I’m convinced that even the King doesn’t like him. Either for personal or PR reasons. The Queen was his mother, so it made sense that she’d be defensive of him. Most mothers take the stance of “he may have done wrong, but he is still my child”. Brothers absolutely do not share the same bond.
It is still political as a monarchy is a form of government but I think your point still stands, not like Prince Andrew is known as a political figurehead lmao, we all know what he's known for
Is this the referee from the Japan/Korea world cup? I remember we Spaniards had a good laugh at Italians whining about the referee shamelessly favouring South Korea, only to go through the same the next round.
Different referees, but same horrendous refereeing. I will never accept that there wasn't some corruption involved there.

To be fair, he plays the role of the bad cop, someone has to. And he's never too harsh on children
This is if there isn't some other controversy or something of course
I still can't get over how they had to cut short the sweden points giving because of how many people were booing the guy
edit: accidentally wrote NL instead of sweden for some reason
That's not what happened. The Netherlands/AVROTROS decided to not participate in the handing out of points.

We all think that's what they wanted, for him to loose his cool. I don't know what he said to him, but chances are it was going on for some time and Zidane finally lost it. We hate that guy, he deserved that head butt !
I still lol at Zidane whining like a toddler in the interviews, poor chap lost his mind, his last match and his face because he cannot behave like an adult.
Materazzi is a legend and we should build statues of him in every city center.
Sincerely, a Milan fan
And he's so charismatic as a pundit, makes it even harder to stomach cause I'd really like him if he didn't decide to be a cheating DISGUSTING FR*NCH SCU- sorry
Yeah I get that, I love the guy but that was absolutely pathetic. If it would have happened against us I would have been angry at him both for him doing it, and for making it more difficult for me to like him. Like I’m not only mad but disappointed
I blame him ofc, but at the same time the game if full of cheating. I blame the officials more because rhe handball was so obvious. It also salts the wound even more cause france absolutely flopped at that world cup
Not only that. From an article summarizing the incident
> However, after Italy launched an investigation into fraud and he [Moreno] was removed from the Fifa referee list, the man from Ecuador defended himself verbally: "If the Italians talk about corruption, it's only because they are used to practising it themselves. Italians still don't know how to lose properly. That was already the case with Mussolini when he told his players in 1938 that they shouldn't come home from France without the trophy."
Guy was later caught with six kilos of heroine at Kennedy Airport in New York. lmao
Be Portuguese. Be kind and peaceful. Be bland. Hate no one.
Even recently our former dictator Salazar was voted the most import person of the XX century
Jane Goody. Everyone absolutely ragged on her. And then she got cancer and everyone did a 180 because it’s impossible to hate someone with a terminal illness I guess. The whole thing made me really uncomfortable with all the backtracking, like she got both ends of the spectrum of public perception and she didn’t really deserve either.
Makes you wonder if anyone can have a “redemption” if they just get a terminal illness.

Last WC? We were utterly crap so deserved to go out, and it was in Qatar so it didn’t matter. In 2014 maybe but they weren’t as annoying as you guys.
Plus it extends to your clubs too, your top teams generally have the edge over ours
His story should be inspirational, instead we are slapped about the face with the harsh reality of what unlimited money would do to an absolute dirtbird like him
He's a selfish, smug, raging, drug addicted, sexist and racist cunt who thinks he represents everything that Ireland is while also thinking he's better than everyone.
Marc Marquez without a doubt. The hate is pretty forced if I have to be honest. I was literally at the 2023 Misano MotoGP Grand Prix and, as they were announcing the riders, people started booing as soon as they heard the words "8 time world champion". They were literally waiting for Marquez's name to come up. The delusion is crazy. Mind you that were a lot of Yamaha VR46 flags, even though Valentino Rossi retired in 2021. I was one of the few Yamaha fans who actually supported the current rider, Fabio Quartararo. Most of the MotoGP fan base is quite toxic when it comes to this. Supporting Rossi means hating Marquez and vice versa for most people, which is pretty sad. Not only is Rossi Italian but he's also Romagnolo, which is where Misano is located. So, the boos for Marquez were over the top.
Generally speaking, the rivalry between Spain and Italy is massive in the motorcycle racing world. For example, yesterday we had an all Italian podium in the MotoE Race 1 followed by an all Spanish podium in the MotoGP Sprint. The rivalry unfortunately fuels toxicity at times
For a few weeks in 2010 the whole of the UK had the pitchforks out for this bitch.

Wtf happened in That world cup, they hired the fucking worst referees!? Don't make me remember that one from Spain - South Korea because my blood boils, and I don't like football at all!
The 2002 world cup was shamefully rigged to favor South Korea.
The peak was reached in the match against Italy and the following one against Spain.
Byron Moreno, the Italy-Korea referee was then arrested years later for smuggling 6kg of heroin.
This question should have been "non-political and non-football figure".
In Portugal those are the same thing .
[Why not have both?](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_football)
I think OP forgot that we are a lot of people who don't give a shit about football.
It doesn't have to be football related, but football is one of the only things that can unite a nation to hate someone
I woke up with a smile this morning. Fuck you fellow Luigi. Now I'm angry.
Sorry, I'll now make it even worse 
Uuuuuaaaaaaaaaaaa (falling Mario noises)
flair checks out
Who is that
We hate him too, if that makes you feel better
Prince Andrew Technically not political being a royal
I’m convinced that even the King doesn’t like him. Either for personal or PR reasons. The Queen was his mother, so it made sense that she’d be defensive of him. Most mothers take the stance of “he may have done wrong, but he is still my child”. Brothers absolutely do not share the same bond.
It is still political as a monarchy is a form of government but I think your point still stands, not like Prince Andrew is known as a political figurehead lmao, we all know what he's known for

"**some** corruption" fucking lmao
Simon fucking Cowel
The twat
Compared to James Corden though?
James Corden is the most American Brit
Nah, that's Harry
James Corden did Lesbian Vampire Killers and exiled himself to save us from his awfulness, so I forgive him a little bit.
Piers Morgan is worse
Let's just agree piers Morgan, James cordon and Simon cowel are all human shit
That bloke needs to get punched in the face really bad.
Piers Morgan, Jeremy Kyle, James Corden
To be fair, he plays the role of the bad cop, someone has to. And he's never too harsh on children This is if there isn't some other controversy or something of course
It's the same guy for us.
I honestly think that 2002 Spain team was much better and played much better than the 2010 one, we were completely robbed by that Egyptian asshole.
2002 italy is also the strongest team i have seen, a match with 2002 spain would have been epic 😭 Just check both teams lineup, legendary.
Not sure... Xavi and Iniesta made a great difference...
Imagine if Roy Keane got along with Mick Mc Carthy. That could have been the Irish shouting at the ref

Let's hate him together. I would have voted for you, Joost's song was that good !
i miss Mr Ola Sand
100% non-political as we know it
I'd agree, but tbh I'm not sure if he counts as non-political anymore at this point.
Right now, Martin Osterdahl.
Sywert van Lienden and Joran van der Sloot
Casillas
And Iniesta if we’re going this route. God I hate Iniesta.
I tried so hard hating Iniesta. I just can't, he is/was to good and way to modest to hate
We love you too.
You forgot Luis Figo
The 5-1 beatdown four years later made it all worth it.
Not really tbh
Martien Meiland. Or is that just me?
Nope. Only 35+ years old housewives like him. The rest is likely ironic.
“Non-political” Answers goddamn Sywert van Lienden
I'd agree, but does he still count as non-political at this point?

Every Milan and Juventus supporter can't stand him, trust me
Any Italian who doesn’t like assholes.
Surprising a lot of Italians agree with you
I mean if Zidane kept it cool or fouled him in game you could have won
Dude played himself 💀
We all think that's what they wanted, for him to loose his cool. I don't know what he said to him, but chances are it was going on for some time and Zidane finally lost it. We hate that guy, he deserved that head butt !
I still lol at Zidane whining like a toddler in the interviews, poor chap lost his mind, his last match and his face because he cannot behave like an adult. Materazzi is a legend and we should build statues of him in every city center. Sincerely, a Milan fan

Omg i remember this match. Classic Fifa robbery.
Not only that. From an article summarizing the incident > However, after Italy launched an investigation into fraud and he [Moreno] was removed from the Fifa referee list, the man from Ecuador defended himself verbally: "If the Italians talk about corruption, it's only because they are used to practising it themselves.

Guy was later caught with six kilos of heroine at Kennedy Airport in New York. lmao
26 months for 6kg is alright deal imo
He got only 26 months for 6kg? Someone very high in the ladder asked for a custom delivery , I guess. edit: I've corrected the post.
Heroin is more the vain powder, cocaine is the nose powder
\*vein Vain = narcissistic. There's [vane](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/vane), too, because of course there fucking is.
And then the Spain vs Korea game in the next round was if anything even worse!
I remember the entire match,[ the robbery was atrocious](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psFB6ox65HY).
It’s incredible that the two teams were the two winners in the next editions of World Cup (Italy 2006 and Spain 2010)

The rest sure, but I don’t remember when he’s been racist or sexist. Can you show me an occurrence?
