Rodri charged by UEFA over Gibraltar chant

[Gazza]

This is a bit of over-reach by UEFA, if it had happened during a match or even in the interview afterwards, then ok, but to express a political opinion away from the match environment has absolutely nothing to do with them.

Is the Falkland’s Argentinian then ?

Not if the people who live there want to be British, but if the Argentinians want to sing a sing about the Falklands being Argentinian, would you care?

How ridiculous.
We'll get Trent Alexander miming our National Anthem next.

...or Cueta and Melilla are Moroccan

Or Liverpool is English ;)

Starts as a feeling, then a song, then a movement, then a political will, then as an attack for glory. That results in armed forces personnel burning to death (on both sides).
Songs DO matter.

International Spain isn't a city.

So it’s an international issue - which won’t mean he’ll get a personal ban from all football?
Ps - Spain is a country is it? -:)

Meanwhile. Darwin Nunez will not be punished for going into the crowd fighting fans and throwing a chair into the crowd. It’s all a joke

Exactly

Genuinely shocked anyone cares this much about Gibraltar in 2024

It’s a British Overseas Territory so it’s our responsibility. If they want to declare independence then they can and we can forget about them but they won’t so it’s where we are.
