hey blame the french, don't you love the french?

I'm not insulting anyone, this topic is meant for you to post the most pathetic points of view of Europe vs usa or something, yours seem more directed to my person, not as pathetic, but also stupid. If you feel insulted, then you surely need help. Amasing how the wall of patriotism crumbles with mocking.

Wake up, people!

Plus the picture of Bush is labeled 'Europeans that love Bush', i guess you missed that.

Our technical skills are legend. Industrial Era came too late in Portugal, around the 1900. Since then the general 'we', haven't catch up with modern technology. There are still villages receiving their first electrical posts around here. On the counter effect, Portuguese elite electronics and robotics are one of the best, just don't forget some of the robotic parts of the Space Shuttle were 'Made in Portugal' (designed, not made). Still...my mom accomplished to send a text message in 2007, after having a cellphone since...i can't remember, around 2000? People were making Cubism and we were still in Naturalism. That's the story behind that drawing :clap:

Now end your bloody arrogance and paste some interesting pics.

Oh, 'hate' is such a strong word, ofc English breaks it's latinic linguistic meaning. I don't hate USA or Americans. I'm quite friendly with some of them, but not the stubborn and arrogant that think USA is god's chosen country, and that Bush is guided by God. This past sentence doesn't have to have christian or religious connotations. As an ex-President of Portugal said once: "I don't doubt that Bush is being guided by God, it's just a shame that God gives him such bad advices."

Please stop, no one thinks this is funny and no one is offended by this "shocking" information.  So far every one here does not have their head up their ass to think that USA is God's chosen country.

No, I did understand.  You make a post saying that your not bashing the US then bash it at the bottom, and its not the fact that I am offended by it.  Its the fact that you are trying to call a spade, well... not a spade.

I think the pics are hilarious, Delf. But OC's right, you've got to stop the US bashing. We got it the first few times. You keep making Bush jokes, and you're in Portugal. We're in America, WE MADE THE JOKES! So you say them, they're funny for two seconds, and that's the first time you say them, not the tenth, twentieth, or hundredth. And I don't want to rag on just you, Delf. It goes for everyone non-US. We heard y'all the first time, shut up about Bush! Do you honestly think we're all like Bush because he's in power? Hell no. Ok, rant over. Back to pictures.

I'm not really too pleased myself with that much whining or bitching. You have a problem? Sniper rifles are your solution.

a) I'm not insulting you, Delf. I'm asking you, no, telling you to knock it off.
b) Misery is Missouri

Yeah, but they got that far.  I thought they might be able to pull together an offensive explosion and topple the French.  And the group stages don't matter when the knockout rounds are reached; you may remember Italy almost lost to the U.S. (they salvaged a tie on a controversial call; in fact, the US were the only team to score on the Italians until the final).
"I believe every single person is extraordinary. The tragedy is that we
have a society where too many people never get to fulfill that
extraordinary potential. My view – the liberal view – is that
government’s job is to help them to do it. Not to tell people how to
live their lives. But to make their choices possible, to release their
potential, no matter who they are. The way to do that is to take power away from those who hoard it. To challenge vested interests. To break down privilege. To clear out the bottlenecks in our society that block opportunity and block progress. And so give everyone a chance to live the life they want." - Nick Clegg, Leader of the Liberal Democrats and Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom

I had high hopes for Ecuador and Croatia.  Iran was my outside shot team.

Ouch.  I had them finishing second and I think I had them pulling a first knockout upset...I don't remember, though, because it was a while ago and I lost my bracket.  I remember predicting Portugal v Brazil (Portugal taking the win over their former colony) in one semifinal, and Argentina v Germany (Germany winning the best game of the Cup thus far with the home field behind them) in the other (though that may be a faulty memory, too).
