Salut, toi, le converti ! Me revoilà pour t'émerveiller d'insultes et de malédictions. N'oublie jamais que tu es un putain de pervers qui a éliminé les Pharaons du tournoi sur ordre de la FIFA, espèce de traître ! Honte à toi et à toute ta famille ! Va lécher la chatte de ta femme, c'est tout ce dont tu es capable.
