USA is trying to do things the right way and build a foundation. For years they were ignoring immigrants and major cities, that has changed.

Really think the US is on the right path.

They're my first team but i'm conflicted when they play Portugal.

Alves got a banana thrown at him, he black. Marcelo black. Neymar black too. We drawing the line at Hulk though.

But it's not as thorough as in previous years agreed.

Neymar doesn't identify himself as black he outrighted said a few years ago "I'm not black"


, however this is a childhood photo of him.......

But i don't know enough the history of race/ethnicity in Brazil to comment on that

I don't think Brazil does racial identification on census reports.

Don't sleep on Colombia. I had the :ohhh: when I saw the team they put out against England.

It's 90% black. A good number look pure African and pretty much everyone else looks like Thriller era :mj:. It's Black Excellence out there. Being without Falcao is a weakness no doubt but at least they won't have a white saviour.

Ghana (parents) then W. African countries then Colombia then England.


England is trash breh. Mexico would look like contenders against them. Seriously England might not even get one win

...I know you fellas don't have the same logic as I do. Some have parents who from that country. Some been to the country and loved it. Some want to dikkride a country even tho you have no sort of attachment to the place...
I'm an Asian-American not even rooting for the USA, Korea or Japan.

I think Brazil will win, and they have the talent.
I'd like to see Portugal win. Absolutely no ties, never been there, don't even speak Portuguese, don't even know any Portuguese people. :lolbron:

you can be "black" and your sister can be "yellow" and your mom can be "white"

it's not related to "blood" as it is in the US, it's just a color of your skin, which obviously denotes your ethnicity to a degree but not to the extent as we think of it
