I'd rather not qualify than lose in the round of 32 with a starting 11 that includes Joao FAILix, Samu Costa, Ruben Neves, and Antonio Silva. All for Jorge Mendes and his money.
For the Toronto diaspora this is their karma for running us down in the 90s. But I'd like them to make the next one. This is more than enough suffering for a fan base.
lol group is now Canada, Switzerland, Bosnia, and Qatar. Gotta be the worse group stage of all time. 48 teams qualifying is dumb.
Yon guys ready for your starting CB at the World Cup? Mendes has to make his money and this piece of shit needs to be sold. https://streamain.com/MtiAY48qOeWhOLK/watch
What was there to learn? There would have been something Italians did wrong in the summer of '94 other than support their team. If it wasn't you partaking in it, it's not a thing.
You clowns all ran your mouths to us for over a decade and now use Brazil as your excuse. Sit down and sit out.
Don't come on here and try to change what really happened. You may fool folks here who are mostly Americans who have no idea what we're discussing. We all know what happened --some Portuguese in Toronto were waving Portuguese flags throughout Brasil's win in 1994 and everybody mocked them for it. Other Portuguese people didn't know why they were doing it. Why weren't any other groups mocked? Because they didn't engage in the bullshit portuguese in the GTA did. I knew a portuguese guy that actually went to the old Speakers Corner to address it because he was so embarrassed. Wierd thing to do if you didn't do nothing wrong. Obviously happened before the internet was a thing. An excerpt from a canada soccer fan.... https://www.canadiansoccernews.com/topic/55611-post-stuff-here-so-i-have-something-read-thread/ What a strange 19 Year Old comment from a Canada fan if it never happened: i still remember celebrations after world cup 94 in toronto, where portuguese flags were being waved in the streets after brazils win- thats got dumb-ass written all over it.
What Jealousy? Our? I'm not Italian. I was raised on Italian football through and through, however. I don't think Italians in Toronto are jealous of Portuguese in Toronto. For as much those at the top are killing the Italian game causing 3 absences, they have still participated in exactly double the amount of tournaments Portugal has.
The jealousy runs far deeper than football. And pretty pathetic that the context of your perspective is of a history people werent around for vs the history I personally lived through. But since you now admit you know nothing of the matter (which explains a lot) why don't you save further embarrassment and see your way out.
