7ft4 former basket ball player plays for some minor club somewhere. He is sh1t. The Modeen of world football, not one touch.
*Modeen is an influencer with a few rocks loose. He is famous in the influencer boxing circuit for not being able to throw punch. I have included Modeen match, where he lost. At the end of one of the rounds he tells his coach, he is afraid Wakey Wines guy will punch him

This is certainly one, of several, factors to why we’re off this season.

Virgil van Dijk described the death of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva in July as a devastating experience for the squad:

"The loss of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva in July was something none of us could ever have prepared for, and something all of us are still coming to terms with."
 
Its not an excuse. Its one of many factors to why we’re off.

And playing football at that level is a lot more stressful than any crap reguler job.

Yeah. Tell that to a nurse doing double shifts over Crimbo so that her single mum colleague can spend time with her kids or to a paramedic who's on his last legs because he's got to clean his ambulance car of vomit for the third time in between saving lives of drunk car drivers not knowing if they're able to pay their mortgages next month. By the way, they'd all get ONE extra day off for the funeral if their parent dies - at least that's the law here. For a guy from work you'd have to chalk a day off from your yearly vacation days.


I bet it's really more stressful to pick the colour of your fifth Lambo or whether your next Rolex is gold or platinum.
 
Don't get me wrong. My best friend died at 19 and I was depressed for a year and kinda disappeared into a hole. I can well believe it makes a difference. But it also motivated me to do something with my life and not waste it. I don't reckon it's not gonna affect them on the day to day, but I also reckon all those new plAyers makes it more tough because they aren't trying to win for him

You had to pick one of the most stressful jobs that excist to try and prove your point.
It’s only valid for 0,8% of the Worlds population though. And it’s a given that it’s very stressful.

It’s quite clear that being a professional footballer is extremely stressful. The money side of it is a small part. Performing infront of millions of people. Every part of your life scrutinized in social media. Every mistake you make will be on every platform, everywhere. Not being able to go anywhere you like without being in the spotlight.
I’d liked to see you try and then come back and say it’s fucking easy.

How people grieve and how they process sorrow is very individually.
It’s not an excuse but it’s quite obvious a factor. Might be small, but a factor.
Seeing as they operate in an elite environment (or just a regular job according to Holle), it’s quite clear that just a few percentages reduced of your usual top level will have a negative impact.
Sports at that level are decided on fine margins.
 
You can certainly see why some might not want to give that extra 10% that can make the difference between winning and losing. Lots more important things in life.

Haha yeah right. That isn't even close to true. Worried about rent, utilities, birthday/Xmas presents, children's clothing and shoes, food prices and putting food on the table et al. Well paid footballers have a different type of stress, but it doesn't even come close to that of people fighting for a living and to provide for their families, as none of the above is of any concern to them.

50% of the world lives in poverty. I doubt most people realise that most of us typing away on forums are in the 1% of the lucky few.

The average income for a Premier League (PL) footballer is substantial, often cited around £3 million annually or £250,000 monthly, but this figure masks huge disparities; top earners make £10M+ yearly, while some squad players earn £1M-£3M, with wages rising due to massive TV deals and global popularity

---

About one in ten people globally (around 10%) live in extreme poverty (less than ~$2.15/day), but if we consider broader definitions of poverty relevant to middle-income nations, nearly half the world's population lives on less than $8.30/day, while around a quarter (24%) lives on less than $5/day, showing high levels of relative deprivation even beyond extreme poverty.

Key Figures & Definitions:
  • Extreme Poverty: Around 8.5% to 9% (roughly 700 million people) live below the $2.15/day line, though this figure fluctuates with crises like COVID-19.

  • Broader Poverty Lines (World Bank):
    • Lower-Middle Income: Nearly 1 in 5 people (around 20%) live on less than $4.20/day.
    • Upper-Middle Income: Almost half the world (around 44-50%) lives on less than $8.30/day.
  • Relative Poverty (More Broad):
    • Around 24% of the world lives on less than $5 a day.
    • Over half (52%) lives on less than $10 a day.
In Summary: While extreme poverty affects a smaller percentage, a large portion of the world lives with significant financial insecurity, with nearly half struggling on less than $8.30 daily, highlighting deep global inequality.
