Would be interesting how different views would be if countries like Canada were top 3 and Italy 250th in world ranking

I wasn't mentioning in any sort of aggressive way @S. That's exactly what I mean, people should find what is, and isn't for them, and go from there.

I'm sure that would have a large effect. Like I said I can't even name a single player on the Canadian national team. However if Dybala or Messi were on that team it would definitely change things. If Canada actually had a shot at winning the World Cup I am sure you would see alot more Canadians wearing their jerseys and such. That's just how it is.

So Spalletti didn't rest anyone, going with a narrow Inter win then.

Mario getting absolutely shafted

Same with NTs, if you like their play, or whatever else about them, then its fine to follow them imo. I assume M99 is not Brazilian but he likes them so who cares?

I have no particular love for Switzerland yet I would like Licht to succeed. He is the same guy I root for every weekend after all.

Brah this is what my country looks like during World Cups.

Its hard to explain, football is a huge part of the culture here but we have nationalistic pride too (look at the national team cricket fandom). I never remember choosing Brazil, I've been a fan as long as I can remember. But if Bangladesh ever played Brazil/Argentina, everyone would root for Bangladesh, no questions asked.

UNREAL POST BY PERISIC from midfield ffs

Great match played by us so far :bow:

@rincon, since I made the Napoli thread, you'll have to make the "whom'st'd've will stop Inter from winning the Scudetto?" thread :coffee:

Inter looking comfortably good, last three games were: Milan, Napoli away and Sampdoria and they'll finish with 7 points and just two goals against (if this result holds). Unreal

What a performance by Inter. It sucks because it's Inter but god damn! The best 45 min played bybthem this year.

by Robespierre Tue Oct 24, 2017 8:48 pm

Fantastic first half ok but I am not still quiet , we never get clean sheet. Still long.

by Robespierre Tue Oct 24, 2017 9:02 pm

Perisic Icardi >>> ,Stockton Malone

by RealGunner Tue Oct 24, 2017 9:07 pm

Never seen Robes so happy

by Robespierre Tue Oct 24, 2017 9:10 pm

It is just best Inter of last 50 years mate

by Robespierre Tue Oct 24, 2017 9:11 pm

3-1 after our third post
Still long ffs
Fear still tie

by rincon Tue Oct 24, 2017 9:40 pm

What a match. Quags still balling. Vecino being missed a lot since he came off.

by Robespierre Tue Oct 24, 2017 10:18 pm

Yes irreplacable
Even because Joao Mario is fraud
Good victory , we deserved to win with largest result

by breva Tue Oct 24, 2017 10:23 pm

Should not have been a nailbiter, but leave it to Inter to make it one.

I am that less passionate among Serie A fans here about Nazionale and I am the only one Italian , the world is weird mate
Life of death just for my Club

*bleep* hate international football nowadays lol. I actively avoid all but the World Cups because at least that has hype. Couldn't care less if every non Juve Italian played like utter shit.

agreed
I think the NT break is the most annoying ever. It gives me an unreal nausea , such as when I went out with a girl and then I discovered she voted for far right

Wc is good because it happens in summer (but for example I am going to hate winter WC in Qatar.. forgive me ES ) and so it is good reason of hobby..of course I support Italy because it is my NT, never had doubts .. but well..I still prefer Inter to win Coppa Italia than Italy to win WC
Even if I celebrated it much in '06 but I don't support Nt to same way now. It is just the love for club that can't change for me

by Doc Wed Oct 25, 2017 5:24 am

Robes got nauseated when he discovered his gf voted far right. Proud

by M99 Wed Oct 25, 2017 5:34 am

Understandable to see Robes's love for NT erode when Vieri gets replaced by Eder and World Cups be replaced by group stage trophies tbh
