Yeah I don't get it. If Suarez or Alba were to do it, we would be going on about how they were cunts but they were our cunts and whatever the fuck else people were saying when Suarez handballed Ghana's goal attempt in 2010. Shit, I would have probably brought Morata down earlier to make sure the free kick attempt wasn't as dangerous.

Most people don't, but no idea why, they don't seem to have an issue with what Valverde did. Valverde could have injured Morata, Suarez didn't hurt anyone. I don't remember Suarez claiming he didn't touch the ball with his hands or complaining about the red, he just took it but yet he is hated for it.

Imagine if it was a World Cup game tied near the end of extra time. Stripes only get a FK instead of a breakaway of a penalty kick. They don't score, then white only had to play down a man for two minutes, then it goes to a shootout and white wins. IIRC, something like that literally happened in a USA / Japan women's World Cup FINAL.

Hala Madrid! Fede Valverde's tackle on Morata that won Real Madrid the SuperCopa trophy. Had Marcelo done this to Sergi Roberto, we would've never had to see that Messi celebration. He did the "ole" out of the way instead of going 2 feet in.

«Não teria chegado aquela bola, não fazia falta, rezava para que o Morata falhasse o remate» I wouldn't have reached that ball, (this part is either "it wouldn't be necesary" or "I wouldn't make the foul"), I prayed Morata would have fail that shot.It's a bit ambiguous, but I didn't watch the interview.
