  2. They shouldn’t have played in that shithole anyways. I hate how many sports go to those kind of countries.

  3. >That is likely because of the disparaging comments he has made about the influx of players heading to the Saudi Pro League.
    Previously, he said: “It’s been said that they play ambitious football there, but it’s all about the money. In the end, it’s a decision for the money and against football.

    Not sure what this has to do with European values.

  4. Why European value are more important that other culture/countries values? Will you boo if Saudi Arabia footballler promote Saudi Arabia values in match in Europe, that you don’t agree with?

    PS. I am Europian but I have common sense and trying to understand why everyone expect the whole world to function based on his own understanding what is good and bad. I strongly disagree with having Saudi Arabia values in Europe but I believe its not my business to tell them what values should they have in their own country.

  5. Next time you fill your SUV at the gas station, just remember we are all responsible for this. We’ve been sending 100s of Billions of Euros every year to the KSA and other gulf nations. They’ve invested it, corrupted our politicians and now they are in a position to make demands and impose their point of view. Shame on us.

  6. where was he ‘defending European Values’ (whatever that is)? nothing about that in the article

  7. Shouldn’t be playing the Super Cup there in the first place.

  8. European football is already out of balance anyway. Big clubs in big countries such as BeyernMunich and RealMadrid can buy out small clubs. And footballers also choose the money.

  9. Players follow money. What’s new? It’s called ambition and it’s part of life.

    Tell me one successful player that’s stayed at his city club during all his career and I’ll give you 100 that followed the money.

  10. I’m shocked! They’re usually such tolerant people…

  11. Fuck Real Madrid and Spanish League, and anyone else who do sporting events in a literal asshole of the world, all for a pretty penny.

  12. As someone from the MENA region, honestly Europeans sell out to arab money and oil, the war in iraq to help Saudis stop shias and spread Saudi sunni culture, Europeans politicians love to talk about western values and how evil states like Iran is who supplies Russian is but at the same time giving weapons to the biggest sponsor of Salafism and Wahabism Saudi arabia who then use those weapons to kill civilians in Yemen, European politicians also get paid by Saudis so they can build madrasas and mosques in europe where they preach wahabism inside Europe. In Morocco we have the same issue, we ask the saudis for fundings for roads, schools and hospitals but instead get Saudi mosques with saudi imams who preach the most radical islam hence why Moroccans will pop up as terrorists in parts of Europe, Its been going on for very long that european politicans sell out for that sweet sweet saudi money.

  13. When AJ was boxing there a few weeks ago I couldn’t help but notice the lack of atmosphere, is it only the elite rich people that can attend these events? Do they even have normal working class people over there?

  14. What are european values?

    More in line with Hungary or Sweden? 

  15. Damn, as a Barca fan Kroos just gained my respek

  16. Quite funny to see Toni Kroos posting these things while getting 4.5 Million Euros every year by Real Madrid. This whole sport is about fucking money. In Saudi Arabia it’s just more money.

  17. They own our means to heat and cook, allow us to pen their means to be entertained in sport.

    No-one but the elite give a shit there, everyone but the elite give a shit here. Hands off cunts.

  18. Oh whatafuckingshame…these greedy arseholes are about to learn a hard but entirely foreseeable lesson.
