Zidane is as French as they come....Algeria was once a French North African colony, hence the fact that many French emigrated there. Zidane was born to FRENCH parents in Algeria...it's the same as England's Hargreaves.....born in Canada to English parents...or me...born in England to one Canadian parent and one English parent. Same crap...it doesn't make Zidane Arab...it makes him French.:D
But let's get back to my original point...I notice nobody will debate the validity of Campbell's goal (since it was, in fact, a ing legitimate goal)...you just go on about how they're beaten. Cry me a river indeed....the injustice of UEFA is proven once again. But at least England can go down gracefully and admit that it was not their best effort. There is no clear winner on penalty kicks...it's just luck. But it's all done now....Portugal will not make it past the semis...let's go Dutch and Swedes. |

Zidane was born in the north part of Marseille to Algerian parents, Zidane is not as French as them come nor is 95% of les Blues. Zidane has nothing in common to the little knob shiner of Whoregreavs, may he rot in hell. Zidane is a pride of nation, his status is above Chirac’s in France, he’s got a God like status everywhere. He’s evidently a legend in Algeria as he’s a star of a country that has oppressed his parent’s homeland. Zizou has single-handedly eased the intense hatred between many French and the Maghreb. It’s a bit too much of a sophisticated story for the slew of part-time football fans that Euro or the WC seem to churn out every odd year in Canada in general, not solely on these forums.
To go back to the little douche bag of Owen Whoregreaves, I’ll name you two dozens of people in 2 seconds who’d hung him by the balls if he ever stepped on a field in Canada. His dad is a brit, his mother is Welsh, the Juda was born in Calgary and learned his football on CANADIAN soil. He wore the Canadian shirt when he was 2 years younger than his age category (u16 I believe it was), and as all Canadians who want to make it head to Europe, he did teh same by opting for the deutsch powerhouse Bayern M… Over the years he started declining the invitation for the Nats and he opted to play for WALES, he was eligible because of his mother’s side… A few years late little Whoregreaves was of age to be capped by an A-selection, just when Canada needed a midfield anchorman to undertake the WC qualification campaign, but the little Calgary man kept on making excuses… to make the long story short, once Eriksson discovered the Whore is eligible to play for the three lions, he sent him an invitation the Canadian anus gladly accepted. Hold on a second here, the Judas opts for a country that the he NEVER set a foot in! He snubs the Canadian team for 2 years without giving a real excuse, it was always some bollock injury, family problems, rubbish this rubbsh that and then with no pride Calgary’s penis wrinkle is playing for England. Rot in hell ****, we’ll piss on your grave just as you spat on a whole nation...
Ok I already wasted enough time that’s enough for today, the scandinavian await at the beach
ALLEZ LES BLEUS, CE SOIR ON VOUS MET LE FEU!

To Dj-HordasH's comments
I don't see what the big deal is...frankly I would rather play soccer (football) in England and for England...the guy is just trying to make a name for himself and make a living...honestly how much glory/exposure/jobs can he have by playing here :rolleyes: I think your comments about him are too harsh and unjustified :happy2:

Usually a substitute for Bayern Munich, the 20-year-old came of age at the end of the 2000/01 season when helping his club to the Champions League title an impressing everyone in the process.
By virtue of his father coming from Bolton, Hargreaves is eligible to play for England. He was born in Canada and grew up an ice hockey fan. He could also play for Wales due to his mother's country of birth and by 2002 would have been eligible for Germany due to residential rights.
After taking up soccer - his dad is a big Bolton Wanderers fan - he impressed in his native Calgary before Munich snapped him up at age 16.
Now committed to playing for England, he won international acclaim when his performance as a stand-in for Stefan Effenberg in the televised Champions League Semi-final second-leg marked him as a player of genuine potential. He was instrumental in a 2-1 victory which sealed the German side's place in the final.

Hordash's comments are harsh, but he's on target. He was born, grew up and trained here. Big monies are made with clubs (Bayern Munich), he could've still play with the Canadian team.
If every talented player goes with another country then I guess Canada will never have a good team :( (don't forget that everyone in this country is an immigrant). |

But when you get comments like "I'd have to be chained and dragged to watch such a boring sport" or "So they won? what's the big deal ?.." from the media, I bet it's a bit discouraging to play in this country :(. .. but then if players don't stay, we won't have a decent teams to start up a good leauge that could spark the interest in the media and general public and boost up Canada's team. Chicken and egg problem.
Anyways, I heard those 2 comments from 2 different radio stations while driving home from work after the Portugal England match. Let me tell you, I was pissed as such ignorant comments :whip:.
Anyways, France Greece today .. France 3-1 |

Yeah but he could have also played for Germany, Whales was it too? I guess he just wants to win the glory...no offence but there's no way you can do it here :( In a country where hockey rules (and he's from Calgary) I think he has more opportunites there to shine and win that's all :) |

Really? Immigrants only though...everyone who is Canadian thinks it's gay...hockey is the real sport :toothless :rolleyes:
I hope it does...There's definitely interest and potential for it to grow...but soccer is mostly a "girl" sport in north america for some weird reason beyond my understanding. |

No way, Malek is right. I work for a sports stats company and according to a recent research, football is the number #1 sport played by young kids in Canada in terms of the amount of players. So yah, might just be a matter of time once all those kids reach 18ish .. |
