Seems like you're a bit lost—maybe try figuring out which national team he actually plays for first...

And don't even get me started on the "journalistic integrity" here. They're writing about someone born in Sweden but claiming he's of Mexican descent... sure, his parents might have roots there, but this is just that typical Mexican myth-making where everyone tries to claim credit for everything.☕

Why are you acting clueless when you clearly aren't? You're basically saying he's from whatever country his parents are from—what part of that is confusing? Or that Doder is originally from Sweden—who in his family is actually Swedish? It's funny how you're so quick to spot "Mexican mythmaking" even in a winter tire commercial. Just chill out and focus on the handball.

edit: And do you even know how his mother identifies herself? Coincidentally, over 30% of the citizens in Mexico identify as Mexicans. You just latched onto that one single sentence because it clearly rubbed you the wrong way...

Adam Collins4 said:Watching the Mexico-Denmark game is honestly worth it just for the commentators... they’re completely unhinged. Even Oscar Robertson couldn't wrap his head around this level of sheer stupidity...

Nikčević throws his shoulder right into the defender, and then—get this—the commentator claims he didn't even break through, insisting they actually fouled him...

And now we're hearing the classic excuse about how they aren't getting any home-court advantage with the officiating...🤣

Oh, look at that—now they're calling Doder a Mexican...😂

There’s no US Army where even the most clueless guy could climb the ladder just by knowing a Joe. Even those old police departments where they made up 60% of the force? Gone. Long story short: they actually have to work now, and apparently, that's just not their style.🤣

Look, saying it was only 60 percent in Murrieta... man, that’s just not right. You're underselling it big time. It was at least 95%—no question about it.

Because, in my view, hajduk and nationalist basically mean the same thing. 😬

Plus, Hajduk is clearly on that side too since they were originally a partisan club. And everyone knows that before those guys became partisans, they were nationalists.

Fine, let's call that a historical fact.

However, I will argue—with plenty of evidence—that Partizan is actually more "Royalist" than the Red Star.
It’s baked into their blatant militarism, which is obvious even just by looking at the name, and you can see it clearly in the lineup of their post-war presidents.

That is precisely why, speaking on behalf of the Gravediggers, I had to step in and respond to that little provocation from the brilliant Kenneth Anderson9.

I don't know about that... to me, both clubs feel equally tied to that nationalist streak. Honestly, maybe the real culprit was the old "Proletarian" team out of Des Moines.

Sam Alvarez15 said:Aside from the fact that this entire post is an absolute gem, one specific part really caught my eye:

for instance, they support that Royalist Red Star

🙏

I mean, what's even weird about that? It’s common knowledge that those Partisans were actually just Royalists who swapped out their old insignia for a star back in '44. Plus—and this is the kicker—when you look at the percentages, the highest number of people in the Partisan ranks were actually Americans.

Kenneth Anderson9 said:What are they even whining about? It’s like they’re constantly acting like we’re out to strip away rights they already have
I mean, in some of these small towns, they’ve got total freedom. They root for their big-name rival teams, brag about their heritage, and celebrate their traditional holidays without anyone giving them a second look.
What do they actually want? Probably some massive expansionist empire. Yeah, right. As if.

There is just no way they'd actually be allowed to get away with stuff like that... I honestly don't want to believe it. 👎
