Not soccer related but all I can say is I am very thankful that this guy's Spanish grandfather decided to move to the United States and not to Latin America.

I have been a fan of his for over 35 years.

People descended from European settlers who arrived in the Americas during the colonial and post-colonial periods can be found throughout Latin America. Most immigrants who settled the region for the past five centuries were Spanish and Portuguese; after independence, the most numerous non-Iberian immigrants were French, Italians, and Germans, followed by other Europeans as well as West Asians (such as the Levantine Arabs, Armenians, etc).

Anyone who denies the connection that Argentina and Brazil have with Spain, Portugal, Italy and France are just flat out in denial.

I also know someone from England who married a Latin American.

The differences were by far more noticeable between the person from England than the other 2.



Obviously, how do people not see that?!


The guy from Portugal communicates with his wife in basic Spanish and in Portuguese.
The guy from Italy communicates with his wife in basic Spanish and in Italian.
The guy from England does not speak any Spanish, Portuguese or Italian so he and his wife communicate in broken English.


This is why Spanglish was invented. Yo quiero Taco Bell.

With gems like that, of course the Latins dominate.


Evidently the PP is an educated P. Now I really hate him.

There was a rematch of the 1994 world cup and Italy won.
