I hadn't seen a soccer game for years and only thought it was a funny situation to have found a soccer game to be the only thing on TV. It was only a humorous coincidence to me, and the game I watched happened to be a boring game with nothing much going on.

I was sadly surprised to read a response that was clearly political and nationalistic in nature.
This has nothing to do with soccer, or 'football' -
A discussion about 'beer' could become political if some people wanted to push it that way and not follow clearly established rules of this site.

The '3rd worlders (Euro-peons)' comment is clearly out of order and goes too far.

It's very unfortunate that some people have to make any subject hateful and /or political. It was a light-heart subject and most meant it to be fun.

To preserve the integrity of our web site’s rules and to cease any further divisive nationalistic discussion, (Badger) need not stop this thread.

I will stop it and it’s unfortunate. Once a thread degrades such as above, it is indeed difficult, if not impossible to salvage completely.
