Orsato officiating a match of Argentina... Yeah, we stood no chance.

 

Argentina did deserve to win based on chances alone, but by the same token, this match was largely decided by the most outrageous penalty kick and the careless goal that followed in our typical fashion. Livaković was *defending*, and the collision was caused by his leg which was planted in place like 2 meters ahead of any contact. Conveniently, but unsurprisingly inconsistent in the age of VAR, this was never questioned.

so, it was not a penalty for you?

And the Antilles

 

To relate this to sports: Antilles you mostly see in athletics or baseball, while Suriname you see significantly more in things like kickboxing, where the world was dominated for years by Suriname-Dutch athletes like Tyrone Spong, Ernesto Hoost, Remy Bonjasky etc.

 

In football...there isn't really anything specific, as far as it's important (which it of course isn't).

Ruud Gullit, Frank Rijkaard had Surinamese fathers. Also Bryan Roy, Aron Winter, Patrick Kluivert, Edgar Davids, Clarence Seedorf came from Suriname

There is no quota in pt obviously, and I remember when the first black players started to appear in the national team, I think in early 2000s, many people got racist about it, as in “what is this team? Angola or Cape Verde?”

 

which I always found ironic because before Ronaldo our most iconic football player is someone black that was not even from Portugal (Eusebio, from Mozambique, which was Portuguese at that time but let’s be real, it was a colony), and people loved (and love) him like a god (he’s buried in our “heroes temple” in Lisbon together with kings and navigators).

 

I think this is also because although we have a big black community, they’re concentrated in suburbs of Lisbon alone mostly (in my home town actually) so the rest of the country still finds it difficult to see it as normal.

 

but I have to recognize that nowadays is much better, there are still those racism dudes , but less than before, I think.

eusebio has also been described  as "the european Pele"
