If this is now a forum where we really have to have a debate on whether the term 'paki' is a racial slur or not, that's me out.

What fucking year are we in???

Christ.

Attitudes on this forum are a representative sample of the changing (for the worse) attitudes of the global population as a whole.

It's worrying, and sad to see.
 
One more point-everyone is racist. If they tell you different fool them. Its how we conduct ourselves is the real issue.
This is a classic piece of bullshit people use to excuse their own prejudices.

Yes, people are naturally predisposed to being wary of 'outsiders', it's an evolutionary trait. But that is far from hating people for their race.

Racism is learned, it's common, but it's not built in. Just take a look at a group of nursery age children playing together, they pay literally no attention to each other's appearance.
 
Panama are ranked 6 places ABOVE Japan. Colombia are 16 in the world, made the quarters in 2014. Sweden knocked out Holland in qualifying and beat Italy in playoffs and pushed Germany all the way. Easy route...:eek:

There is no easy route. The one we're on is on paper less difficult until the semis. If we can't beat Colombia it's time to go home anyway. Perhaps we'll beat them with a penalty and them on 10 men ;)

FIFA rankings mean fuck all.
 
Perhaps however, they haven't looked outstanding this world cup, then again nobody has really shone so far. Croatia have looked a decent team.

Their counter press has been excellent. The way they transition is the best I've seen at this tournament.

Maybe lacking that final ball and finish but that'll come. Many teams peak outside of the groups. They look the best balanced side and won't fear anyone.
 
This place. justin justin banned for a year for racist comments. Bazali Bazali not even a yellow card for endorsing those comments. That’s why I no longer choose to sponsor this site. Let others pay for the racist shit’s platform for abuse, racism and misogyny.

With solidity from the likes of Casemiro, Fernandinho, Miranda, Silva and 2 good goalkeepers plus flair from Neymar, Coutinho, Firmino and Jesus, plus the myth and legend that is Paulinho they are very strong.
