feeling the need to log another entry about this match: while i understand the action taken by the administration of bookd to moderate the chat mostly around israel, i would be remiss to not say something (serious, i’ve made plenty of jokes). football is inherently political. israel is committing a genocide. criticizing israel is not antisemitism. joking about israel and their inability to do anything but slaughter children is not antisemitism. while antisemitism does exist around the topic, i don’t agree fully with the decision to potentially lock all chats involving israel. i’m palestinian, living in america. i am only writing this whilst sitting on my couch in detroit because of geographical luck and the sacrifices of my family throughout generations. there are thousands of children and young people who do not and will not ever have this luxury. there are thousands of children throughout palestine and the greater levant who had their dreams stolen, either by amputation or death; dreams as small as one day playing football with their friends on a pitch without the threat of bombs or snipers. i think of these children every time i’m watching a match or talking to my friends about the game or in the stands. they deserved to live as we do. obviously, it’s not that serious here. this is a football app. however, i think shutting down everything around the discussion of israel and their football team is wrong and sends a strange message. again— rationally, i understand the decision. however, i cannot support what feels like a blind deflection of the responsibility that comes with handling this sort of subject matter. shoutout toni and olivia for all they do, but free palestine till it’s backwards. israel is committing a genocide, and we cannot let anyone forget or turn a blind eye to it. 🇵🇸 (forgive any strange wording here, i’m a bit fired up)

Alejandro José Hernández Hernández born on the 10th of November 1982 has been a professional referee on the highest level since 2012 and is a full international referee since 2014, while he was somehow voted as best by the Spanish Fa’s technical committee in 2017 (genuinely god knows how). He was only allowed one game in the groups last world cup (this is a sign hes not great). A man that has always been front and center for refereeing mistakes in Spain, yet he still gets these kind of games. Today he showcased why modern day referees are nothing more than a sack of meat, lacking a spine, and more importantly lacking any sort of intelligence, let alone the knowledge required for the beautiful game. Disallowing the first goal in the game because Brobbey is literally just standing there is unbelievable, he hinders no one and has no part in the play, so it is mind boggling that he and his colleagues come to the conclusion it should not be allowed. The second goal is, somehow, even worse. A scrimmage in the box, with multiple Germans jumping on the ball like its a grenade (illegal btw you cant just lay on the ball), and Netherlands gets punished for it, but the funny part? We scored despite them breaking the rules, there was no foul, there was nothing that the referee could argue we did wrong, we got the ball after the filthy Germans fucked it up, we scored, and got punished. Besides goals his card game was off too; for example a yellow for a incredibly reckless - and in my opinion a red card foul - challenge that made Dumfries furious, so of course, Dumfries got a yellow, same punishment, verryyyyy different intents. I hope Alejandro José Hernández Hernández is happy with his performance and more importantly lack of extra funds on his bank account because despite all that he still failed lmao, we shouldve won and wouldve won with any other referee, but ill take a point with this fucked up ref.
