Officially the second most humiliating German retreat from Russia.

Actually there are more whites in Brazil than in most of Europe. More than half of its population are white. You don’t see many whites playing football because they’re usually not as good as the mixed players.

What?

How do you fill out your census if it’s illegal to put down race then?

There is no census in Belgium. There's no need to either, because everyone is registered for other reasons anyway. But race is not ever mentioned on any official document. Nor is it something you have to fill in when you apply for a job, apply for social housing, apply for whatever..

I'm not saying there is no racism, there definitely is. But in official documents race simply does not exist.

"My prediction for the World Cup? It's hard to say, but I think Italy and Holland have a good chance of winning it,"

Good one Schweini

Yeah, dudes... aiming for The Simpson's Final of course...

What?

I'm sure he means purely in numbers rather than percentage of population.

That makes it even weirder.

And why are we boasting about the number of whites in our country?

Hmm interesting. I’m not against collecting data on race as the more data the better but we are getting to the point where more people are mixed race so maybe eventually it becomes completely irrelevant

I'm not sure what I think about it. I was very confused when I entered the US for the first time though. I didn't even know which race I had to fill in. Had to ask for help to understand I was Caucasian.

Still wrong

1990 wtf?? 94 was a thousand times better.

Yeah. 94 was amazing. Possibly my favourite world cup. 12 of the 15 knockout round games were decided by a single goal or penalties.

Baggio going off in the knockout rounds with 5 goals in 3 games. Still remember the 2-1 Italy win over Nigeria. Was incredible.

Or Brazil 3-2 over Netherlands with Bebeto and Romario just killing it.

Stoichkov taking Bulgaria to the SFs. Sweden being damn good.

Have you ever been to Western Europe? Serious question.

 

[B3N]

I like the team too, they can be fun to watch and their players are hard working. But their fans are on par with Turks but with added arrogance, and I can't stand to see people like that happy.

she's obviously never talked football with a Mexican.

Im not, I couldn’t give two shits how many whites are in Brazil. I’m just saying that what most people know of Brazil doesn’t always represent the whole country, and it’s a big ass country the size of a continent.

What does that even mean?

France, Britain, Germany and Benelux have ~200 million combined
