He was not a racist, he was imitating Speed himself, the campaign against Argentina disgusts me and makes me rot, and worse, if he was a “racist” he should blame him, he is in EVERY game breaking his balls against Argentina, what are we going to tell him? i love you https://t.co/hI90PVIRBT pic.twitter.com/5xtQlbdiGs
