Brazil's awful form will cost Vini the trophy. My bet is Rodri, he seems to have gotten a lot of positive PR lately too.

Rodri seems like the most probably indeed.

Who do you see as 2nd and 3rd?

[–] UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Vini and Bellingham were popular for a long time, and both got Madrid's PR machine behind their back which can never be discounted. Personally I'd pick Kroos over both.

So:

  1. Rodri
  2. Kroos
  3. Vinícius

But I wouldn't bet any money on any other spot than nr. 1

My completely unbiased list would be

  1. Rodri
  2. Yamal
  3. Haaland

What's you list?

I like your second list, even maybe with Haaland before Yamal, but Rodri still top.

Actually with the Euro that Spain did, your order makes the more sense!

Why so many whistles from the Sociedad supporters?

[–] SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Everyone hates vini in Spain, there's always whistles, booing, insults and racist chants. Always.

That's crazy. Is it pure racism?

[–] SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Partially. Partially it's the fact that Madrid as a club are hated for being powerful. And vini is the kind of player no defense wants to face. The kind of player who'll humiliate defenders and cause chaos. And once it started and crowds managed to get a reaction out of him, crowds across the country realised they can rile him up now. Also they don't like him for talking against Spain and their clubs and fanbases.

There's quite a few factors at play

I see, thanks
