I take it seriously because almost everybody here does nothing but slag my team off, even the Italian-Americans who say they don't support the US. People such as Seven say we played like immature little "kids" when in actuality he adores players such as Totti and De Rossi on the Azzurri, people such as Badass whateverhispatheticnameis calls Americans pussies, and people such as Elvin gives us another moment of brilliance and calls Americans idiots. There has been a long history of intolerance towards Americans on this forum, as in many other aspects of life. So when I log on here and see people bashing my team without restraint, not giving an unbiased report on the proceedings of the match, of course I'm going to take it seriously..
Some posters such as yourself do not fit into this group I'm talking about, however you have to say most Azzurri fans that posted in the Italia thread were being biased. Seven himself even stated Italy were clearly the better team, but then again he's a prototypical hypocrite and certainly not Mr. Objectivity. Italy fans such as yourself and Fabiana know what you're talking about, and I applaud you for that and like hearing your opinions. But when the majority of the forum is seemingly against me, talking rubbish that is oh so common in discussions that involve the United States, of course I'm going to take it seriously..
Other American posters have left this board because of the the ill-feelings towards us, and I was close to leaving as well before. But I figured I would stick through it and just be a fucking pain in the ass.
Just please understand where I'm coming from and know why it seems I'm out to get people on this board.
