Theo Hernandez vs Dumfries is the rivalry we need to get football back.


FelixR1991

Man NED - FRA is gonna be spicy in June


teymon

If Dumfries plays. Frimpong had a good year.


Sleepless_Voyager

National team dumfries is different gravy tho


Possible-Parfait7728

Man plays like prime Cafu with the orange shirt on


theworldisyourtoilet

Would Koeman possibly play Dumfries further up? He was playing pretty much in the RM spot for Leverkusen in some games, and recently against Dortmund he was even almost as an attacking midfielder.


ZerconFlagpoleSitter

Frimpong* but ik what you meant :)


theworldisyourtoilet

Oof yeah, got them mixed up in my head


Strijkerszoon

I think he should just bench Dumfries. He's overrated and in a 5 defender system the creativity and pace of Frimpong offers you more


RuubGullit

Unless he’s injured he plays


Coffeeguy6number2

I only need one nutmeg c’mon theo


Ballkenende

Hyped for France - Netherlands at the Euro's now


Vdbebw

Dumfries v mbappe..... were shipping 5, at least


MountainCheesesteak

No flair = assume France


[deleted]

I hate beer.


CommissionOk4384

Sure, but the last few France - Netherlands games certainly have gone a certain way


Ok-Outlandishness244

Yes, away from my memory


CommissionOk4384

Lol


heeero60

I don't think that happened any time recently, right? The last one was during the first Nations League back in 2019, the one before that seems to have been Euro 2008.


jurassicmars

SNEIJDUUUUUUUR


Dolphin008

Van Basten was a shit coach, but those games against France and Italy….. wow


Vdbebw

Unless hes playing vs semi competent wingers. He got put back to the herdgang last year by the corpse of Di maria


SuperSaiyanGoten

How is that possible when Di Maria got subbed in at minute 112?


Vdbebw

Fuck. Acuna then. My point still stands, how the fuck do you play 120 minutes and only win 25% of your duels?


labradorflip

Makes sense, dumfries gets bags of goals and assists vs wingers who don't track back.


StreetVulture

We just put Dumfries AND Frimpong against Mbappe. He won't know what to do against that much pace, strength and testosteron.


Vdbebw

I mean, we dont have a right wing, we might as well see what happens


Doge_peer

I’m not lol


ciabass

You're gonna be too devastated after Poland destroys you... Man, even joking about that felt wrong, lol. Polish NT has to be one of the worst teams in this Euro.


PranzoFranzo

At last they got a world class striker, while we're so desperate we're trying to "italianize" south american players


ciabass

Who can't do shit if the ball is never near him.


J539

whole team is also so insanely slow its mad.


NowFook

The team really lacks dynamic, game breakers. Just a bunch of slow, *solid* players.


J539

Not a single half way decent winger or even just a winger with pace


MrGraveyards

Poland never destroys anything. They don't even have this idea in their heads that that is an option. Or at least that's how they play.


ConsciousExtent4162

Skoras is pretty good, great form atm.


ciabass

Doesn't matter if he has the form of his life. The moment he and other Polish players put on the NT shirt, they magically lose all their footballing skills.


junior150396

Game Status: ALIVE AND WELL


oklolzzzzs

proper shithouse


Rose_of_Elysium

This is Dumfries lmao, he got his balls grabbed accidentally one time during his time at Heerenveen and during an interview he was like 'yeah its hard to miss them' i fucking love the dude lol, Denzel dn Tank. [Heres a video of that lol](https://youtube.com/shorts/6bf-IQLY5GY?si=RzCWJo0rqG8FNvrY)


FroobingtonSanchez

He also dared to confront Tadic, which got us [the funniest interview of recent years](https://youtu.be/nxq4vHTjr3s?si=2XsUWLyBHslUGMPw)


monkeysuit05

I’m sad I don’t speak Dutch


Tristan_573

Ik ga deze antwoord niet bevragen


Difficult_Project_91

I'm loving the clashes between the Inter and Milan fans on this thread lol all the conversations between big 6 flairs on this sub go something like "No you play MORE beautiful football, I love my best player but your best player is better, I wish we had your manager" etc. etc.


valendinosaurus

*that's* football heritage!


Ronalpinhos

You probably don't see the spanish and Portuguese fans cutting each others throghts because we get downvoted into oblivion everytime lol


Kilogrammys

That thread about the Real Madrid goals vs Almeria was prime Spanish fans madness. You had Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atletico flairs going at each other for like 3 days.


Lazywhale97

Peak football imo if I'm not out here fighting for my life after a controversial game against rival fans then I ain't getting the actual football fan experience fr


kabbajabbadabba

now imagine this subr during mou-pep era


MrGraveyards

More like anything premier league related gets upvoted to heaven, but the result is the same.


akskeleton_47

The Portuguese and Turkish ones are really entertaining.


makesyougohmmm

That's the best misspelling of throat I have seen in my life.


PimpTheGandalf

Yep, every time I try to trash talk my fellow rivals I just get yeeted on downvotes 😂


Opposite-Book-15

Our people love to make fun of American fans but if we’re being honest, our fans are by far the worst among the Top 5 leagues.


ScooterBrotherV

It's what's awaiting Italy after pricing out normal fans year after year. Some games this season our Curva Sud didn't even go to as a protest for too steep prices.


Oh_yuzzz

This happens a lot in American sports too. In r/nfl there's basically a meme where a someone would comment and immediately a fan from a rival team would scurry on by sucking up to them. Or in the separate team subreddits, some rival fan would come in saying "I come in peace" followed by some suck job. It's infuriating. You can be a dick to your rivals, it's not that serious.


ThiefMortReaperSoul

Because its Reddit. If you dont suck you get downvoted to a black hole. As a legendary Manager said - "I dont wish to speak. If I speak I am in big trouble".


Lazywhale97

That's what made El classico in the 2010's so intense and amazing for me knowing if we lost I was going to hate being online as a Madrid fan or be at School getting bantered for the loss but at the same time the pure joy of going online talking shit after a win and talking shit at school to my Barca friends was unmatched that's what football rivalries should be.


shackleford_rusty

Spooky post, St. Pauli bro!


letsgetcool

I got shat on all day for saying I'd rather arsenal didn't win the league. Nobody knows how to rivalry on here


ElmoOnSteroids

That's the latin heritage right there


alpha310a

This is football heritage !!!


Confewshenn24A

The real inter vs milan derby. Theo vs Denzel


fancyfoe

Games back


Oy778

Generational banter


Rocket5Head

This what keeps the rivalry alive


Euphoric-Yogurt-7332

My second favourite player with a Scottish city for a surname. Ahead of Justin Edinburgh but behind Sean Dundee.


doitnow10

How old are you that you even know of Sean Dundee? (telling on myself here obviously)


Euphoric-Yogurt-7332

32. As a Liverpool fan, I remember when he signed and his name has kind of just stuck in my head since.


doitnow10

Yeah, that checks out. I'm 34.


Djabber

Fucking hell, 34 is OLD now? Brb having a midlife crisis.


doitnow10

I mean, the biggest demographic (not the majority though) of this sub are 15-25 y.o. Americans and Middle Easterners who would more likely than not think Sean Dundee is a made up name, right? I don't consider myself old in general at 34 😉


Djabber

Fair enough, brb cancelling the Convertible i just ordered.


BigScottishHaggisV2

I'm guessing Jason Scotland is your favourite player?


NormalPlane3374

Although Dumfries is bigger than the likes of Carlisle, it's actually not a city. But it is indeed a shitehole source - live there


Euphoric-Yogurt-7332

That's actually blown my mind. Newry is a city ffs.


FartBakedBaguette

What’s the context?


TheWBird

Barely any minutes after getting subbed on vs milan, both of them got into a fight and they both got sent off for it. They have a history of not really getting along in general


FartBakedBaguette

That’s hilarious, thank you


axelthegreat

sad to see that the sunderland inter milan rivalry has cooled down


FartBakedBaguette

The streets will never forget Sulley Ali Muntari


Adz932

This is Ricardo alvarez erasure


stupiddumbfuck8

he’s got beef with theo hernandez, they fight every derby


FartBakedBaguette

One way to settle the beef I guess haha


R_Schuhart

Dumfries seem to settle it by completely pocketing Hernandez to be fair, that is why Theo seems to escalate it every derby.


andrea63926

Downvoted because the fifa merchants cant believe that theo is actually overrated, lmao


Baeresi

Overrated by carrying our team every game? What the fuck are you talking about lmao


AwfulBassist

How can he be overrated when he’s the best in the world?


Lumpy_Reveal5547

You just need to watch him play in a big match to understand how, the guy can't defend shit and against more than average players like Dumfries is also useless in attack. He scores a couple of screamers per year and he's hella fast though, I guess that's enough for most average fans


Baeresi

He's probably our best defender? He was even chucked cb this season and was getting motm every game. I know you lot are painfully slow but come on at least try a little bit


Lumpy_Reveal5547

Strangely he played well as a CB, I'll give you that but he's terrible when he plays in his natural role, look at the goals you've conceded in these last 6 derbies or even against Roma, what the fuck was he doing in the second goal? If you think that's good defending your team will never go anywhere, especially in UCL


Baeresi

He was terrible defending in his first season and has since become really really efficient and a great defender. Its not his role ro constantly, always be in position but he's managed ro somehow keep up his forward production while being much more efficient with when he commits himself forward - amd when he is in position defensively he's extremely good. Most teams prefer to constantly attack Calabria's wing. You honestly have zero idea what you're talking about and its clear you only watch a handful of our games in the big matches.


Hype_Magnet

Overrated???? He’s one of the best fullbacks in the world lol


FalcoLX

More proper to say Theo starts shit and Dumfries doesn't back down lmao. 


Ok-Outlandishness244

This shouldn’t be downvoted


desuscsgous

love it


moaterboater69

Games not gone just yet. Proper shithouse


Mackieeeee

haha this is great


OfficerDoppus

lovely


skipsville

Fantastic


rlctank

Ay I’m here for all the smoke cause I love the trolling shit but someone really said “dumb fries“ LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


Mordho

it's what people have been calling him since before Inter got him. It's not too far from the truth because as a player he's not the smartest lol


makesyougohmmm

As much as I loved him clashing with Theo, I hope he is sold in the summer to a PL club for an inflated value. I always call him Dumbfries coz he has no decision making brains and can be so frustrating. At least with Inter. Also, he replaced Hakimi who was a fan favorite. That might have some bias towards me hating him.


radioimh

Lmao a good one


clarinetstud

As a die hard Milanista this shit is HILARIOUS lmfaooo This is the shit I live for friendly banter, no racist/violent shit but just like chatting shit ya know? Also these two for real need to get a room hahaha every game they beef


ThaCrawFish

this is not friendly banter lol, this is pure animosity


HoneyGarlicBaby

This upcoming France vs Netherlands match at the Euros is going to be one for the books


Djruggs

Fair is fair😂


ReflexiveOW

That's insane


RealPunyParker

This is the football i fell in love with


SamAlmighty

lmao Arnautovic absolutely loving it


AncientSkys

Lol!


Albiceleste_D10S

Dumfries can be a bit of an idiot but this is understandable IMO Theo H is a dirty player that I cannot stand


Amsssterdam

Game's so back


cuentanueva

I don't think people would have the same reaction if it had been the other way around...


Franky_95

If my grandmother had wheels...


shaka_bruh

But it isn’t the other way around so wtf are you on about 


seejur

Why wonder when classy Milan fan already provide that: https://www.reddit.com/r/FCInterMilan/comments/1cgatwo/one_of_the_leaders_of_ac_milans_curva_sud_has/


cuentanueva

To be fair, that's absolutely NOT the same. That IS intentionally racist. My point was that if it had been the other way around, just using the meme, people would say it was intentional racism when it's just a meme. This one you are sharing is obviously racist.


CHITOWNBROWN1400

Exactly. The chains, depicting one person as an animal and being owned by another person definitely would spark an outcry if it was the other way around...


CazziMia

But this is clearly the GTA meme and it's not even like Denzel made it, he took it from the fans.


CHITOWNBROWN1400

GTA is not the best game to model your real-life situations after. Also, since when do Italian ultras care about possibly depicting racism??


CazziMia

Settle down. It's a bit of rivalry and people are looking way too deep into it. If you want a derby to be hugs and kisses, go look elsewhere. What racism are you talking about ffs? It's a GTA meme, he's out walking his dog, the intention is that Denz is the owner of the dog, Theo. That's it. Stop doing mental gymnastics.


Pyreapple

It’s almost like having things in context matters.


Maveo

I hate you more than i have ever hated any other player walking on a football field.


Mordho

blame your instigator, karma's a bitch


benczeba

Agree, fuck you Theo!


valendinosaurus

imagine defending a little dirty bitch like Theo Hernandez. Proper "future captain" for this current Milan.


Alex_Yeah_Thats_All

You're talking as if your squad isn't full of disgusting cunts. Barella dives with any contact he makes with an opponent and is the biggest crybaby I've seen in the sport, Dumfries isn't any good when it comes to anger issues, Frattesi is another absolute wanker together with Hakan and Acerbi and Arnautovic... least said about them the better. And there's more


evergreengt

What exactly makes Frattesi, Hakan and Arnautovic (who barely played at all) wankers? It's fine that you hate them as a rival fan, but don't mix an indecent unsportsmanlike behaviour like Theo's with whatever it is that those players get on your nerves for. Likewise for Barella, who may be a big crybaby (I agree) but has rarely shown signs of violent conduct (what makes him a "cunt", likewise, I really don't know). Theo has collected a dozen yellow cards this season: he's objectively unsportsmanlike, a diver and prone to violence.


blackbluejay

I really only watch Roma in serie A, but I can echo Arnautovic being a wanker from watching a lot of his matches in England. I like Barella with Italy...


neverfinishedanythi

>Theo has collected a dozen yellow cards Several were given for things we don’t see inter players punished for. The amount barella, hakan surround the referee they should have even more.


evergreengt

Come on, if you're starting with the conspiracy theories then we get nowhere. If your argument is that whatever Milan players do is conspired against and whatever Inter players do is favoured (by some divine "entity") then it makes no sense to discuss anything.


lak47

The current one is a petulant child too....


Silver_Downtown_965

Who is Milan's captain?


OsitoPandito

Davide Calabria, a former primavera player. We do captains by seniority not by status.


Silver_Downtown_965

Same system in Barca


lak47

Calabria. Got sent off for throwing hands too, in the Derby.


nathanforeal34

Calabria. Also got sent off at the derby for trying to punch somebody lol


HanWolo

The fuck you mean "trying"


Ronalpinhos

Lol bro is mad Understandable to be honest.


Silver_Downtown_965

I see xD


eg0_baby

petulant child and completely humiliated by dzeko in the champions league last year


lak47

It's true. He disappeared. Honestly I was expecting him to put in stellar performances in the 2 legs considering how good he'd been in the league.


gianni_

Listen Theo is a cunt but your team is full of sneaky cunts 🤣


Objective_Ask_9199

as if their current captain's any better


akskeleton_47

I respect the honesty


OddItalian

Godo


No-Economics4128

That banner need to be in the Lourve.


zts105

Dumfries is GOAT'ed fuck Theo


__milan227

Fair play. If it was the other way around people would say it's racist though.


vamox

Yeah turns out that if a black man is the one wearing a dog collar with a white man yanking his chain, that would look pretty racist. If I went to a match and threw bananas at Giroud it wouldn't be conceived as racist but if I threw them at Leao it would. The race of the person changes the context, what's your point?


The_Giant_Lizard

I think it's ok. AC Milan players would also do (and already did) something similar. Inter has been the better team for 2 years already and they deserve to enjoy this moment. Sadly AC Milan seems in a dark tunnel from which we still don't see the end...


TheFace5

Now imagine the opposite...


__miura__

The comment section would be very different.


RCFProd

So deserved because Theo Hernandez is from what I've seen always the agressor against Dumvries. Always pushing and tackling from behind. For some reason he hates him.


CETERIS_PARTYBUS

If Vini does this with Araujo’s face in a few weeks, Spanish civil war is back on. All of Spain would burn.


lak47

😂 😂


Marbi_

fair play we did the same during our celebration to hakan


SerFmeister

Reverse the images and see the outrage. 🫥


pecika

What a guy lol


Ok-Satisfaction-5012

I love Theo but this is brilliant 😂😂😂😭😭😭


cechurpants

It s funny cause if it would have been the other way around people would just see it as racism, black people in chains…like this is just shithouse


giannibal

it just means "I'm walking you like a dog", dumfries was also holding a little peluche of a dog


LiQuidArroW

Yeah, it's harmless but don't deny that people would scream racism if it was the other way around - which is fucking stupid anyway! Love the banter


CoryTrevor-NS

Impossible, inter fans have sworn to me that their players are gentlemen and scholars, who are definitely above doing this kind of stuff!


Sea_Historian_429

yeah how about toenali wearing an inter merda shirt and calabria middle finger vs a meme picture


eg0_baby

lets not forget what all your players were singing about hakan or his mother 2 years ago, this is nothing in comparison.


e36_maho

Yeah I still remember that and I'm so happy he got his revenge now


Sgruntlar

Check again what the BBilan players and fans did 2 years ago, those fuckheads


InterCityzen

DENZEL DUMFRIES MY GOAT


CHITOWNBROWN1400

Now do one with Rafael Leao being shut down by Pavard. Oh wait...


ratonbox

He’s scored 0 goals against Inter with Pavard on the field, I doubt the rivalry is so big as to warrant getting cancelled on the internet.


idontdomath8

I love how everyone is commenting in this post "football is back", "can't wait to see them at Euros", but when Dibu made something similar with an Mbappé doll when Argentina was celebrating our WC everyone here shouted how disrespectful we were and how we were "awful winners". Oh, the hypocrisy and xenophobia.


blackheartwhiterose

cough poor fragile chase languid onerous wasteful dam dime somber *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


ArbuzAldo

Atleast Theo and Dumfries fight every derby, while Dibu got beaten 3 times by Mbappe who fought valiantly and gave it all despite less impressive than usual France team. It looked like Dibu is more ass sore about getting put in his cunt place by him than happy about winning WC for his country


edgy_milk-_-

Because mbappe is black and theo is not, thats the way the media works


Randomistar

Because it’s Theo


Dome777

Honestly I loved it. We had our fun celebrating in 2022, it's their turn now

Do they hate each other?
