[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like the African national teams always play the most entertaining soccer. Portugal/Ghana in the group round is probably going to be a good game.

US-England will play to a tedious 0-0 tie, book it. [/quote]

Just an impression, but it seems that all the major players, regardless of country, are African. Sort of like the contestants in the New York marathon.[/quote]

African men go through very painful maturation rituals that increase their capacity to endure pain  That is why they are so good at marathons and also at soccer/football which requires long periods of running that inflict a good deal of pain.[/quote]

I’m sorry, what? Do you know a lot of African men?[/quote]

Yes, and I am an anthropologist who has studied male adulthood rituals.  How about you?[/quote]

This comment is ridiculous and racist. Please tell us which African players you deem to have reached the top of the sport via these "painful maturation rituals". [/quote]

Ethiopian marathoners[/quote]

Did not answer the question. Which African soccer players who are allegedly at the top of the sport have gone through this ritual? No one is talking about marathon runners. You claimed this was a soccer/football foundation. It sounds like blowing smoke[/quote]
