Granted, Netherland have one of the better if not best youth academy out there so I'm really looking forward to what they bring out for the next euro.

My favorite was when JR shouted "YOU SON OF A BITCH! WHY?! TELL ME WHY!!!" Still an honorable mention to "Oh, somebody stop the damn match! Enough's enough." Last edited by KiraYamatoFan; 2014-07-09 at 22:59. |

The Brazilian fans will be supporting Germany overwhelmingly - most of them would root for Al Qaeda if they were in a match with Argentina. Of course Argentina will have a sizeable contingent of their own fans, larger than Germany, but the Brazilians who bought tickets will probably support Germany by at least 20-1.

I thought about whether to put this in the regular football thread, but given that the 1-7 mauling of Brazil is still fresh on everyone's minds, I figured the clip could belong here.

That makes me wonder if Argentinian and Brazilian superstars need so badly that king of attention to the point FIFA's PR machine keep rooting for these guys. I can't recall the last time the worldwide media are praising (virtually ass-kissing) that much for someone who is not South American. I would love it if the next FIFA poster boy can be German, Dutch or French for a change.

More often than not, these superstar media treatment are more for commercial reason than player/nation ego. Messi and Brazil is an easy brand to sell.

well, its also a team vs solo player mentality. ronaldo is the closest comparison for a european player. europe normally doesn't produce players who can do ridiculous dribbles, and those who can normally don't make runs like that.

I was asking that because every time I see media attention shifting towards certain individuals, it's more often than not towards an Argentine or a Brazilian. There are top quality players coming from more than just from those 2 countries. I hope nobody will tell me that it's not sexy if it's not South American. |
