      I dont really mind.... my teams will always be in South America so I cant see them anyways. My heart is taken up by la seleccion and Racing Club so I have no room for any other team. The crowd/terrace culture is what I really miss.... THAT is something to behold!

        Your point exactly...I miss the "culture" that the fans in la tribuna bring.

        I wish that some of that enery would spill over into Laker/Doyer games...fans that go to those events are so tame.

          Nah they couldnt allow that.... Women and children would be scared and its waaaay too uncontrolled for people here.... People here cant control themselves, shit even over there theres always someone going to the hospital or getting killed because of it. Theres no way that would fly here.... Plus the terrace culture is standing room only sections, that shit wouldnt fly here. Its either complete chaos, or total complacency generally here. There its barely-controlled always just under the surface chaos. That kind of passion easily crosses into violence or over-the-line behavior. With the police state we have here they would smash that down very quickly. Rightly so, in most cases. But I tell you waht..... There is nothing like singing in a full stadium of 50,000 people singing and jumping to the same chant.....

              That's an indictment of our society...too extreme in both senses (apathetic or violent).

              World Cup in Brasil is going to be nuts...especially all the fan bases living near there; Brasil, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay...I'm saving my vacation time for that trip.

                  Germany '06...nice. I was stationed in Japan when the WC was over there in '02 and caught the Italy v. Mexico game. Loved it. USA '94 was pretty freakin' tight...it needs to come back.

                  Bro I think you could probably punch your ticket to the motherland :)
                  I'm hoping they have some games/venues in the southern part of Brasil like Puerto Alegro so that I can bounce to Asuncion, Montevideo and then Bs.As. and re explore. Have a lot of friends that live down there.

                    I was at all the group stage games played at the Rose Bowl and I saw Argentina - Bulgaria in Dallas and Argentina - Romania at the Rose Bowl along with the final (brasil - Italy) at the Rose Bowl.

                              Forget Nigerian failure - you lost to Poland!!!

                              I know it was Argentinian B squad, but still... We're not exactly a power when it comes to football... We have decent players playing in good teams throughout EU, but we're hardly a team - more like a bunch of people gathered to play a bit.

                                Argentina (ranked 6th in the world)
