I think I found my new sig
I tried to watch a little ESPN for the first day's matches, side-by-side with the Univision coverage. That's all it took before I slapped myself and thought, "Did you expect anything less?"
I don't even know 80% of what those guys are saying in Spanish, and it's still 10x more entertaining and more accurate information than I can get off of ESPN. No annoying continuous "crawl", either, with updates of the ass-crack scratching lineup for the coming Pirates-Cardinals game blocking my view of large chunks of the pitch.
ESPN=soccer wannabe
All those Disney weasels should stick to the log rolling contests.

I don't even so much see it as disrespect for Kaká as much as I see it as complete disrespect for any culture that talks differently than yours.
It's not exactly a compelling demonstration of our leadership potential for the free world when our public-facing grasp of the world is reduced to sophomoric scatalogical jokes.
"Dude! Pull my finger!"
Who's the real Beavis and Butthead, really?

Actually the American system did the following for me:
My father arrived at 16 with his brothers..barely able to speak the language and despite being a top student in Italy he realized that the European system of "WHO you know" will only get him so far....what he knew was worthless...
Fast forward 30 years later where he and his brothers now owned vast amounts of real estate and were able to go back to Italy: to buy a vacation home...on top of that he was able to put his sons through Ivy league schools or where ever they wished and never denied them a single trip, vacation, soccer ball or childhood memory..meanwhile my cousins in Italy eagerly met us at the airport as kids asking "what did you bring me back"
America made me able to spend years on end overseas following around my favorite football club...Forza Azzurri yes but GOD BLESS THIS LAND above all....he who has the will to work will reap the benefits...not many nations coudl say that
Rape that douche

You seriously believe that ANYONE who has the will to work will reap the benefits in your country? Check again, as pay checks in the US can be ridiculously low when compared to European ones. No, Nick, your father just got lucky, the American Dream holds no truth whatsoever.When exactly did I say Belgium didn't exploit Congo? I'm sorry but I can't remember that. In fact I think any Belgian will instantly admit that. The US a young nation? Perhaps, but it's also supposed to be the most developed one. If a country wants to be the police of the world, it'd better have some high moral standards. Or do you seriously believe Guantanamo would be possible in Switzerland?
One of the most common jokes here about Southern Europeans.
BTW, Erik, a study has been done in Scandinavia to see which countries get along most with each other and who are most likely to function along the same line when grouped in a union. The countries were Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Holland and guess which other country?
Yes, you guessed right, Canada.

Actually I guessed Iceland
BTW Holland? We're nothing like you. Our public transport sucks compared to Stockholm

But it is not only about public transportation. I don't like Stockholm's subway
You should see the 13 tram lines in Gothenburg. Gothenburg, where I live, is a city that was founded by Dutchmen by the way.
