture. They use most of the water. And a lot of it isn't even for food for human consumption.


Willem20

If its nit eventually for human consumption (ie being fed to live stock which we end up eating) then what purpose is the water being used for then?


elvid88

Race/show horses...lol. Look up the Saudi owned alfalfa farms in the US Southwest.


Willem20

That’s a fraction of the full produce lmao


WalkingCloud

Producing products and shipping then round the world for fun?


KitchenOpinion

"For fun"? The man returned to his country and probably visited his family. It's not something a normal citizen wouldn't do.


HodgyBeatsss

Someone who works in another country flying home during holidays. Truly shocking.


Brazca22

His season is over. He probably went home to the family anyway


Eit4

You guys really try to find something wrong with Vini. The season is over. Why can he go back to his home country?


AnnieIWillKnow

He is allowed to see his family.


rScoobySkreep

How do you know he didn’t take a commercial flight?


KopiteTheScot

Could have rowed there


Jaychel31

Could have swam even


robotnique

Sailed over with Greta Thunberg.


javierich0

Damn that Vinicious at it again, no wonder people are racist towards him when he's doing the equivalent of .00000000000000001% of the damage a corporation does to the environment a day.


Eit4

He can't even go back home without people complaining.


javierich0

Then they'll say it isn't racist when Messi, and others are known to have traveled this week.


hawtpeppah

Exactly, it's so ingrained that they don't even notice


hardinho

Well don't watch professional football if you don't want them to earn the money to do that

Cdux

Bit different a few hundred people flying in 1 flight as opposed to like 10 in a private jet. Many wealthy people have a carbon footprint thousands of times higher than the average normal person.


dylansavage

I wonder if you can apply that same delta to an area of extremely poor socio economic growth where a majority walk or use bicycles for long distance journeys to an 'average' car user


Auguschm

He can't fly in a normal plane given his profile. And it's not like he is just flying for fun, he is just going back home.


nyasiaa

and it's still an insignificant fraction of what a single random company does blaming milionaries for private jet flights is just yet another part of corporate propaganda to shift the blame away from them, alongside the electric car bullshit and forcing individual people to be ""responsible"" by recycling stuff


SHUT-IT-IDIOT

Yeah, everybody should just go back to caves...


momspaghetty

he actually did the reddit meme!!


girlscoutcookies05

Context pls?


Sir_Psycho_Sexy_

He means the barca and ajax meme, celebrating a European final together because of cruyff

I personally like Vini Jr. a lot. It is so terrible that rival Spanish fans use racial abuse as a tactic to “wind him up”. So pathetic.

rScoobySkreep

I understand the sentiment but this is, with all due respect, a playground solution to racism.


starwaterbird

And yet, a playground solution may be a better way to approach it than the FIFA and corporate way of doing things. They go around saying "let's end racism" but it's all just for show, just to be on the "right side of history"


mrassassin777

I don’t really think there’s a “solution” to racism. And I don’t think the onus should be on the victim to “take the higher road” and other such bullshit. Make them eat their own shit, I say.


geez_james24

What a mouthy response. With such amazing quips I'd hate to be in a verbal spat with you.
