"English Footballer Owen Hargreaves' family have recieved death threats and hate mail after a Canadian media campaign against them for encouraging their Canadian born son to opt to play for England instead of Canada. Hargreaves moved to Europe aged 16 to play in Germany, after being rejected from the Canadian Under17 academy. His dream was always to play for his Fathers home country, England, so when he blossomed at Bayern Munich last season, and The England coach Sven Goran Eriksson called to say he wanted to select the player, young Owen had fulfilled a dream. He should star in this years world cup, but the treatment meted out on the Hargreaves family back in Calgary by a venomous media campaign accusing them of being traitors to Owens' country of birth, could yet take the gloss off the young mans amazing acievement ." Are all Canadians this crap ? and do they even have a team WORTH playing for ? |

Give me a break, don't judge Canada on the actions of a few idiots... Canadians don't give a shit about soccer (football) anyway... HOCKEY is a real man's sport. :-) |

OK Ophecks.. But you're not from Edmonton, Alberta .. or Calgary so you're a GOOD Canadian :) PS, we call it ICE Hockey here "Hockey" is the one girls in short skirts play. Maybe they should try THAT on ice :D |
||||||||

Why does everyone hate the French? And French Canadians? I love them all! I love the accents and everything. You're all jealous that you can't speak that sexy language, eh? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Listen matey boy english is a beuatiful language coming from the mouth of a northerner |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think the french are cooL! jean-paul sartre! yeah! albert camus! yeah! andre the giant! yaHoo!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and i've always found the french to be a bit odd, not all, but their overall mentality, a bit devious and unfriendly sometimes....but other times they've been really friendly to me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hectors house ! yeah ! *TOO OLD* SIGH * |

I don't understand how some people get so obsesive and furious over such trivial sports developments, especially with soccer, fuckin hooligans kill each other over it, for fucks sake! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no they dont -- they do it for the violence - the soccer is just a by-product -- in a programme i saw on tV, the hooligans from opposing teams would call each other on the cellphones arranging to meet after the match for a brawl -- and then after that, they commented how the other side were a decent bunch of fighters |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I also saw a program where the hooligans charged the other sides fans at half, and in the panic of the masses, a protection barrier was broken and over a dozen people were killed |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, but its not BECAUSE of the sport itself... the game is used as an outlet |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, it's not BECAUSE of the sport, its OVER the sport, as I said |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
? most of the time, they aren't even watching the match -- after all, they are too busy heckling and chanting and throwing "missiles" -- that is the case in the UK, anyways |
||||||||
|
|

About the hockey is a real mans sport line. I am a young male canadian and I prefer usa football and basketball over hockey anyday. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah corngrower, marlowe is right, the hooliganism that surrounds football, at least in the Uk, is just people wanting to fight and using football as an excuse. They said it themselves. These guys don't wear football strips and they aren't any more fanatical about their team than other fans.....the firms in england are all linked to organised crime too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, I know here they are |
||||||||
|
|

You prefer basketball over hockey? Sorry, then I can't take anything you say seriously. ;-p <-- (sticking out my tongue while winking, a novel concept!) |
