Wrong. In all of your examples it's the antagonism between the two groups is racial or historical rather than cultural. It is not because one group's culture conflicts with another, but because one group has an inherent racial hatred of the other (due to historical antagonisms). Take Japanese...

didn't realise just how much the dutch are cheating cunts.

Yeah it wasn't worth it either. He didnt manage to injure Robben or Van Persie.

I guess the dutch plan was to take out Ronaldo...

aww... where's the love for Crouch? :p

It's not about how much resources we're spending on fighting terrorism but about how we're doing it. If the consequences of the response outweigh its benefits, the response is obviously a poor one.

Yes you are right and in that case the new laws weren't called upon. I mean obviously terrorism is a threat but we should not overreact to it. The real impact of terrorism is the panic and fear it causes rather than the actual loss of lives, and I think the enactment of the new laws showed that...

totti is awesum, sif hack him. We need grella to hack pirlo though. did anyone notice simon hills' bizarre call in the argentina game? I think he said "... what he lacks in inches he makes up for in application"

The article says So?

I don't think this thread should existed either, to be honest. I mean you might aswell create a thread for every minority in the country so that people could discriminate even further, going by the example of 'muslims in Australia' and 'homosexuality in australia'.

Poor form of him to stay on though. The big questions now are: Who's refereeing Australia v Italy? and Who does FIFA want to go through?

Damn... :( looks like Italy will have to go out early again. Would have been great if they were in a position to knock out Brasil :( hate Brasil. Anyone to win the world cup except for Brasil,...

Yeah spoiler tag would have been nice :(

Looking forward to the Ghana replay. I'd like to see both Italy and Australia go far. For that to happen the Czechs need an equaliser... doesn't look likely though with 10 men against an Italian defense =/
