doubt that it was 40 years ago, but other than that you are right, but it's because of your cultural mixture, and the amount of black people you got in your country

furthermore Italy is probably the most ******ed country in the world when it comes to fan culture, they got the most problems with hooligans

here in the northwest (seattle area) everyone is so passive aggressive and worried about making anyone offended at any time, its kinda funny how different it is.

There are instances where wearing an opposition football shirt can get someone in trouble. This whole thread is full of stereotypes on both sides. That's like me saying if i flash my hand the wrong way or wear red in the wrong neighbourhood in Cali, a homie will bust a cap in my ass!

He cracks everyone up. He was a bit of a joke but loved by most before he ran for Mayor, and even then people found it hard to take him seriously tbh. But now we do lol.

And as for 'random attacks' most of the stabbings have been gang related and those which werent were consequeces of big arguements between two groups which got out of hand.

Funny about the football thing though, football holigans have been surpressed to such an extent they barely operate anymore, and when they do operate they simply arrange fights with other football holigans. They dont set on fans for wearing the other teams colours, not often at least.

sorry for posting in this stupid thread but had to set the record straight

Whatever, I remember Spanish fans were making monkey noises any time some black French players touched the ball in a game a few years ago, I remember it got some pub. Most of Europe is much more racist than America.

Also, saying "brag: not an american" is just a totally ******ed thing to say. People who say ******ed **** like that obviously have no idea what it's like to be an American. If you think that not having to pay taxes on poker winnings is one of the big selling points of a country, then you are in fact an 80 IQ mouthbreather.

Oh dear. Although I agree with you to a certain extent, there are certain occasions where it is blindingly obvious that a poster on a poker forum is stupid. In this case it is you Ihatelosing.

Brad Freidel and Brian Mcbride are both pretty average players they wouldn't get in any decent team in England. Haven't even heard of the other fella.

I live in England and can't wait to move to America.

USA> UK

It's pretty hypocritical when Brits complain about the US government (or the US in general when too lazy to make a distinction between the two) when our government is a authoritarian anti-freedom socialist pro-war **** heap full of the top 1% of wealthy privately educated douchebags where we don't have a proper constitution/ bill of rights and have to pay for a ****ing monarchy!

Culture wise, and actually in almost every respect, I think the US has us trumped.
