The only one I watched was the Figo one and it was basically Flo explaining how he got RM to where it is. I enjoyed that one but prob last one I'll ever watch.
I like those docs about our UCL victories. But they are cheesy as hell. Real Madrid in general is a cheesy team.
Every club and player gets a book and an amazon/Netflix doc nowadays that is basically an extended promo video. It's about being present on as many marketplaces as possible. It's also setting up Netflix and Amazon (who already have) to have a foot in sports before they fully buy in. Amazon started with the Docs then went live sports and so will Netflix starting with the NFL deal.
I find it uninteresting to do a documentary before a player retires because the athletes whole story hasn’t been told . Because I guess these are different because it involves whoever is producing it investing resources into all of these behind the scenes footage . At the end of the day , it’s just another exercise in money grabbing and blatant self promotion for the athlete and the producer . In Brazil they have a documentary scout Richarlison .
I can't wear then anymore, I get bruises on my toes after any game. All boots nowadays seem to be super narrow especially around the toes, I can only wear leather boots like Tiempos.
One thing that makes me instantly go back to being a child is entering a sporting goods shop and going for the balls and the shoes. We were at a huge mall with my father the other day and he picked up a nike boot and said "this is like a sock!" which really brings it to the point doesnt it?
Man, like 2 decades ago now I used to follow boot releases like kids do Iphones today, knowing full specs on predators and the like. Your dad is 100% right. When someone steps on my foot with studs I get 0 protection these days. I guess the point is to make the boots feel weightless and give you more control as if you have no shoes on, except that I get lots of pain from how tight the boots are so it defeats the whole point.
Nike Premier boots best deal out there. Comfortable right out of the box and all conical studs sole plate. Unless you play on real nice and soft grass, I find conical studs better than blades.
Yup, great call. I have been looking for these everywhere, super hard to find them in sizes 11+ in the US for some reason, especially turf ones.
I picked up a pair of the Nike Phantom GX2 with the AG sole plate and these have been the best boots I’ve had since the OG Hypervenom 1s, which coincidentally is being re-released this summer.

Vinny in braids isn’t a good omen…. Vinicius' new look. 👀🇧🇷 pic.twitter.com/uD7Oj5OS56— Madrid Xtra (@MadridXtra) June 4, 2025
No way those are real, like when he did his dreads and braids last time. They weave in human hair to give the length. I’m kidding around of course, but every time he’s worn his hair with the long braids and dreds his play his drops noticeably. Maybe this time it’s different?
Vini fitting to ball out of control this summer, it's his rehearsal for next years world cup. It's coming home (the Balon d' Or).
Apparently Vinny wants to be the highest paid player. No way he deserves that. Vini's latest request in Real Madrid talks is revealedhttps://t.co/8L2is7GiNt#LaLiga #RealMadrid— Football España (@footballespana_) June 14, 2025
Vinny’s current deal is though 2027. If we renew him until 2030 at the highest contract like he wants that means he will be 30 when it’s done. Im not sure if we want to be in the Vinny business at age 29/30.
