yea apartheid was stopped but SA is still one of the most incredibly racist places on earth still. You can't just change the attitudes of a large swathe of people by banning a football team.magma wrote:You can't stop people being racist/nationalistic idiots without raising them up out of poverty, but you can easily stop them taking their attitudes with them around the world in "support" of the national football team. Croatia would pretty quickly start restricting travel for known racists if they knew that their team was being hampered by them.garethom wrote:You really believe people would stop being racist/nationalistic idiots because a football team was kicked out of a tournament?magma wrote:If UEFA made a big enough fuss and disqualified a team, this sort of thing would stop *overnight*.
We managed it pretty effectively with our fans in the 80s and 90s... excluding South Africa from International Sport even had a surprisingly large effect on them getting rid of apartheid!

Should of played on in that rain. They did in Switzerland this time 4 years ago with the Turks and Czechs and that was an epic game! Personally would of relished playing in those conditions and I play in net!

Except for when one of the players gets hit by lightning

Re: The SNH Football thread
Think the odds on that happening will be very very low. Donetsk have a brand new stadium which will be built with lot of lightening receivers to prevent that happening

Just noticed Greece will most likely play Germany in the quarter finals. Should be fun considering the eurocrisis and all that :p

Gutted for the Poles tonight... was watching with my man Kev and his Polish fiance... there was more spirit on our living room than in their changing room by the looks of the performance.

Yeah! Especially after that first game. What a tournament.wub wrote:Still in shock that Russia are out...honestly thought they were going to be a semi final bothering dark horse.
I'm still pissed about Holland's non-event. However, it wasnt
unpredictable considering they have a relatively shit defence.
The balance in the team is crap and the selfishness of Robben
is actually astounding. He should never play for us again.

Looking forward to the Portugal - Ned game.
Ned have to get a win for ANY chance of getting through...
Ronny has to perform for ANY chance of people thinking he's as good as Messi.
Which he isn't.

For me Ronaldo showed his true self tonight. He was everywhere. How he didn't bag a hattrick I will never know. Actually I do... 1) The post and to an extent 2) Nani is a fucking selfish tnuc. (although a great assist for the 2nd goal)
Viva Ronaldo
Viva Ronaldo
