Ok. That doesn't even make sense. Look, the only people who have a greater inferiority complex with regards to American sports than do soccer fans are cricket fans. You will never, ever find a football/baseball/B-Ball/hockey fan starting a thread about how great their favourite game is and why Europeans should more embrace it. We. Just. Don't. Care.

In Abesinia (now Ethiopia), Musolini use to gas them, now 1 of them (Baloteli) is an "Italian"

Look, I'm not even a soccer fan. I watch maybe 1.2 or 1.3 games a year, all of those games are Euro and World cup matches. But this big debate continues, and I see alot of poor reasoning coming from Americans. No reasoning would be ok, because this thing doesn't mean a shit. But some go full retard making a full list of things they don't like about soccer, because apparently, they "just don't care". I don't care about soccer either, but I won't try to tell you why. I just really don't care.

Yesterday I found a spanish Euro coin in my wallet, so that probably means that Spain will win.

I don't know who I dislike more. Balotelli or the entire Spanish side.

Guess I'll root for the wops.

They are just so smug about their squad. Hope they lose 5 - 0. And casillas runs off the pitch crying like a wee little girl

Fabregas is awesome, even if he doesn't score he unlocks the defense with a crucial throughball or clever-as-fuck assist of some kind, fucking amazing player. Not really fair he gets lumped up front, he's not a forward, but I do think he's better than Alonso, Silva and .... well those two anyway, needs to start more often.

Italy 1-0 I reckon.

Ballitelli was adopted from Kenya. How does this make him a true Italian? It should be your birth country.

You can't look at it like that. Look at a guy like Arnold, he has been in America for years but should be on team Austria. I guess we could all play for team Africa then

How American or Austrian is Arnold? Does it matter? All of us have mixed blood, esp since the "discovery" of the US in 1492.
It's only a dumb law that say's you're "this" or "that", has nothing to do with the reality (read: evolution).
Sooner or later, all of us have the "latino look".
