Diff Countries in the World Cup

[ACamp1900]

Seriously im sick f Mexico fans. YOUR TEAM IS NOT THAT GOOD, MEXICO IS NOT BRAZIL OR GERMANY. GET OVER IT

I'd rep you twice if I could...

I hope a Jubulani ball actually knocks Maradona's head off and the Argentinians are sent packing with Shakira, all in mourning of that crackhead coach.

Viva Mejico!

So Argentinian fans annoy you, but........????? wait, what??

No. Shakira is freakin' hot.

But Diego Maradona is a moron. He was an awesome player. But do you know any of his recent issues? He called out Pele for pete sakes. Why?

Jealousy. They were apples and oranges. Now I'm waiting on him to try to pick a fight with Beckenbauer or the likes...

Besides, why hate on Mexico? They smashed the French and may have single-handedly sent them into the tail-spin they're in now. They're also our neighbors you enamored Crosby fan.

 

[ACamp1900]

Everything you said about Maradona can be apllied to what each and every single player for Mexico has said and done to our boys... their President thinks he can come here and bash our country and it's laws when his laws on the same exact issues are far worse in terms of what his issues are... their citizens come to our country and celebrate in our streets when we get kicked out the the W.C. (See Los Angeles 1994 and 02). They have a giant football field sized fucking Mexican flag on the hillside of TJ (hole of a city) that maybe 5 total Mexicans can actually see from their vantage point that is intended solely to ruin the view of Americans in San Diego... as J stated their delusional fans are more annoying than the "We are gonna win the National Championship this year" every year ND fans...

I think that's a great starting point on why to hate on that team... oh, and the country is a fucking hole... there's that too...

whoa easy there. I don't hate Mexicans or Mexico i just hate how uppity they can be. They talmk alot of trash about soccer when they have an average team. they talk alot of trash about Salvadoreans or Guatamalans as if they are a world power. It just get annoying, all i am saying is that Mexico is not Spain, Argentina, Brazil or Chile (countries that generally have money and power oh yeah and good futbol teams). No offense to my fellow brown folks, just sayin

As for Argentinians, i have special place in my heart for them because they were three sisters in my school who descended from Argentina and each one was FIIIIINE. and i dont mean kinda hot i am talking FIIIIINNNNNNE.

couldn't have said it better! I went to the last two World Cup Qualifiers against Mexico here in Columbus. Mexican fans are just awful. Legal or not, it seems every Mexican within 100 miles shows up. Thankfully the US won both.

The bracket is favorable for a deep American run. If they get by Ghana, the winner of South Korea/Uruguay awaits.

 

[johnnykillz]

I would say the people of Mexico may be overly prideful of their futbol. But seriously guys, why wouldn't they be proud?

There isn't a lot of things to look forward to. You mentioned a flag only visible from the US border. I bet it's sort of a way of saying "Here's our turf." You cannot blame them for hopping a border to come over here to make ten times the amount of money to send back home. Most of those people, the immigrants, are good family men.

They also, for the most part, value those things in appropriate order: God, family, job, and everything else. For a lot that's soccer. They most certainly aren't a world's power.

But try to look at it from their perspective: What a great victory to beat the juggernaut United States. A few have mentioned their arrogance. As most of you know and may possibly be yourselves, Americans aren't always kind and have quite a few preconcieved notions about the people of Mexico. Can you imagine how arrogant we must seem?

The problems Mexico has on the north border are ALL problems, we, the US have created. Cheap work without having to pay benefits by ranchers, farmers, and small business owners continues to stimulate the people to come over. Free medical treatments that are near-logrithmically more advanced than most of their treatment centers, and drug dependence are a few crutches they have to over come.

They are economically depressed. Sure some thank us. But most despise us for what we've created. I mean how can we hate them for what we've made them? In reciprocity, how can they hate us for what we've done? It's a lot easier for them to generate the hatred in that circumstance.

So when they beat a rich and flourishing nation, in their eyes, they've beaten Goliath. Or better yet, they've beaten a country whose punk card they've had before in soccer, but have lost recently. As you mentioned, we've sent them home packing. But they beat us 5-0 in Mexico about half a year ago, and they were ecstatic. They guage their run in competition by us. And for the most part, it's friendly competition guys... And apparently, this year, we are a pretty good guage. They've made it to the knockouts, and if they beat Argentina, they've got Germany or England. Tough luck there.

But I respect your opinions. I'm certain life in SoCal is different than life in New Mex. It's plausible the people there are different than here, from both sides of the border. Just as people in New York are different than those from Tennessee.

 

[ACamp1900]

It's not about "the people"... why do we insist in this day and age to always connect everything to race??? It's beyond tired... You asked why hate the Mexican team... I gave some reasons... not one had to do with Mexicans that weren't the same group of fans that Jasonalso hated on...

But since you went there let me address one thing on this point... I'm so sick of hearing about the "problem we created"... let's blame the school children who create a drug market for the drug dealer who pushes to sixth graders... because of course the school children created the market... it's not the drug dealers fault when you look at it your way...

and you can rationalize terrorism from "their perspective" as well... fuck their perspective...

so going back to the TEAM... from MY perspective I want the team to lose with every ounce of my being because the team is comprised of a bunch of thugs (well established), the President is a fucking moron and their fans are annoying as hell... I'll celebrate with my part Filipina, part Irish and part Mexican wife and child when the Mexcan National Team loses and we'll taste the sweetness of their tears... If that's not poltically correct I give a squat...

Dude, you live in a bubble if you're too ignorant to accept the problems we create are ones we battle.

School children aren't buying the drugs man. With what, lunch money? Parents HAVE to be cognizant of their children's behavior. The problem is their parents don't know what they do because BOTH are out working trying to compete with the Jones'. We (majority) have no values, but our media encourages that. Because if you are preoccupied and rely on media to give you your information, you'll live in the fairy tale world our system creates.

Red pill or blue pill ACamp? (I know you know better than that anyway, you're pretending to be this ignorant.)

Thugs? Really? Because they are fiery and play tough?

And their Presidente' wouldn't be in power if it was inconvenient with us (US).

Terrorism? Wow. Mexico fans celebrating is terrorism, or a flag in TJ?

I like you man, you know that. But I interpret some strong bigotry-like undertones to your train of thought.

One more logical correlation, not logical fallacy: I thought I read "citizens come to our country and celebrate in our streets when we get kicked out the the W.C. (See Los Angeles 1994 and 02). " So I didn't go there sir, you did, but it's where we both wanted to go. One of us isn't afraid to draw the line and make it clear. The other has ambiguity. Mexican fans/nationals cheering for their national team is a logical correlation, not fallacy.

And lastly, back to the team. I only wanted to pull for the team vs. Argentina. But you really went there, not I. I had to draw a reason to argue back, especially when I know a white guy like me is battling some BS bigotry that will undoubtedly offend some good friends I have in here and elsewhere. Mexico isn't all bad nor is it the typical picture our media creates.

 

[ACamp1900]

your ignorant if you thought I was connecting anyone with terrorism but terrorists... I compared your way ot thinking to other problems in society... the connection had nothing to do with Mexico... and again by your way of thinking the drug dealer isn't the problem... it's society and the parents... My point is I don't excuse the criminal behavior by over anaylzing who created the opportunity to committ the crime...

and yes, they are by far the most thug ridden team in major world soccer... taking cheap shots at teh opposing team each and every time your team has obviously lost is not playing hard... Obviously you took the blue pill.

You're the one who asked why disklike their national team... I gave you a few reasons why... all are legit.

And this is why I hate P.C.... I can't root for my country's National team against our most hated rival in this sport without having the Biggot Card thrown on me despite having valid reasons... That's P.C. garbage.

here it is... using your logic... YOU went there first by hating on Argentina and their people... I'm just pointing out your obvious racial bigotry against them...

 

[johnnykillz]

The bigot card came from undertones of my perceived your psyche. If I falsely accused you, I'm sorry.

In fact, if I'm wrong about all of this I'm sorry. But my writing to you only addressed some common problems with a lot of our people from our nation.

You were merely a tool to address all of the others looking to hop on the bandwagon to hate on Mexico for ulterior motives.

As I said before, you know I like you man.

Besides, I'm not sure which pill is which anymore.

 

[johnnykillz]

Maradona's head is way too big for his body and the women there are ALL hot. Screw Argentinians.

I just hit a "G" in posts bitches...

 

[ACamp1900]

You know what, we need to get to the crux of this problem... Why do you hate Argentinians so much Johnny???

 

[NeuteredDoomer]

Maradona's head is way too big for his body and the women there are ALL hot. Screw Argentinians.

I just hit a "G" in posts bitches...

lol. Congrats on the "G."

Futbol and especially world cup can sure draw out some emotion. I remember quite a while ago (1994) I was watching world cup as Andres Escobar from Columbia made an auto goal and Columbia lost by one to the U.S.A. (I had to look it up). I remember saying "Poor guy. He'll be dead in a week." He was shot 12 times 2 weeks later by a fellow countryman who shouted "Gol!" with each shot.

 

[jason_h537]

I just hate that everyone thinks i am Mexican. Anyway Spain bitches. we goin all the way.

 

[ACamp1900]

Careful now, friend (amigo, ami, freund, amico, vriend). YOU can call me "Mick," but there damn well better be a twinkle in your eye when you do!

 

[NeuteredDoomer]

Deciding what country to represent not always easy - Boston.com

"National pride can be a complicated thing at the World Cup. While most players are representing the countries where they were born, others -- for various reasons -- are like U.N. ambassadors. One Boateng brother plays for Germany, the other for Ghana. Algeria's Hassan Yebda won an Under-17 world title with France. Winston Reid is a Kiwi by way of Denmark. Stuart Holden was born in Scotland and still has a U.K. passport, yet now wears the colors of the United States...."

Pan's Labyrinth?

 

[dshans]

Pan Dilemma:1) Do I use the 10" carbon steel sauté pan or the 12" cast iron skillet? 2) Do I impregnate a goat or get shut down in yet another futile attempt to seduce a woman?

 

[NeuteredDoomer]

Buy some USDA Prime Aged Beef, or Choice - Sirloin and on special - and cook it on the grill. Flip once only and bring it to about 120 -125 degrees (use a meat thermo meter), then wrap it in foil for about 5 minutes. Yummy.

Forget about the goat since you can't impregnate it, and give up on predestined futile attempts.

Then watch some World Cup action and try to ignore the vuvuzelas.

 

[johnnykillz]

damn vuvuzelas...

 

[HereComeTheIrish]

you said vuvuzelas....

This was the last movie in ESPN's 30 for 30 series. It was entitled, The Two Escobars, and the pitch was, "Sometimes it's more than a game." I haven't checked it out yet but it looks very good.

 

[mgriff]

Pan's Labyrinth?

Step Brothers. The one interview he can't understand the woman's name, and he goes off on an amusing tangent.

 

[BDIrish4ever]

Now that the U.S. is done, I have changed my support to my ancestral home, Germany! It is one of the few times in my life I can support the "Fatherland" and not feel guilty.

 

[ACamp1900]

GO SCOTLAND!!!!!!


wait... what?
