Can somebody tell me what the big deal about soccer(football) is?

but the team itself has alot of non-french players or what?

all french yeah, from the colonies or from immigrant backgrounds with 1/2 who cannot sing their national anthem. what a shame. European football is going downhill anyways. Last week Manchester played it' s first game of their whole history w/o one single british player. All they see now is the money.

the only time i was captivated in football (soccer) was for the world championhsip in france 1998.. when we won :) but otherwise i dont give a shit anymore.

anyway talking about hooligans, its amasing to know that the parisian team has a whole bunch of racist supporters. the stadium even has a whole section where all these skinhead/hooligans go and they hail and fight all the time. a campaign started agains racism in stadiums.. once i was walking around close to the stadium after a game and these supporters were throwing bananas at a bunch of scumbags (you know these guys dressed in fluorescent colors and who listen to rap..) and there were tons of cops seperating them. anyway i think there's the same problem for the supporters of the italian team of Alazio.

Yeah, Im pretty much Xenophobic now.

What are the colonies?

well there arent anymore colonies now :p except for little islands scattered around which arent considered as colonies. the older colonies were in north africa especially, in equatorial africa, some in middle east like lebanon, and half of what is now the states and canada and india, but those were taken by the english after they won the 7 years war (or was it 6?) which is the equivalent of what americans call the french and indian war, this war was actually world wide, and especially in europe, but all over the colonies too. anyway immigrants mostly come from these older colonies cause they learnt the language there. england had the biggest colonial empire as you must know, one third of the worlds population lived under english domination at the hight of their power, france was next.. hence these countries are the most touched by immigration.
thats for the historical note :)
 
Screw other sports....HOCKEY is where it's at. Canada kicks all your asses and makes up for our crappiness in football, soccer, baseball, basketball, tennis...and virtually every other sport except golf. And golf is kick ass as well...And Canada ain't not bad at it with Mike Weir....

Hockey's the shit. THe only reason why you won the game against sweden two years is because you got the bimbo bonus. HAHA! CANADA HAS BLACK PLAYERS INTHEIR TEAM! They don't belong in this game. Aye or nay?
 
I had a funny experience in a Taxi in Paris once. The driver was african, but his name was Bernadotte right, so he was all "Je ma pelle Bernadotte ugabug, ugabuga mi relativé con el rey del Swede, ugabugga..." or something. The guy seriously thought he was related to the king of Sweden.

ACtually that's what an old russian lady told me. anyway, what do you mean? I'v been around, so...

btw. I take your post as a nay

It really wasnt based on that post alone, but is everything a race issue with you? When I go out to cons, to drink, to see a show; the first thing on my mind isnt what color everyone is.

Actaully, I dont know why I talking to you about this. It must be the Robotussin.

Soccer still sucks
