[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where are the latino/hispanic kids? The close knit community cant band together to send a couple kids and show what stuff is missing? something else is missing.

BTW, It’s very curious how the well known non-caucasion did in this WC. A bunch of europeans based ethnicities seem to have dominated. go figure. [/quote]

actually the team that won the World Cup France was made up of almost entirely African immigrants most of whom if you follow their back stories parents came from African nations to escape poverty . ie. not wealthy people[/quote]

that's not what I said or dispute. (But somehow we've managed to go from latin communities in America to African legacies in france)  I said dominated, and I meant on average, not the exception. If I am not mistake, (I could be) none of the Latin/Hispanic( i'm including these even if not all PC or correct: Spanish, Mexican, Uruguyuan, Peruvian, Bolivian, Salvadorian, etc) based teams made it to the semis. That's what I was describing.

Latin countries were not going to fare well in a World Cup in Russia. Actually, outside of Brazil 60 years ago, they’ve never fared collectively as well as when the Cup’s been held in Europe. You also have to take into account resources that the federations have at their disposal. Final point, why would stating nationalities not be PC?[/quote]

What?? 4 years to prepare to play in Russia and what are we blaming location on not being able to fare well?  did any of these locations not have European style climates during the cup? I'm not sure I understand what you are referring to. And these teams don't have enough resources? They likely have support of 99% of their countrymen with lots of people in the soccer playing pool vs the constant argument of not enough americans playing soccer or supporting it...  I thought all players needed was pickup soccer and access to pro coaches? /sarcasm (maybe, not really)

The PC comment was about something I had deleted, I think I may have had Portugal, Brazil in there and I was just caveating it so i didn't get more grief since I know how some folks from these countries don't appreciate being identified incorrectly.[/quote]
