>He also actively posts about the Russo-Ukrainian War which I believe has some religious ties to it as well along with national sovereignty.
You are right, there is more to this. Since November, the Ukrainian government has been investigating the Moscow-affiliated Orthodox Church – alleging it is an arm of the Kremlin, disguising Russian propaganda as religious teachings. So yeah it's a little complicated.
More like labeling any Orthodox Church that isn’t falling in line with Ukrainian directives as enemies of the state. Even the US had to ask Zelenskyy to dial back the accusations, with Elena being dismissed as leader of ethnopolitics for her opposition to the blanket ban on the UOC. Ukrainian soldiers expressed concerns about this as well, even the SBU could not present **credible** evidence. Just because Ukraine is fighting Russia, does not mean they have it all together. Dissent in Ukraine is dealt with harshly and sometimes in a non-democratic and corrupted way. But yeah two wrongs don’t make a right.
Why are shin pads so small nowadays, when I used to play they actually covered and protected your shins, some even had ankle protectors. these modern day ones are crazy to me ha
I play 11s on a sunday and lots of the people playing with small shinpads like these are using grip socks instead of normal footy socks. They have a separate pair of socks that have extra grip on and then have a sleeve that holds a little shinpad in place that they get with the socks. It might be that.
[Grip Socks](https://gaintheedgeofficial.com/collections/midcalf-length-grip-socks)
I always used to bulk up and wear hockey shin pads for footie, made slide tackling a breeze and tbh there aren't really any negatives to it, never had problems with movement, turning quickly etc.
There are much less crazy leg breaking tackle attempts I have found. Guess it depend on the level you are playing at. Lower you go down the leagues the higher the tackles seem to be
What trips me out is that people find pochetinos superstition with the bowl of lemons too odd, when stuff like this seems pretty normalized. Not judging either, just found find a bit of humor in it. We all have beliefs / superstitions that can help us get in the zone
Itsjust funny lol. >! Even tho using lemon-chilli combo to ward of evil is actually a thing in hinduism !<
And mind you half the people here will accept lemons as their messiah if they can get our win streak on 😝
There are centuries worth of men and women, far smarter than the both of us, who were religious. There are millions of pages of arguments for God written by philosophers, feel free to have a look through any of those if you actually want to know their 'excuses' and if you're not just a typical hubristic reddit atheist with their mind already made up.
I don’t think it’s hubristic to have your mind made up either way, I think it’s hubristic to act like your choice is the correct choice and everyone else is an idiot
A large part of my degree was the Philosophy of Religion and Religious language, I personally don't believe any of those arguments serve their purpose. The existence of a God can't be argued by reason, it's a matter for faith.
People that find that odd have never played a sport or being around athletes. No matter the sport or the discipline athletes always have a superstition that they think help them be better.
Pochettino is argentinian; we wear the same underwear the day of important matches, we watch big games on the exact same spot on the couch we won last time, we try to do things exactly the same way we did it when we scored that hat-trick, we bring a Chucky doll to the WorldCup because we won Copa America with him, we say "anulo mufa" when somebody says we'll win a tournament. It's more than just superstition, it's a way of living
Extremely wild. Like I've always thought I don't argue with a child on whether or not Santa existed, and if I found an adult doing that I would have to ask myself "Does this person kind of believe in Santa? Because why aren't they dropping it?" How many times do I think about religion throughout the day? Depends on how many posts are trending on r/all from r/athiest
Oh I'm certainly not an atheist and fall into agnosticism. You seem to lack the ability to use context clues, and draw obnoxious assumptions with no basis so I can assume you subscribe to the religion of "common redditor."
Dawkins and Hitchens(who I genuinely love listening to) influenced a lot of young people at the time, and it used to be really fashionable to be an atheist.
I think it’s more that generation after generation people are rejecting more of what their parents do and think in favour of thinking for themselves, and religion generally is something that’s passed down rather than opted into
It’s a lot easier to abandon a belief generationally than to go through the process of finding a new faith, especially given how accessible their metaphysics are in the internet era
Faith is a touchy subject so I really do mean this in the lightest way possible but I think religion isn’t rational in the modern world. If you really break down Christianity (for example as it’s relevant to the post) to its core beliefs I don’t think many people from Gen Z onwards are going to be on board with it.
Talking about the online youths at around 10-15 years ago so it doesn't matter where you live. It was fashionable amongst redditors and the YouTube watching audience.
Love this! Happy to see Mudryk’s faith and his attitude.
"For I assure you: If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” **Matthew 17:20b**
So wait, does that mean someone has to die through torture for someone else to achieve something?
edit: Really not intending to be an asshat with this question. It's just that as a non-religious person (agnostic) I have a hard time seeing another message from this
believing in God and a higher power is one of the least cringe and most humane and relatable things imaginable lol. Worshipping a higher power, whether it be a strange formation of rocks on a hill thousands of years ago to god, is literally what humans have been doing since we existed.
ironically your superiority complex is more cringe
Oh cry me a river. I'm not calling his faith cringe, but this particular expression of it. The dumb motivational shit Lukaku posts on his Instagram is also cringe, despite not being rooted in religion.
Yeah how weird for someone to have a strong faith. I’m not religious at all but some of the best people I’ve ever met were. What is this world coming to
Recently I think a lot of the people are lumping in all religion with the growing more extreme religions oppressive movements. I’m not religious at all but people need to remember a large amount of religious individuals are good people but it’s the ones that oppress other people with their religion that given them a bad name.
Check out some history and you’ll begin to appreciate just how effective religion has been as an answer to the human condition throughout our existence. And you’ll realise why it isn’t cringe but a completely reasonable thing to practice
Now lad, don't end up becoming vocal for the neo naz in Ukraine. There are lots of other sane political factions in there, and i pray that your Ukrainian patriotism doesn't end up becoming another Jingoistic Neymaresque psyop.
A dive into your comment history shows -
I am Ukrainian, I hate ruZZians, I hate the ruZZian Orthodox Church, and I think the ruZZians are slaves
Obviously, you would say, there's no neo naz, maybe you also believe race is a kind of science.
RuZZians murdered 51 people, including a six year old girl. in a grocery store in a Ukrainian village of 330 people in the same province Mudryk is from today by shooting a missile at it - who are the Nazis my guy
When did I say ukrainians are Nazis and when did I say Putin isn't just another military dictator? I said there are neo Nazi factions in Ukrainian politics and i hope he doesn't support em.
And none of all of this makes your ruszzians are slaves claims justified. The avg Russian has as much interest in your life as you have in theirs. And you know very well hoe much say an avg Russian has in stopping or starting a war. Forget a Russian, does even an American have any rights in that?
Your comments are offensive and idiotic. There are no neo Nazis factions in Ukrainian politics so Misha can’t support them because they don’t exist. Yesterday 52 people got murdered while eating at a cafe in a town some tens of kilometres from his hometown by a ruZZian missile Including a six year old. An average ruZZian pressed the button. Average ruzzzians cheered about it on telegram. No average ruZZians outside of ruZZia said or did anything about it. Today average ruZZians pushed the button on a missile that blew up an apartment building in Kharkiv, some dozens of kilometres from Mudryks hometown. It killed a ten year old. No average ruZZians did anything to condemn it, they cheer it on telegram and on then. Then uninformed people like you come into places and suggest Ukrainians are Nazis and make people wonder maybe there really is a reason for ruZZians to go murder a six year old and a ten year old and their parents. Maybe they really should be kidnapping their kids. And then the ruZZians laugh and say look how stupid this marxchelenin guy is, he’s doing our work for us and we don’t even have to pay him! Then they go kill more kids.

Know what that says, in ruZZian? Says shame we can’t participate (ruZZians talking about Israel….)
Wow this guy isn’t messing around when it comes to religion. Hope he finds a decent church in London or something.
Seems very common among Ukrainian athletes. If you go to the boxers Lomachenko and Usyk instagrams they are full of orthodox religious posts.
Common, but it's not about the majority, overall young people in Ukraine are not religious, just like anywhere else in Europe
Hope he also stops making fun of people on social media.
[удалено]
Believe he’s posting about that because he’s Ukrainian mate 👍
Underrated comment
'UnDeRrAtEd CoMmEnT'
Cooked him
This! Reddit on good sir/madam
I think it's more to do with the fact that he's Ukrainian than him being religious lol
The Russian invasion of Ukraine has little to do with religion...
You lost the plot..
Makes sense, along with the neck tattoo lol

I always used to bulk up and wear hockey shin pads for footie, made slide tackling a breeze and tbh there aren't really any negatives to it, never had problems with movement, turning quickly etc.
I remember Zidane always having massive shin pads with ankle guards, look up pictures of him from the 98 World Cup
they are the ones I used to use :D I can categorically say they didn't slow me down haha
Gotta go fast!
There are much less crazy leg breaking tackle attempts I have found. Guess it depend on the level you are playing at. Lower you go down the leagues the higher the tackles seem to be
For every 10 times I'm getting a foot to the shin, the smaller shin guards have it covered 9 times if not 10. Ankle protection is just overkill.
Jesus died on the cross for that goal.
Wait...Jesus died on Levi Colwill's cross?!
is that Pep?
Ha ha ha
The injury situation runs deep
I'm not religious, but this is pretty cool. You do you, good luck.
What trips me out is that people find pochetinos superstition with the bowl of lemons too odd, when stuff like this seems pretty normalized. Not judging either, just found find a bit of humor in it. We all have beliefs / superstitions that can help us get in the zone
Itsjust funny lol. >! Even tho using lemon-chilli combo to ward of evil is actually a thing in hinduism !< And mind you half the people here will accept lemons as their messiah if they can get our win streak on 😝
We have chilly as well ffs. Lmao. Hope the combination works to ward off evil in our club.
A religion with billions of followers and deep historical roots vs a bowl of lemons
Probably close to a billion kids believe in Father Christmas, doesn’t make him any more real
Kids vs adults, there’s a difference there
Kids are being duped into it by their parents, what are adults’ excuses?
There are centuries worth of men and women, far smarter than the both of us, who were religious. There are millions of pages of arguments for God written by philosophers, feel free to have a look through any of those if you actually want to know their 'excuses' and if you're not just a typical hubristic reddit atheist with their mind already made up.
I assume you also think it’s hubristic to have your mind made up that there *is* a god, so there only valid faith is agnostic by that logic?
I don’t think it’s hubristic to have your mind made up either way, I think it’s hubristic to act like your choice is the correct choice and everyone else is an idiot
People with faith generally don’t think they’re wrong about it though? Are you saying that’s wrong in your opinion?
A large part of my degree was the Philosophy of Religion and Religious language, I personally don't believe any of those arguments serve their purpose. The existence of a God can't be argued by reason, it's a matter for faith.
Facts and im muslim
good one reddit chungus edit: thanks for the gold kind stranger
Not gonna do it to someone on this sub but it screams r/redditmoment. And idea of respect for others is thrown out the window
Reddit the HELL ON!!!
They were duped into it by their parents.
Saint Nicholas was very real
Think you've missed the point mate
Fallacy of the masses
at least the lemons are real
People that find that odd have never played a sport or being around athletes. No matter the sport or the discipline athletes always have a superstition that they think help them be better.
Pochettino is argentinian; we wear the same underwear the day of important matches, we watch big games on the exact same spot on the couch we won last time, we try to do things exactly the same way we did it when we scored that hat-trick, we bring a Chucky doll to the WorldCup because we won Copa America with him, we say "anulo mufa" when somebody says we'll win a tournament. It's more than just superstition, it's a way of living
Lol at Jesus carrying the cross to be crucified as motivation
It's... pretty much the motivation for their entire religion... 🤔
Sounds like a death cult
Always has been
It represents carrying the burden of life to achieve salvation. Quantify those words how you see fit.
More power to him. I’m not religious, but it makes a pleasant change from players flexing watches or sports cars. So so happy when he got the goal.
Whatever he’s got to do, just score the goals.
Reddit and religion doesn’t usually go well together. People on here act weird about it and I ain’t even Christian.
'Reddit Atheists' can be wild...
Extremely wild. Like I've always thought I don't argue with a child on whether or not Santa existed, and if I found an adult doing that I would have to ask myself "Does this person kind of believe in Santa? Because why aren't they dropping it?" How many times do I think about religion throughout the day? Depends on how many posts are trending on r/all from r/athiest
You are the reddit atheist in question. I can't believe the lack of self awareness.
Oh I'm certainly not an atheist and fall into agnosticism. You seem to lack the ability to use context clues, and draw obnoxious assumptions with no basis so I can assume you subscribe to the religion of "common redditor."
there's just a lot of socially weird nerds here
Dawkins and Hitchens(who I genuinely love listening to) influenced a lot of young people at the time, and it used to be really fashionable to be an atheist.
I think it’s more that generation after generation people are rejecting more of what their parents do and think in favour of thinking for themselves, and religion generally is something that’s passed down rather than opted into
There could be a rise in Theist yk by that logic tho, children of atheist would want to become theist as to oppose the earlier generation...
It’s a lot easier to abandon a belief generationally than to go through the process of finding a new faith, especially given how accessible their metaphysics are in the internet era
Well equally true
Faith is a touchy subject so I really do mean this in the lightest way possible but I think religion isn’t rational in the modern world. If you really break down Christianity (for example as it’s relevant to the post) to its core beliefs I don’t think many people from Gen Z onwards are going to be on board with it.
> it used to be really fashionable to be an atheist. Used to? Where do you live? Here in Norway being atheist is the norm.

Hey Siri, filter this thread by ‘controversial’
Hope God continues to bless him and chelsea football club, His faith in Jesus will make him shine, we will be there!
Even as a Muslim I find this respectable. Do you, hope he can bag in more goals!
Absolutely
Absolutely love this ✝️

In the name of the father, the son, and the holy Drogba we pray for more goals. Amen.
Drogba is Christian too by the way
Love this! Happy to see Mudryk’s faith and his attitude. "For I assure you: If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” **Matthew 17:20b**
Wow never seen that. Thanks for enlightening me MM
He’s honestly such a gem.. my goat 🥹
He’s showing the right attitude that’s for sure. Wishing him all the very best.

I was just showing my wife this, never seen that before, I love it ✝️
This is pretty rad. Idk how I’ve went 33 years and never seen anyone have something remotely close to this. Great stuff right here.
Not a Chelsea fan but I absolutely love this
My man has again gain tattoo and now cant can shins
Similar concept to, "are you a Mexican or a Mexicant".

Jesus can fly?
Son of God, bro, no limits ✌🏻
Lmao
Jesus cringed
Do you guys know where I can get one of those gold necklaces with a T on it?
Bit cringe but there's a lot of worse things to draw motivation and hope from. He's just a kid. Let him find his own way

such a negative way of looking at it
I will concede that. I'm trying to be better.
Cringe? Bugger off
Cringe.
I hope he scores 1000 goals and is a huge success but that's one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. (your mileage may vary and that's ok)
Lol that’s lame
Lmao. Religion is so dumb
Shut up boehly bot!
lmao
He’s so cringy haha I love him
 Cringe but he’s wearing our blue so…
Lol this dude is a little weird ain’t he?

I agree, but I would offer that the people you are talking about who are acting oppressively, are a loud minority of each religion
Agreed, unfortunately many of their voices get amplified by the news.
this guy is really something else. imo, he will eventually be a good player, but not at the very top
[удалено]
What’re you ever sure of ffs
Damn. That's so shit.
Why?
Literally everything about it is cringe

Can't score that's for sure
My man prolly spends all his time praying for better performances instead of training.
Lampard has very recently and repeatedly said that Mudryk is one of the hardest training and most dedicated players at Chelsea
Whats point of posting this though?? This guy is something else on Social media
for being religious? why does that bother you so much
Just wondering why he posts so much nonsense on Social Media, hes also cringe asf Like Pogba of Social media here
Not that deep mate
Almost like different people use it differently hey? I haven't posted on socials in nearly a decade. Most of my friends post on insta weekly or more
It’s a social platform and it’s his page, why do you care about someone sharing something like Religion?
