Forza_Italia Posted October 13, 2006 Author Share Posted October 13, 2006 quote:Originally posted by Forza_Italia it was under 15 a while back in 1994. I used to play in the CSL/PSL as it was known back in the day. My friend Dave Diplacido plays on the lynx and my other friend Jim Brennan who plays on Team Canada played with my brother in teh NSL for Woodbridge Never said Gattuso is one of the best I say he is above average, and is nominated in the top 30. Yes look at who Greece beat, and look Greece has one more Euro cup than England has and they deserve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forza_Italia Posted October 13, 2006 Author Share Posted October 13, 2006 quote:Originally posted by Vancouver Fan It's been a good thread. If you're passionate about a team and believe in them there will always be these types of discussions. As long as it doesn't get personal this will be a good place to get different views. We'll probably never be able to change eachothers views but we should learn to respect them. It's been a very good year for myself as a fan of Italy and of the Whitecaps. I still need to see Canada at the World Cup 1 more time before I leave this world though. I'm glad to hear that Forza also supports Canada. Something that many Euro snobs including Italian fans can't get ther head around. Well done Forza! Hey, Vancouver my close friend plays on the Vancouver White Caps. His name is Adrian Cann. He played with me in that Tournement In Italy a while back. How is he playing , I heard he was hurt for awhile? Ofcourse I cheer for Canada, I am canadian after all.

Vancouver Fan Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Adrian had a good year and I hope to see more of him in the future. Has come off the bench mostly but is close to being a regular starter. His injury was a short one.He didn't miss too many games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played with him my whole life, but I wasnt good enough to make it HAHAH but Adrian was always talented since he was 4. I am surprised he never played at all for the rapids. But I wish him the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amacpher Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 quote:Originally posted by loyola I suspect your ex girlfriend cheated on you with an italian River City......your comment about Gattuso being an average player is showing that you have poor soccer knowledge or an evident bias against italians like amacpher. Not so much a bias against Italy as a bias against guys like Forza. You have to look no further than the thread title to know that this isn't about having an intellectual and stimulating debate about who the best European sides are at the moment. It's only about poking fun at the troll, Forza. [] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amacpher Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 quote:Originally posted by River City Well, if I had a choice of 30 players the world over, for def midfielders, I'd have Makelele, Viera, Diarra, Emerson and De Rossi ahead of Gattuso.

River City Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Okey dokey... We'll agree to disagree on Gattuso/Materazzi - although just because he donates money to charity doesn't redeem him. I agree a lot of people make stupid comments on other nationalities without really knowing them (although my opinions on Italians are due to many years of intensive research, with a lot of wine included of course... ) And yes, I talk about them that way and to their face. They talk back though...which makes it fun. It's the beauty of living in Canada and being able to interact with different cultures. And even they admit, Italians brag too much. Loyola - was not aware. Was it funny, at least? Rick Mercer did one about the Portuguese that was just hilarious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

River City Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 First of all, I said; quote:Originally posted by River City Most of the Italians I've met though are always reminding themselves and everybody within earshot about how great they are and how much everybody else sucks. I didn't say all Italians. I said most of the ones I've met. Not ones I've never met. If you said most of the English you've PERSONALLY met are drunks and alcoholics, that's your opinion based on personal experience...but there aren't a lot of nationalities (European anyway) where alcohol doesn't play a significant part.
