How You Like Me Now? - The Karim Benzema Thread

What an elegant and diplomatic statement from Benzema.

"My Real Madrid"




This guy was getting abused on here and mocked for what occurred with the France NT; something which wasn't his fault which he handled pretty well considering the situation. Some on here were legit defending La Graet; a known piece of shit that covered for pedophiles, sex assaults, etc... while condemning Benzema as being worse.

Legend.

 

lol, good one

 

That's cool that he said he wasn't saving himself for the WC but that means he's might be crocked considering how he's looked the entire season.

 

📲 Évra criticizes the French NT players for not having done anything to keep Benzema:

“We have the Ballon d'Or in our team. If I was still there, we would even have waited for Karim before eating. I didn't see anyone fight for him. I love you my brother.” 🇫🇷🤝 pic.twitter.com/MYU6IKa0de

Not surprising at all. I have experienced heavy veteran cultured team where even something like a team meal has order.

 

It's just good manners to wait until everybody arrives to order and wait until everybody has their food to eat, unless you know for sure somebody's not coming or only having dessert (and France seemed to be missing the cherry on top in the final).

 

Benzema signs on until 2024 it seems.

This should be the last renewal.

 

Wait and see. The team is misfiring. He seemed fine vs. Barcelona. Not superhuman.

 

Team is collectively playing like they have academic tenure right now.

 

So Now you’re gonna run a smear campaign on Evra since he took Benzema’s side and claimed France don’t value him enough.

Got it.

 

That tweet is definitely helping Benzema.

 

So if someone screwed up at a certain point in time, that person can never do any good ...your logic is as flawed as it gets.

 

Two things are different. Can’t dig up old cases to dismiss his stance in Benzema issue. You’re literally grasping at straws just to be a contrarian somehow.

 

So if Cassano changed his ways and became a fitness monster and knew everything about diet and exercise we shouldn't listen to him as at one point in his life he was the opposite. Yeah that logic doesn't make sense dude sorry.

 

This isn’t nonsense. This is about our main striker, the reigning balon d’Or winner and his unjustifiable insult coming from French NT. This is about racism / disrespectful treatment of the legends of the game and this is still a serious issue.

 

I still have a hard time believing the Benzema thing is due to racism or systemic discrimination. Almost the whole team is African immigrants including the star player, there's simply no way you can make a legit, logical claim the Karim is being singled out because of his African heritage.

I do think that certain players preferred that he wasn't part of the team which might include one spoiled brat that half the forum has been drooling over incessantly for years now.

Evra can say whatever he wants, @4x4s can point out the hypocracy - at the end of the day nobody outside of the FFF has any standing to do anything about it and the best thing KB9 and Real Madrid can do is win. That's how you show they were wrong to exclude him because as long as he continues not performing and is hobbling around the pitch, the more it looks like the right decision was made whatever the reasons.
