Titolo: Re: Serious question for non USians

 nationalities.
I am Italian but have lived in the US for several years since
attending a top NCAA DI college team so I am a strong supporter of the
US soccer movement. The reality is that most people in Europe and
South America are completely clueless about the level of improvement
of the sport, especially at youth level. People in Italy still tease
me about playing in the US (although ignoring the fact that DI college
soccer is better than its counterpart anywhere in the World). I
remember this type of behavior when the US played Italy at both the
U20 and U17 World Cup in 2005 and to some extent at last year World
Cup (remember De Rossi's uncalled elbowing?). The truth is that for
many people around the World soccer was the ONLY one thing that made
them feel superior to the US, the most powerful country in the World.
Now that is not the case anymore and we witness sore losers behavior
everytime any US national team beats one of these "soccer countries".
It's especially frustrating to them because soccer remains in those
countries the number one sport (where most top athletes compete) while
in the US only the fourth or fifth (with the top athletes competing in
American Football, Basketball and Baseball).

 them feel superior to the US, the most powerful country in the World.
Texas...i have at least a thousand reason that make me feel superior
to US...
Having money earned with blood wouldn't make me feel superior.
Evidently that's not the same for everybody. But after all if
everybody thought the same way, world would be so boring! So i respect
your opinion but i think you should be a bit less narrow minded when
writing here.
Bye again!

Americans work really hard for their money, unlike most Europeans. And
it shows in the country's economy!
I am not sure what are you trying to imply, but if it wasn't for
Amerian heroes' blood, you would be speaking German. THAT YOU MUST
REMEMBER AND NEVER STOP THANKING THEM FOR IT.
If you have other reasons "to feel superior" (whatever they may
be:perhaps not shaving, or taking less showers a week, etc), then
please don't act like a sore loser everytime you don't beat the US in
soccer.

I  really dont know if your relatives don't shave or if your mum takes
less than one shower a week...i have a nice really cured beard and i
shower everyday, in summer also twice a day. And please, stop whining
with this 2nd world war story....Anericans cannot continue forever to
do what do they want around the world just because what they did. It
is not ain infinite credit for them. But i am not talking about war,
this topic is out of the discussion.
Just try not to do your usual stupid and narrow minded arguments with
me. :) It doesn't work.

Listen...i cannot tell you about all Europeans, coz i don't think i
have a database of all people who live here and how do they earn
money. What i can say is that my mum and my dad have always been
working honestly and hard, and have let 3 children to grow up in the
best way and to study and to create a their own life..I don't think
your analysis in economy is deep and real, you're talking as always
with stereotypes, but i cannot expect much more than that. I was
talking wrong actually in the previous post. I don't feel superior to
anybody...on the opposite. I just feel lucky of what i have, i feel
happy for what's nice in my country and i feel angry for the million
things that are not working here. U know what's ur problem? I am
honest to accept what's not working in Italy and in Europe
generally...i think that even a blind man can notice that. But when
you're talking about USA, it's like paradise, everything is perfect
and nothing is bad. I don't think your argument can be objective..at
all :)
It would be cool to talk to you when you don't have to be a flame here
and when you're talking normally, coz i am sure u just have fun here.
Maybe next time i go to usa we can drink a coffee together and talk as
friends.
Bye :)
