And even captained it

OFC, since Spanish regulations can cancel your player license if you REFUSE to play for Spanish national team. You could explain it all, but as a dirty Spaniard you have to lie out of your ass...

And if he were, he would never ACCEPT.

Be careful giving people history lessons. You made interesting points until your last sentence… Do latin American have a right to be justifiably bitter? You mention choice: What about the conquistadors? Did they have a choice to not annihilate a race of people? Perhaps the writer of this video should do his next video on how the Spanish destroyed and created genocide for millions of people. Just as you state Catalans had a choice, you also have a choice not to be bitter. There is no such thing as justified bitterness. It is the sign of someone who is not mature enough to understand the workings of his/her own mind. Unclench the hatred that you imprisoned yourself and let it go. Why carry on the bitterness of previous generations. You do have a choice! BTW - I’m half Spanish and Peruvian but living in catalunya but raised in Australia.

@@edniembro1309 Latin Americans are Masters of self-pity and self-righteousness.

@edniembro1309 I stand by what I wrote. You didn't offer anything that was compelling. Pep deserves the hate. I gave the real factual reasons behind the hate, and you stick up for someone like him. A person who benefited financially from the national team to then talk shit about the country that put money in his pocket. The thesis of the video is about a very rich man being ineligible for a job. So, it shouldn't be anything too high on the priority list.

@@shonehi546tim9 Can you go into more detail about why Pep is a traitor who "spit in the eyes of Spaniards". Did he levy for Catalan Independence? What did he do that contradicted his grandparents who voted against Independence? I'm out of the loop on what voting choices he made, let me know.

The hell, Luis Enrique is from Asturias and his football career was molded in Mareo (Sporting de Gijón academy), back in the day one of the most modern in the world.

@@08Rolling man for a decade I believed he was home grown Catalonia talent but seems that you're right, can't even remember where I picked that from honestly.

@@fletcherchristian6411 I've been following Luis closely ever since he joined psg I'll say he's been the best psg coach in the modern area (did as well as touchle even though he had a way worse squad.) so I would say he's pretty smart as a coach. Fascinating that he played for both RMA and FCB but judging by his goal celebration against the former in the 90s he definitely loved the latter more. I guess he was really just a Spanish guy caught up in the whole Madrid vs Catalonia thing. Though he DID start his managerial career with barca B so that's probably where my misconception about him being a full on Catalonian started.

@@robthewells7182 He was not "just a Spanish guy caught up". LE as same as Cruyff, really loves and respects us Catalans. His wife is in fact Catalan. His kind words towards Catalan people have cost him some hate from Spaniards.

no

​@@pompeurare you from catalonia ? if not then your comment doesn't matter

All these independence talks are bullshit you can barely survive in the modern time economy without proper governing body and association

You are probably right.

Well, that's directly a lie. The pro-independence sentiment in Catalonia is much more than a 'minority'. If you live in Catalonia, you know this perfectly well. According to the Centre d’Estudis d’Opinió (CEO), in 2024, 42% of the population supported independence. In 2017, with the 'referendum', it reached 49%. To keep Catalonia as a "autonomous community", it's still the winning position. But to say that 40% of Catalonians opinions is a 'minority' is savage.

Because some people are idiots. Most people in Cataluña don't want that and are normal spanish

there's historical reasons but the main point is culture, language and managing our own resources

@@pompeur How would look a catalonian football selection??

@@pompeur Your "own resources" are the resources of Spain. The culture is as unique as others from other parts of Spain. The language is just a dialect of Spanish that the authoritarian regional authorities are trying to inject into the kids' brains in schools by amongst other things prohibiting teaching the Spanish language, which is the official language of Spain and one of the two official languages in Catalonia, together with the Catalan. Así que, deja de contar mentiras en comentarios que te va a crecer la nariz. Hala, a seguir sonando.

Its really started around 1992 olympics, and jordi Pujol massive corruption. Independence wasnt really the agenda, but when they saw the dangers they started that path, allecturing in schools to youngsters and hoping with independence, law and justice wouldnt get them. Now we have Pugdemont in Belgium cowardly fleeying from justice for years and many youngsters brainwashed for their corruption for an imaginary country that will never happen.

Historically speaking, the Castilians have been the traitors. No one of the different Realms/Crowns would have united if they knew what Castile truly wanted through treason.

Still spanish

@@JOKERATM I never said he wasn't

@@JOKERATM No we don't.

These people's careers were born out of Catalonia. Messi is Argentinian.

⁠@@SAMUTHESAMBABALLnot anymore than these people’s careers were born out of Spain because Catalonia is part of Spain. There are many regions in Spain with their own identity.

@@SAMUTHESAMBABALLMessi & Iniesta arrived to FCB when they were 12 years old… Picasso left Andalucía when he was 8 years old and moved to Galicia. When he was 12 years old he arrived to Barcelona where he lived until he was 22 ….it’s risky to say that they started their career out of Catalonia…

Messi & Iniesta arrived to FCB when they were 12 years old… it's risky to say that they started their career out of Catalonia…Picasso is Andalusian, at the age of nine he went to Galicia and at the age of 12 he arrived in Barcelona where he lived until he was 22 when he left for Paris... it is foolish not to recognize the Catalan influence in all of their careers

​@@user-kb3nx5si7nNacieron en España y se trasladaron a Cataluña. Messi no se considera ni catalán ni español. El es Argentino. Otra cosa es que ame a Cataluña, España.

Well, better informed than what you are.

Nice catch! I don't know much about art. Thanks for watching

From separatists

@@JOKERATM From Castilian invaders.

Wow thanks for subscribing. I'm surprised you picked that up!

he said he’d love to coach england

Awesome! Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching!

They weren’t allowed to join Asia which is why that the OFC exists.

@@jacklang3314 That's still messed up ☠️

@@FlamingBasketballClub I'm well aware that it's messed up.

It's basically maths anyway with that score line

Thanks! 🙏

Bc it there is 46 teams now and also it wouldn't be fair for ofc nation's to not get participation

Hey! Thanks for watching. Good call, the Kingz weren't part of the A-League (wasn't established yet). The majority of the teams in the NSL were also semi-professional. The Knights were definitely a reboot of the Kingz franchise though!

@@SAMUTHESAMBABALL I seem to remember some controversy about the kingz and how they used the club like a Christian fundamentalist missionary organization. Wynton Rufer who was one of the main driving forces behind the club, even had a job coaching an NZ youth team and the players walked out because he was such a POS demanding they pray and accept Jesus etc.

Appreciate it! Fingers crossed for your friend 🤞

Under the old system there were 5 African spots, 5 Asian spots, and half an Oceanid spot. I've always thought they should redraw the regions into East Asia-Pacific, West Asia plus the Arabic North African countries, then sub Sahara Africa. Give three spots to each and on a merit basis allocate one extra spot to the best performing confederation each cycle, and the other half spot to the second best performing.
