@Bjerknes Enlighten me. It must have been before my time, or during my period of inactivity.

 

[AFL_ITALIA]

Well that was a fun last few pages.

Spoiler

 

[Bianconero81]

@AFL_ITALIA just out of curiosity, it Italy and the US do meet, who are you supporting?

 

[AFL_ITALIA]

I don't and have an existential crisis . But they only face each other like once a decade anyway, if even that.

I believe they have played quite a few times within the past decade if we're talking about the same thing

 

[Ragazza]

Really, who the fuck cares who someone supports & why? I don't understand why people get so worked up about it, it's not like it affects you.

It affects my core being and my livelihood itself

Increasingly yes since the United States is continually improving, but even so the last time that really mattered was back in 2006.

Sucks yo.

I love how Bjerknes still thinks everyone cares about his opinion regarding this matter

 

[Fred]

So anybody here actually planning to attend the WC in Brazil? Who's definitely going?

@Elvin,

I'm planning to.

I attended the last WC and I had the time of my life, so if I could help it, I wouldn't miss this one for anything.

 

[Elvin]

Lucky bastard you!

I imagine Rio de Janeiro to be the world's greatest place during that month.

I'm starting to plan it now. Ya Rio will be pretty hectic during that month. You thinking of going?

I do. I'm with Bjerknes on this one. I'd support my own country no matter how shitty of a team it had, luckily i was born in Brazil.

And it's pretty simple, really. If Italia wins you won't see Germans in Germany celebrating, why should they? The title would be for the Italians and the Italians alone. Clubs have already lost their identity a long time ago thanks to globalization, but not national teams(It will pretty soon though). They still represent their country and it's people and that's the way it should be.

I mean seriously, how can you support a country when you don't even speak it's language? I mean wtf? There's a big difference between having a soft spot and actually support like it's own country, i have a soft spot for Italy and Croatia but were they to win i wouldn't celebrate, i have no right to.

unfortunately I have poor friends and no girlfriend

 

[Fred]

unfortunately I have poor friends and no girlfriend

My exact same problem

I'm struggling to find people to go with me, thats the only thing that might stop me going. The people I know who are well off are not really people I want to go with, and those I want to go with are poor fuckers.

But man, it costs a fucking fortune, if I do end up going, I'm going to be broke as fuck for a while.
