I can't believe I've watched this shit, but I gotta admit I'm starting to like it.

Fuck 'em both.

God's Country having to host modern-Western Civ's two most despicable nations in the finals.

Pity the Germans.

Way to go Germans...

Wishes he was German.^^^

Politics in a WC thread? No way!


RACK Scott.

mvs, the Iranians' win over us in '98 probably did more to undermine the Clerics' authority there (what's does the Imam say about party until you pass out?) than a thousand public "harsh statements" and diplomatic tea-toting sessions from the West.

mvscal wrote:I'm not really sure what your point is. Surely you aren't you trying to suggest that soccer somehow transcends politics, are you?

You being sarcastic, or just making fun of the ESPN promo spots?

The answer is yes, in some cases, from both ends.

The Ivory Coast spat was completely put on hold for a few weeks this year. A war was started in Latin America following a WC qualifying game.

Think of it this way, Bolt Fan ...

Your neighbor (either next door or across the block) is a Donks or Chiefs fan.

The AFC championship game is on with the Bolts playing the Donks/Chiefs. Neither you nor he is going to be running over to your houses and fucking with each other, you're going to be watching the game ... if not appreciating the fact that he's into the game as much as you are.

Hell, you might even decide to call a truce and have a block party, where all the Bolt and Donk/Chief flags could abound, and the beer could be a flowin, and the wives get to keep an eye on your drunken asses.

American sport isn't remotely comparable in that respect.

No argument here.

So who do you want to win the World Cup Final, mvs? Italy or France?

Same here bro., probably for different reasons, though ... you having spent some time over there, I believe, and me liking an underdog with this particular team of crusties and young talent.

But France capitulates .

Italy.

Why? If you have to ask, you haven't been paying attention.

Bobby42 wrote:But France capitulates .

Yeah, but at least when they surrender, it's honest.

Italy just fakes it.

If France has the chance to be tops in something, that something isn't worth giving a shit about.

France has a great train system.

I'm talking the kind that carries people to and fro, sickos.

france was the best damn ally we ever had....in the 18th century. That title, for the the last century or so is locked up by the UK. It ain't even close.

BTW, why you're fascination over the racial/ethnic make up of a national team, you racist shitstain of a troll?

I don't have a BA in history or nuthin' like that, but, I'm fairly certain that the krauts came up with that stuff in the previous century. Actually, the german commie thing was a couple cents back.

I think what mv was trying to say was that the Germans were the country that shipped Lenin back to Russia in 1917 with the express purpose of igniting a revolution. A revolution that gave the world the USSR and all of it's attendant atrocities.

And the NDSP (Nazi) party was formed in the aftermath of WWI.

I was just mentioning that both the russian revolution and WWII occured in the 20th century. Last time I checked, we were in the 21st century.

I was also noting that it was a Kraut, Karl Marx, who got all this silly communist stuff going in the 19th century. I do admit though, that old Karl didn't really enact anything. It was all just a bunch of harmless hot air til Lenin came along.

Anyone who doesn't have personal ties to Italy, yet would still root for Italy, truly knows nothing about the game.

The United Nations should impose sanctions against Italy for their crimes against the game of soccer.

Hell, what the Italians are playing isn't even "soccer"(or "footy," or any other name for The Beautiful Game) -- they may play it on a soccer field against soccer teams, but that crap they're dealing isn't soccer.

Zinidine Zidane is one of the greatest athletes in modern history.

Go France.

Of course, as soon as England was eliminated, I instantly (once again) became a fan of Team Anyone-But-Italy. I'll root for freaking Iran before I wish anything but death on the Italian team.

What's with the fence sitting Dins? Please let us know how you really feel and don't hold back this time*.






















* over under on words used is set at +/- 439. RF will hold the money and the house will take 5%. PM your bets to Van and I need someone to post this in Biggies secret forum.

Yes, I get it. And I'm certain that's what you meant. Just being a nit picking prick. I'd expect no less from you.

Dins also an expert on soccer - Gee who would have guessed?

As a 50% Dago / Kraut my loyalties obviously go to team Woppa in this historic event.

So THAT's why you're such an arrogant prick, eh Scotty? :D

Ok, if you're a Dago from KC, one of your parents is most assuredly from Northeast.

Which one?

I'm guessing your Mom, because no self respecting dago male from NE would ever marry outside the gene pool.

I grew up with the slimeball, inbred, mafia wannabes and know them all too well.

Just a guess Scottio, but the family from your mothers side considers you and yours "white trash" and won't have a thing to do with you?

Fuck Italy.

Vive Le France!

A true Budman would have it no other way.

smackaholic, kcscott, mtlr and the rest of T1BDP (dago posse)

btw, you are right about italia, but, blood is thicker than shitty footy strategies.

Italy win, they are playing better, more attractive football. They are deeper and, younger and more skilled. France hasn't a chance.

Yeah, an expert....

My Dad is Welsh and my Mom who died when i was 10 was irish and Native American.

Now you figure out how I'm 50/50 Italian German

Scott,

Whitey don't do math too good. Can''t you give him an easier one, like what's the sound the velcro on his shoes makes when he takes them off?

He also has a pretty short fuse. Rack him for this blast though.
