Discussion 2006 FIFA WORLD CUP

Re: WORLD CUP

While I was at Sears the other day waiting for the worker to finalize delivery info on our new Refrigerator, I caught a little bit of the Brazil-France game while watching it on one of these huge HD TVs. I'm not much of a soccer fan, but that game was just so colorful, it was kinda easy on the eyes, and I had nothing to do.

I kept waiting for Brazil to do something stunning, but they never did.

Congrats to France I guess. Even a complete soccer n00b like me knewthat Brazil was one of the big guns in that sport.

Oh wow, lets celebrate...
Wait, the end?!

France played really well against Brazil, but I don't think Brazil was at their best...
Germany has a good chance to win this year, they have the whole country on their side, so that means the "hypeness" is different from the rest. Germany'll be at their 110 percent... xP

Portugal has a good chance too..

Re: WORLD CUP

Now you say we are a plague? And stupid people? Oh no... I better just control myself and stop hanging out here.
I can accept bashing my team, but when you start messing with people and my country...
Bye.

See, saying things like "we" doesn't help. I said there are some people who exagerate where I live when their soccer team wins, and they happen to be italian. I have nothing against you or italians, but certain people just go overboard. Why do you have to make other people waste their time on a hot summer day in traffic ? If you want to celebrate, then go ahead, just don't stay in the middle of the streets and start raising huge italian flags from one end of the street to the other...your bothering police officers, normal people for simply your own pleasure.

This behaviour is probably normal in Europe, but where I live(where not everyone watches the world cup, yeah crazy world wtv ) it gets everyone in a bad mood and so a lot of people start bashing on italians, and doing stupid stuff like picking fights with them and bullying them. Wear italian clothes, thats cool, but don't disturb people by making noise at 3am in the morning when your coming back from a party after every game...

Anyways, Italians are a fine people in general, so let's not generalize them in negative ways. That goes for all other countries.

Re: WORLD CUP

@ Rampage: I had a feeling it was something like that, but you do realize you started directly addressing rykar as somebody who did that as well?

That's exactly what you said people shouldn't do: generalizing.

Anyway, it's best to be very careful when you make comments like that, because this is an international community, and while words won't break any bones, it sure creates for a lot of misunderstandings.

Let's be civil here, alright?

Re: WORLD CUP

Yes, yes m'lord, we are in dangerous territory indeed, but some people just look for trouble when they have no reason to. That frustrates me so I start saying words like "you" and "your". I would take it back if I could.

Re: WORLD CUP

Just use "one" instaed and your posts will not contain this much "dynamite".

I just hope that tomorrow will pass by peacefully. I hope that the fans from the losing team (may it be Germany or Italy) will stay calm.
Friends of mine go to Dortmund to watch the game publically but I'll stay at home although it's only some km away from my home. I'm a little sissy when it comes to such huge crowds.

Re: WORLD CUP

Half time. A proper semi-final, yes! Italy are just edging for me, though both teams are going for it. Am pleased with the Ref. Not letting pressure get to him, keeping his cool and being fair.

Re: WORLD CUP

Hard to admit, but because of an opportunity at work, I made a bet at football, that Germany will win this match.
Hard to admit, because I don't gamble usually ....... but if you can gain money for free ....

Sorry to our eager Italy fan - ryka.
