Have anyone noticed that there is only one Nordic team left(host, Germany) and all other three semi-finalist are from latin medditerenian nations; and that most "referee mistakes" at this tounament were made by latino referees against non-Latino, and especcially against enlish speaking teams?
USA, Australia, England all been beter and more dignifyed teams then say cheating ugly low-class Portugal or Italy, but went out due to the "referee mistakes" . In fact FIFA appoins Hispanic refery on the games with Portugese or Italian teams pplaying and vice versa..IS it normal practice?
Is theresome anti-nordic racism going on in FIFA?

I live in Europe, and if some posters want to go deep into anthropology(which smells racist) then why the mix of Hispanics and Indians from South America are considered less "civilised" in some posters eyes compared to say mix of Hispanics and Arabs, or Latinos and Africans(Spanish, Portuguese, Corsicans, South Italians)

I can not believe how racist is a recent shift in this discussion. Where did I wrote about blue eyes or white skin? When did I mention Anglo-Saxons? Don't you see that actually the English speaking teams are more open an tolerant to players with African or Asian heritage compared to all - nativo Latin country based teams? The culture one has grown up within what sets one character, not the colour of ones skin. That's what the whole difference is about: people who are born and raised in N. Europe or say USA are used to struggle for everything, relying on their own skills and hard work, are law obedient and respect the rules, hate fraud and cheating and would accept only an elected government. People from Mediterranean and other Latin regions have a tradition of loving caudillios, il duce's, or other dictators(like Salasar); do not respect rules, cheat whereever it is possible, are work shy, rely on welfare, subsidies, or other charities. It is same in EU relations or football.

It's just that, except for England, English speaking countries don't have first-class soccer teams.
Australia seems to be waking up. Hopefully the USA follow their footsteps.
Oh, and by the way: I'm an Italian living in the USA and I was told I have to check "White/Caucasian" when I fill out a form asking for my ethnicity. Not "Latino/Hispanic". So it looks like from an ethnic point of view, Italians are actually closer to Anglo-Saxons than they are to Hispanics... I actually don't care because to me race means nothing, but it looks like it's really important to you, so I thought you should know.

Do you really expected the U.S. team to win the worldcup...all the teams in the semi-final have a good reason to be there. Argentina went-out on penalties, and Brazil went-out for two reasons: 1. They didn't play well in the tournament and their coach made many technical mistakes besides that their supposedly weaker opponents were psychologically defeated before any match against Brazil. 2. Most of these Euro-based Brazilian players have lost respect for football (the money,fame, some of them don't deserve at all). They went into the tournament assuming that their destiny is to be crowned the champions all of a sudden to be humiliated by a strong Zidane-inspired French squad.
Anyway,There's something about football or (soccor) that is beyond the comprehension of most Americans. People in Europe and South America know what am talking about. I advice you to watch Hockey.

There are a lot of French, Southern Italians, and Portuguese with blonde hair and blue eyes. Come to Italy and you'll see that stereotype about most Northern Italians being blonde and most Southern Italians being dark proven wrong. By the way, most of the players in the French team are Africans not Latins. Just because France, Italy, and Portugal don't have a majority of blond players it doesn't mean there's a conspiracy.

If that were true, Argentina would have gotten some more favorable calls while playing Germany, and yet the calls favored the Nordic team rather than the South Americans (Example: Maxi Rodriguez got a yellow card because a German tripped him!), so your theory is a bit flawed.

Latino (I would rather use the word "latin", latino is an american word to denigrate the mexicans) countries won most of the world cups since 1930.
The reason why is because football is their "thing". Also, when it comes to partying they are the best... (I'm not talking about getting wasted and throwing up on the street all night long)
Most of the world population is also latin, that's why it is such an event...

OMG, Ive heard about so many different conspiracy theory, it not funny. Who knows what the heck FIFA officials have been conspiring about. The point is, that the team they want to win, will win. Thats its it.
Any way, all I can say is one thing, which if youve been on this site you have probably read it already
BRAZIL ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
