I've got to say I'm surprised Nadal allowed himself to be forced into such an intimate position with Tipsy, especially after all the discord after that gun photo.
The 2 biggest football rivals in Spain are Real madrid and Barcelona.
Ralph supports Real.
Barcelona has been pwning Real the past few years.
Barcelona pwned Real again a few days ago.
vvvvvvv
Tipsy trolls Ralph.
Haha, Real Madrid as brought to you by the History Channel: Celebrating Decades of Past Success.

Thanks for the context, but I don't get the History channel juxtaposition.
I mean, I kinda get it, Nadal used the word history ha ha...
But is the history channel big in Europe or Australia, or is the tipster tailoring the joke for an American audience.
Fyi, I'm high on cold medicine right now.

The Tipsy Time clips are a good laugh
Real Madrid supported the fascist dictator Franco whereas people from Barcelona fought against him...so it goes beyond football...
That's what FC Barcelona's historians say. The reality is that the Real Madrid president was executed by the fascists during the Spanish Civil War.
If Barça was a symbol of dissent to the Franco dictatorship, Real Madrid was the regime's — and the Generalísimo's — favored team. (Santiago Bernabeu, the former club president for whom the Galácticos' stadium is named, even fought with Franco's army during the Nationalist invasion of Catalonia).
I do know Spanish football, you know. All I'm saying is that it's not as clear cut as FC Barcelona's historians like to make out. People involved in Real Madrid were executed by the fascists, including the president. I can't stand either FC Barcelona nor Real Madrid. Real Madrid are mercenaries personified, and Barcelona have always had this annoying superiority complex and love playing the martyrs.
Time magazine belongs to Barcelona FC? That's shocking news!

No, but no history is neutral. It's a fact that the fascists executed some Real Madrid personnel in the civil war.
I'm sure the tipster's joke didn't have near the historical context that some on this forum have alluded to!
Some very interesting facts and or suggestions here.
You Europeans definitely take your 'football' seriously!
In the time immediately following the civil war, Franco had much closer ties to Atletico Madrid than he did Real; this was because Atletico had founding members from the Spanish airforce. But as Real Madrid became dominant, Franco allied himself to them chiefly because of their effectiveness as a propaganda tool.
Well, this is how I understand it anyway.

This is right.
But the idea of people from FC Barcelona "fighting" Franco or being some kind of anti-dictatorship club is just ludicrous. Franco helped the Real Madrid, but FC Barcelona still was the second most powerful club in the country and one of the most powerful clubs in Europe. It's not like they were some idealistic semi-clandestine club made of heroic prosecuted footballers playing on some isolated dusty field and being harrassed by policemen.
No Clint Eastwood's movie here.
Football it's the most similar thing to religion in Europe I think. Specially when religion is losing importance.
No quotes needed for football, it's played with the feet BTW.
FC Barcelona was on top of the list of organizations to be purged by the National faction, just after communists, anarchists and independentists.[9][12] During the Franco dictatorship, most citizens of Barcelona were in strong opposition to the fascist-like régime.
What do you mean by "your football"? There is only one football. And one sport that is mistakenly called same.
i like this one...lol..

Well, Tipsy did call him to explain/apologize, so...
Yeah, besides Nadal doesn't seem to be the type to get offended that easily by some stupid joke. I don't for sure of course but I get the impression that Nadal is a very laid back guy off court, completely different than the gladiator he is in a match. I know a few people like that, whose personalities differ quite a bit depending on whether they're at the job or at home/relaxing with friends etc.
