    Absolutely I am. Thanks for asking. Unfortunately I'm only one man and it's tough to fight a battle on both the political and entertainment front in America today as both need changes made but yes I would like to see sweeping changes on that front re. how Latinos are portrayed. You're talking to the wrong dude about that.
    P.S. I don't have to worry about myself or change myself because I know I don't hold those perceptions of Latin people nor resort to crappy stereotypes about them or asian people. Go argue with someone else about that bro.

    Time for the battle to face Japan...as opposed to earlier today when they were probably thinking it might be better to end up in second place in the group lol.
    I think England will rue their weak midfield as a 2nd unit Belgian midfield and squad is still stronger than the English team. Gotta go with Belgium in this one.

    No argument just reminding people that everyone does what Latino's are being "accused" of doing just in different ways. Latinos are not more or less racists, there just like everyone else.

    Man, I don't think anyone needed to be reminded of that. I doubt anyone thinks Latinos are more racist or culturally insensitive than all the other races-white, black, asian, all have racial or culturally insensitive things they do that need to be dealt with or are being dealt with. All have problems.

    So the German brehs on here, any confirmation as to the accusations from the Swedish coach about Germany taking the piss/mocking them during the match?
    Why the animosity from the Swedes?

    So if it ends in a draw, who wins the group? I haven't checked on the permutations regarding the match.

    The video is pretty clear -- I don't think he was congratulating the Swedes on a well played match.

    England and Spain certainly got the better sides of the bracket. It's also a good position for a dark horse like Croatia.

    Weird day without a game.

    Also I never understood why people made fun of smaller, almond eyes.

    Nature just made it so to weather a sandstorm.

    Mexico have Indios and those are of Asian descent.

    Not sure if anyone on here heard or watched already but FOX Sports and Sky Sports (Same Murdoch orgs I guess) both followed several young players from various countries over the past 2 or 3 years. End result was the show "PHENOMS". Several episodes of it and they aired before the World Cup began. If you missed it, here are links to a few episodes. You can stream or download



    GERMANY

    Dele Alli and Jack Butland are in this one


    USA

    Kellyn Acosta is in this one and they go behind the scenes with the US team during WCQ and especially the loss at T&T


    IRELAND/SCOTLAND/WALES
    https://oload.download/embed/SMs8iwlpecA/

    SPAIN
    https://oload.download/embed/K_rWgke0gMI/

    They follow and interview Inaki as well as Marco Asencio, Saul Niguez and Denis.

    My bad I missed that.

    German brehs, any idea who that was on the German staff that decided to antagonize the Swedes?
