Real Madrid's new stadium is a game-changer.

It includes a fully retractable pitch that can be stored beneath the stadium with the push of a button.

The storage space includes ventilation, air conditioning, irrigation systems, LED lighting, control cameras, and ultraviolet… pic.twitter.com/lGnKpeOM0Y

It's the offseason, but I thought this was really interesting. Maybe I missed it before?

Imagine the absolute unit of a stadium Fake Madrids planning in their evil lair right now.

Would be great for a domed baseball stadium.

Fish · 04-18-2024, 01:52 PM

Sure, but where would we park though?

Real Madrid is probably the world's most famous sports team. Or Manchester United. Both teams play in ancient stadiums. Much older than Arrowhead. Real Madrid's stadium has changed so much over the years, it looks more like a modern NFL stadium than a stadium built in the 1940s.

What's this "we" shit?

Zach just creamed in his size 46 waist pantaloons.

Obligatory "soccer is gay" comment.

We also need the one of the guy who flopped and then rolled over and over and over for about 30 yards.

Flopping is awful but it does seem to be something you see mostly in Spanish and Latin American leagues/teams. The Premier League, for instance, isn't really that bad about it. They play pretty physical.

But Brazil is, without question, the absolute worst. Even as an extremely casual 'fan' (i.e. I watch it because my kids play it and sometimes they want to watch it), it's easy to see it. Brazil and Mexico are the worst offenders and then there are several other South American squads that aren't as bad but still awfully bad. Spain and Portugal probably next.

Italian and French teams take a bit of heat for it but i really don't think they're too bad. English and German teams don't do it much at all. Americans do it a bit, but nowhere near as egregiously.

Ultimately I think diving is largely cultural. If someone told me they had academies for it at an early age in Brazil, I'd absolutely believe them. I truly believe they celebrate it. And the frustrating part about Brazil is they don't have any sort of talent gap they're trying to close. When Nigeria does it, they're doing it to try to close a gap between them and their opponent - the soccer version of 'uglying up the game' so you can steal one.

But when Brazil does it, it's just them being monumental pussies. Because they are, in fact, monumental pussies.

Hello again Lackey. You said you had me on ignore. FYI I don't respond to corporate bootlickers any more. Feel free to reply to this by calling me a 3 toothed limey or whatever other cliché that pops into that hollow head of yours. All the best.

Here's a little secret about having someone on ignore. You can choose to see there post by clicking on "view post." I figured you had something stupid to say in a soccer thread so I decided to click and read your stupidity.

By the way, you realize you broke the bolded part of your post as you were typing it. ****ing dumbass.

Cool concept. Though I can’t imagine a single US venue where it makes nearly as much sense. A place like Madrid hosts a soccer team that plays a lot of home games that can legit sell this stadium out on the reg, walkable (sorry ny and cali), and concerts and events that can routinely sell the place out.

That shit field in Mexico we played on is proof that stadiums by and large are ill equipped for this shit.
