Whatever you call them, I would go for any of those teams over England!

Why would you do that?

Italians and Spaniards are very much Latin my friend. Amigo.

I would also take all of Europe between Romania and Portugal and the majority of South and Central America (does Canada count under OP's definition?) over any one country

The Latins and their colonized lands?

Why in the hell do you think people of partial and/or full Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian ancestry/descent from Latin America are called Latinos?

They are called that just for the hell of it with no history behind the term?

Tell me, when did we start classifying people by a language? This thread has to be one of the most ignorant representations of the human brain I have witnessed on here.

Eric: Hey Joe, you’re Latin
Joe: Nah man, I’m Italian-American who speaks English
Eric: Oh! Good point. Disregard. You’re English.

No. You are showing how ignorant you are.

Really?

Columbus was looking for trade routes to India. He stumbled upon the Americas and called the natives Indians. Now, I ask you, are they Indians? The answer is No

Now, moving on. South America is known for attackers. That’s their bread and butter on the world stage. Creative players with flair.

Europeans are known for stringent discipline and tactics.

You need both…that’s why when combine those players you have something special.

I have a couple of Spaniards working for me and asked them today if they would describe Spaniards as Latin. They were unanimous in saying absolutely not.

The opinion of present day Spaniards means absolutely nothing.
Spaniard exchange students who came to my high school 20+ years ago did not even know what a Latino was or what it meant.

History cannot be changed or altered. Although some may try.

False. Ever heard of Hadrian's Wall? Ya that was in England. They also conquered part of Germany, Egypt, Turkey, a little of Russia, and a lot of other places. You wouldn't consider any of those Latin.

Considering any country that speaks Italian, French, Spanish, or Portuguese as playing Latin style football is ridiculous. Have you seen France play lately? They definitely don't play like the Spain or Brazil. Italy plays the least like the others. It's a good discussion I guess. I would even say Holland plays closer to Latin style than Italy even.

If you are too ignorant to see any connection between Spain, Portugal, France and Italy. Well that's on you.

If you are too ignorant to see any connection between Brazil and Spain, Portugal, France and Italy. Well that's on you again.

If you are too ignorant to see any connection between Argentina and Spain, Portugal, France and Italy. Well that's on you yet again.

The problem here is you.

Somebody in this thread for whatever reason does not like Spanish, French and Portuguese people and wants to deny the connection they have to each other. They also probably do not celebrate Columbus day either.

Are French Canadians as Latin?
