The men in blue.

Zidane would make a good cage fighter! Man, I can see the next step in his career!

Finally, some action at the Cup!!

Headbutts to other players should be allowed. That would really change the way the game goes. No more pretending to be injured like a sissy, get some real injuries.

Back to some real sports now.

It’s official,there is no God!

How can anybody believe that we live in a fundamentally just Universe when the Italians win?And you have to say if there is a God then the Universe has to be fundamentally just,because there is no way a benign deity would allow an unjust Universe.

My arguement goes like this:-

a)The Eyeties are cheating bastards.

b)Their domestic football is rotten and many of those players are involved in this win.

c)Grosso scores the winner and he’s the guy who conned the ref with that outrageous dive against Australia and should have beeen banned for life.

d)Eyeties are cynical,cheating bastards.

No deity with even a shred of conscience(or omniscience)could possibly let those bastards win.I was 99% atheist before this,I’m genuinely 100% now.

Yeah right Zidane butts him to the CHEST and the other guy falls to the grounds as if a jackhammer would have crushed his balls. My one year old nephew wouldn’t make such a fuss .
It’s of course unsportsmanlike to do this and Zidane is acting like a fool. Similar things happened to Wayne Rooney.
BUT nontheless:
The world cup 2006 goes to …
The Italien Drama Queens!

Oh God of Football, when did you turn gay? -NTTAW…

to quote a saying ‘you jammy bastards’.

All in all an ‘ugly’ world cup in the knockout stages. What was Zidane thinking? Shame for a great player to go out like that.

An anti climax if ever there was one. I have no emotions towards the outcome and for world event this is rare.

Dissapointing.

Honestly i admit i’m really sorry to have seen “Zizoo” ending his world cup and his career in that “stupid” way…

however, with the same honesty, i have to say that i’m happy to have seen the face of Frogs’s coach when we win the cup :slight_smile:

It looked like pro wrestling. The Italian has a future in acting.

While the whole Italian team actually looked Italian most of the French team looked “African-American”. What is up with that?

I doubt you’ve ever been to France then.

Dude - No other country employs the USA’s pleuralistic views - ie african american, italian american.
They are black guys who happen to be french. Big deal.
Maybe the reason italy have few black players is that its especially racist towards them.

From your other posts I gather that you are some political fanatic that tries to talk soccer and then gives me this “its only a game” shit. So I think you are a fucking idiot and should stick to topics you think you know something about.

Holland lost b/c they scored fewer goals than Potugal, period. I still think that some of the Portugese players, especially Ronaldo, are a bunch of diving pussies and I will tell anyone anywhere at any time.

You are pretty tough on-line knowing full well I would fucking crush your punk ass if you said that to my face. So, I will tell you what, rather than me going to Portugal, I will PM you my address and pay for half the price of your ticket. Let’s discuss in person.

I wrote the message to let you know that I think you dont have shit to contribute to this soccer thread. And your reply tells me that not only I am right about that, I now know you are a fucking moron as well.

Looking at your other posts, it may be better if you stick to the political and religious subjects you post on.

And the next time you want to compare me to a muslim fundamentalist, come tell me to my face and I will give you a first hand reaction.

Look, YOU were the one picking the fight, not me, remember?

Do you really expect to start childish attacks on spelling, or kick people while they are down and NOT get a reaction from their friends?

And why did you then switch to even lower personal attacks – without having even met me in real life? What do you think that accomplishes? Do you believe that makes you look macho?

And why do you, after all that I’ve said, continue to expect that I just walk away and not defend myself?

Finally, do you realize how ridiculous and idiotic do threats of physical violence look over the Internet? You clearly haven’t been involved in that many real fights have you?

You want physical violence? OK, then let’s do this: get on a plane, go to Lisbon, pick any random Portuguese guy and try telling him, in his face, everything you have said about Portuguese people (Nightman, the team, and me) over here. Then let us know what happened. Assuming that you’ll be able to get out of the country in one piece, of course. After that, I’ll be more than happy to pay you a visit, even if you are in a box (or several…).

Hey, I get that you are frustrated with your team’s demise, but your reaction is completely out of line and extremely pointless. Attacking others is definitely not a very constructive way of dealing with one’s misfortune or shortcomings, especially because they just might hit you back.

By the way, I never compared YOU, specifically, to a Muslim fundamentalist. What I said is that soccer fanaticism is not really different from religious fundamentalism; if you actually picked up a dictionary every now and then you’d see the word fan comes originally from the Latin fanum – temple – and basically means “marked by excessive enthusiasm and often intense uncritical devotion”.

The fact that you are doing such a great job of proving that point is not my fault…

They aren’t “African-American,” they are “African-French.” No, they are French people that are black, they come from the trade and all that stuff and now they have lived there and are residents.

Ha ha ha ha… You mean they look African?

I actually thought most of the Italy team looked Italian-American. Ba-Da-Bing…

They come from the trade and all that stuff. Man, where were you educated. Any relative who may have been ‘traded’ was dead many hundreds of years ago.
They are black guys who are french. Simple as that.

no… it’s simply because there were few italian colonies in northern africa in the past… easy :slight_smile:

France still has strict link with ex-colonies, a lot of north africa’s countries have french as 2nd language… so there is a lot of ppl with africa heritage in france

I was just joking. My 7 year old is so indoctrinated with this type of crap at school she asked me about one of the players hair. When I tried to get her to clarify she said the “African-American with the funny hair”.

I told her they are French and not American and it stumped her.

Except that most of the French team isn’t even French. If they get Viera (and isn’t Trezeget Argentine?) we should have been allowed Giggs back when he was good.

Political fanatic? That’s a new one… Hadn’t heard that before. Care to explain what that might be?

Politics is essentially MY JOB, and I just happen to like my job.

Is soccer your job too?

I AM sticking to topics I think I know something about.

Of course, what you REALLY meant was that I should stick to topics YOU think I know something about, but you can’t blame for not really trusting your judgment on that one…

I’m glad we can at least agree on that.

[quote]Amsterdam Animal wrote:

No I don’t. You certainly have absolutely no idea how I look like, or how skilled of a fighter I am. You have no idea of what environment I grew up in. Conversely, I also cannot be absolutely sure if that’s you in your avatar and I certainly do not know how skilled of a fighter you are either – although, as I said before, if you truly had any real experience, you’d know better than posting idle threats of violence over the Internet.

Why should I be wasting my time with you any more than strictly necessary, especially since you were the one throwing the first punch?

You’ll have to provide with some bigger incentive than that.
