i'm sure because nobody who isn't really cares about brazil.

football fans pretty much always like england or italy.

you do not know much about football, do you?

sorry?

i haven't met anyone doing that ever, so i'm sure i'd find it funny.
perhaps more disturbing than funny.
but still.

you know i'm talking about canada right?


nobody knows much about football when it's not the world cup

and brazil is just not one of the two bandwagon teams.

most canadian people i meet go for england or italy, the italy ones are usually the worst.

but if it's not the world cup, it's not very fashionable to wear colourful "soccer" stuff on a daily basis.

just italy bandwagon jumpers and immigrants keep that shit up year round.

football is simply not very popular the rest of the time (and during the world cup, telling people that you don't care about it, is probably more popular than the event)


although i'm sure the brasil bandwagon here during the next world cup will be overwhelming

but most frquently the canadian guy who spent an entire pay cheque on "soccer" gear a week before the world cup, likes england or italy, and if he likes england he'll only wear it a few times.

you simply don't get any fashion points here for that, people don't like "soccer" here most of the time, and the only good hockey player who was born in brasil was actually just the son of some canucks spreading the word of jesus


i think i'm rambling, but showing that you care about international football is generally "uncool" in this area

i was sadly in canada, when this greatest act of footballing occurred, and surrounded by italians too so i couldn't express my overwhelming emotionalness and stuff

 

down with materazzi

[knox]

let us just clarify two things:

- nobody cares about hockey.
- when it comes to football, only one country has won the world cup five times (and probably never again) and has been in every world cup ever. Italy I can kind of understand, but if they're wearing England shirts they're kind of doing it wrong.

these things are not unclear

nobody in coldland really cares about that world cup from the 50s. i think even 1994 has probably faded from memory now.

interest in football is not built to withstand temperatures of thirty degrees below zero.


brasil is on earth. my region is getting ready to take off for the ice planet hoth within the next month

in space, nobody cares about "soccer" unless it's the only thing on tv

[knox]

what do you mean from the 50s?
1994? 2002?
pffft.
go skate on ice.

i mean the one from the fifties duh.

with football so many innocent poor people get hurt

in hockey we usually keep the violence limited to the athletes, they can afford new teeth every week

that just makes a classier pass time

the beautiful game

eth·no·cen·trism n.1. Belief in the superiority of one's own ethnic group.
2. Overriding concern with race.

William G Sumner might not agree with that definition. But all he did was invent the word, so who cares?

Anyway, I don't internet argue. You're smart and sharp and I've got no beef.

BTW: if you're from Brazil, or are Portuguese, and I have offended you in some way- I apologize.

[knox]

I'm both and you can't offend me.
