WTF?

team usa is made up of white people from a country that dal hates with a passion....why are you shocked by this?


I, for one, an less than shocked by this and his revelation he is going to cheer for an all black team.

I really wish he would move out of the country if he thinks he has it that bad here.


The world would be better off if people like dal no longer existed

My ppl did just as much for the creation of this country as yours if not more MUCH MORE !!!! I have a right to root for any country I want.

[clenz]

I never said anything about that.

It's pretty clear that you hate this country with a passion and yearn to go back to your motherland.

I'd like to see you do it.

And that's reason enough to celebrate the victory of one country over your own?

[MSUDuo]

Beasley, Altidore, Johnson, Howard, Pope, Edu....all white US soccer players.

Great night for US soccer - onto Brazil (assuming things hold up in Honduras, but even if not, it's still inevitable).

I, and pretty much 99.99999% of people in America, do as well.


The fact you can't move past shit that ended 150 years ago, shit you never went through, shit non of your offspring (or anyone born after 1970) will ever have to deal with is the issue.

No one on the board had anything to do with the travesties that took place at that time. Almost none of us have ancestors that date back to that time and place in American history. None of us are responsible for what our ancestors may have done.

My family came over during a time that German people were some of the most persecuted people in the nation (along with the Polish and Irish). Both sides of my family have to change the spelling/pronunciation of our surnames to avoid further persecution. I did a massive family tree on both sides of my family about a year and a half ago - I found 5 different spellings of my mothers side surname and 9 of my fathers side...along with about 10 of each of the other surnames in the family tree...all between 1856 when my family first landed in America and 1880ish when my mothers side settled in Iowa and my dads in Minnesota. Had my families not changed their German names they would have never gotten jobs, never gotten housing, never gotten anything. Hell, there are comfirmed reports of German's and Irish being lynched to death just because they were German and Irish.

Later in American history, just as German hatered was starting to settle about 1910-1915ish guess what started? Yep...WW1 and WW2. Japanese get a lot of the press for internment camps, but a ton of German's were thrown in internment camps during that time. Hell, here is a map of German-American camps



It was better to be a black American in that time that German of Japanese American.

My aunt came across a couple letters from family sometime during the 1870s and a couple from WW2 time period that my grandfather kept...all of them state, to some extent, that they would rather be a "negro than a German" because while the African Americans were slaves they were allowed housing, food, and work...If it was found out they were German they'd be lynched just like the African Americans, but would have housing taken from them, be banned from going into any shops, getting jobs, etc...

Many German, Irish, Polish immigrants fucking envied slaves during the late 1800's...fucking think about that.

Good post Clenzenwaffenstadt.

Hey, does this game tonight mean the US doesn't suck at soccer any more?

I tried to watch the game the US was up 1-0 with about 30 minutes left, but one of our guys went down, started rubbing his nose, and then gesturing wildly at the ref to try to get a penalty for this horrible tragedy of a Mexican player bumping into his nose.

I just can't take the sport seriously. I'll try again when the World Cup starts. That's about all I can take. That's when the chick spectators start wearing bikinis or body paint only, right?

Has soccer ever considered a shot clock or a three-point line? That game needs more excitement.
