A style of football played by managers such as Pep Guardiola, Mikel Arteta, Gareth Southgate and various Spanish football teams.

It involves playing a high possession style of football that can be extremely boring to watch, as it devolves into a team spamming crosses until they get lucky and score.

Despite this, pundits and mainstream voices often describe it as “attractive” and “exiting” , whilst dismissing older and more traditional styles of football. Thus the term “Wokeball”.
“Wokeball is so boring to watch, all they do is spam crosses and hope it works out. Inshallah Albania will beat them with only 20% possession”

Stealthie 

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"
