Pretty fun you guys celebrating 2nd, 3rd and 4th places, and rightfully so. Here in Brazil 2nd place is like all raaaaaaaaaage why did we lose! :lol

Yeah its good to see this. Being at the World Cup itself is a huge honour. I hate punk nations who won't celebrate their team if they don't get past the quarters or whatever.

Spain is seen as such a racist country in Brazil that none, I mean NONE of my friends would ever set foot there (I actually asked as I'm planning a backpack trip around Europe)

Go to Spain and show your friends the truth. Spain is as racist as every other country in Europe, or even less.

Spaniards are very tolerant. Abortion is completely legal as same-sex marriage (2005).
 
Yeah, and my friends who got to Ireland on summer to learn english were warned about a day on which stupid teenagers hunted spanish people. Spain specially racist my ass...

Anyway I don't think chanting like monkeys it's racism, specially when your own team has several black players. It's just disgusting but it's like yelling at those bald, insulting the referee, etc... People just do stupid things in the most obvious way, because most people has little imagination to insult in an original way. Black people can be easily insulted in an obvious way, just like those bald, just like those short in size, just like those a little overweight...

People is way more stupid than racist, because loving etoo and being racist with henry just don't make sense.

PS: For the brazilian guy. I work on a company who has an office in brazil, and we work together with 200 brazilians, and are quite happy, as well as they are with us.

PS2: People also tend to be more clasist than racist in spain. I know very very few people who is actually racist in Spain.

this.

If you put in google <enter here any contry in the world> with the word racism, you have a lot of entries (with holland too). You can catalogue an entire nation with the crap things that a minority make.

We have 2 black players in the last years in our national soccer team (Senna and Donato). Is a bit silly to disrespect your own team players ...

And the quote that says we "bribe" the ref :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

I just read that the Uruguay team will give out all their prize money from the WC to a new fundation "Fundacon celeste" in order to help his country develop.

Fucking awesome.

Ha ha Mexico went down seven positions.


.... :(


Tied with S Africa(was 83 now 66) and lost to ARG 3-1 and Uru. If it wasn't for the win against France the drop would have been double digit.


:( indeed.


Seriously looking forward to that friendly with Spain next month. I hope they send at least some of the A team

You should watch the Africa Cup, amazing team. Too bad they didn't qualify.

Also props to Holland for 2nd place, I'm proud.

Well for that reason alone, they shouldn't be anywhere near top 10.

So being tolerant of gay marriage and abortion means a country can't be racist? Come on.
As the other thread says, lots of European countries are having severe issues with racism. Spain just has a more pronounced history of it.

FIFA rankings make me sad :(

a progressive goverment does not equal a progressive people.

voting Left Wing in Europe does not mean you are a progressive,
voting Left Wing in Europe just means you want +social programs and softy safety nets

If a country is being progressive in civil rights, it's a signal of a tolerant country. Tolerant people are less likely to be racist. It's not a consequence, but a correlation.
 
Was away on holidays so didn't get to post until now my complete joy that Spain one,
and the picture of torres with the liverpool scarf around his neck whilst holding the world cup made my day

So the Germans have said that England's "goal" being disallowed is fine and acceptable as it was simply karma for the Russian Linesman Incident in '66. Well said Germany, and on a similar note I have opened a wonderfully legitimate new recreational shower chamber that 6 million of you should pop along to, free of charge, and discuss the ins and outs of your karma theory.
jesus christ

Truth is that Spain is historically intolerant with jews, due to decades of massive stupidity and dictatorship (Franco was specially nuts on jews) Obviously old people is still brainwashed, but young generations don't give a damn about jews.

On the other hand we are one of the most muslim-tolerant coutries in europe (By far), and also regarding foreign workers (Taking into account the massive amount of those we have, and how long have they been in the country, which is the key issue for racism)

Also we are quite open about religious (Truth be told 70% of spain never goes to any church so basically we don't give a damn) or sexual diversity, which is not racism per se, but have basically has the same stupidity index.

All in all... most religiously intolerant, racist and homofobic people in spain are those old enough to be brainwashed by the dictatorship which teached to hate jews, go to the church and hunt the gays.

Don't worry, they're gonna kick the bucket soon :lol
