Disgusting tackle but his explanation is amusing.
https://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/oct/06/roy-keane-alf-inge-haaland-book
However, Keane also goes on to say in his new book, The Second Half, that he has never regretted slamming his studs into the knee of the Manchester City player. Haaland, he says, "pissed me off, shooting his mouth off. He was an absolute prick to play against. Niggling, sneaky. I did want to nail him and let him know what was happening. I wanted to hurt him and stand over him and go: 'Take that, you cunt.' I don't regret that. But I had no wish to injure him.
"It was action; it was football. It was dog eats dog. I've kicked lots of players and I know the difference between hurting somebody and injuring somebody. I didn't go to injure Haaland. When you play sport, you know how to injure somebody.
"There was no premeditation. I'd played against Haaland three or four times between the game against Leeds, in 1997, when I injured my cruciate and the game when I tackled him, in 2001, when he was playing for Manchester City. If I'd been this madman out for revenge, why would I have waited years for an opportunity to injure him?

Does anyone knows what is the song that is played before many of the matches?(not the anthems obviously)
Yeah, people are mean.
its the spider one at the end that gets me
Yeah, look how hurt he was, so hurt he couldn't even wait for the doctors to check him once the card was given.
the spider one lmao

Sorry, but that is bullshit.
First of all, you don't need to bring attention to a foul.
Second most of the time, it aren't even hard fouls players receive, but still act like they were just shot in their foot.
Do y'all remember that time Argentina was so scared of facing off against Peru on the 1986 WC qualifiers that an argentinian player broke the leg of the player that was going to mark Maradona? Fun times
this might be true now, but that wasn't always the case, especially before the VAR.

I wouldn't bother trying to get a response from ZattMurdock, he's too busy in the Brazil OT accusing everyone of, and I quote "casual racism".
So apparently anyone who doesn't agree with him is a racist. How does he function day-to-day as an adult?

Trying to twist distaste for Neymar's antics into racism is some Olympic-level mental gymnastics.
DCEU Era already ignores him. Not sure about Marvel Era.
It probably helps that Southgate knows the exact feeling/thoughts that the Colombian player is going through and knows exactly how the press will react from his own experiences
im sure he would use the infinity gauntlet in his avatar to change those neymar posts to suit his agenda if he could
He's offering to put a word in with pizza hut. Don't get it twisted!
There's some serious misconception here and on social media about the VAR. Not only it's going through the obvious growing pains and messing it up from time to time, VAR isn't supposed to intervene when a player suffers a "normal" foul or even to say if the ball went out of the pitch or not. I read an article that explained the refs recommendations for the VAR use and while the rules aren't entirely clear, we still pretty much have a human ref on the pitch that has the final say. He can easily even ignore a VAR recommendantions if the foul is for an yellow card or less, like it happened countless times in the WC already. Players overreact to get attention of the ref that is on the picth, not the VAR.
EDIT:
Here's the article I was talking about:

Germany, Brazil, Holland, Italy the last side we lost to was France in a really tight match
It was always.
Was there even an instance during this world cup where they var was used to see if there was a foul?
Seven Nation Army? Its a good song but way overplayed at this WC for sure. I suppose its easy for everyone to join in with.
Ah the famous Cristo do Voltando para Casa.
Such a modern marvel.
Let's just hope the cup isn't too heavy and injures him irreparably.
Wait....................you actually read the posts when people are going crazy in these threads? That sounds unhealthy lol

Doesn't make him any less of a cunt and a bad sportsman. There's no cure for being a cunt, not even a world cup.
terrible game
i have no idea what that is. link me if you can, appreciate it
fuck no, that is torture and not something im into. but after matches i do love to read some of yalls stellar commentary.
I must say, I've rather enjoyed being drawn back into football a little this World Cup. And this thread has had a role to play in that.
What I haven't appreciated quite so much is being re-introduced to that fucking Gala Freed From Desire song that all the fans seem to chant.
Hated it the first time round, hate it now. But it was in that Swedish fan reaction video someone posted earlier and it's been stuck in my head since.
Therefore I hate my head and I'm not sure I've ever known self-loathing quite like it.

Please watch this video. I promise it has absolutely nothing to do with that song. Honest.
