The UEFA Champions League 2010/11 Thread

[Xifio]

And what do you do when the opposition refuses to actually have a match? Not long ago someone was fired from the Iraqi, or Iranian FA for acknowledging the Israeli FA. What do you think will happen when they have to face an Israeli team? And that was one match, if Israeli teams were included in Asian tournaments, this sort of thing ould be happening constantly, and it would be unfair for them to have to constantly play in a neutral venue.

And assuming the Israelis can travel and play in Iraq or wherever, it would be unsafe for them. Munich wasn't that long ago.

politics man, what can I say? but I know that your "country" really has little to complain about, the way things have worked out ... my initial point about Egypt was merely that if they really wanted to get into UEFA [at any cost], then it would be possible, coz it had been done before ...

Yes, it's quite a pain for you, I'm sure, to have to see a pic of a beautiful woman. What exactly is your problem with it? Feel free to PM instead of replying if you don't wish to go off-topic. I know it's not personal, that's not the point. Of course you can keep doing it, although, honestly, you're just coming off as bigoted towards Israel, since you're pretty much doing the same thing as that FA I mentioned, refusing to acknowledge Israel.

firstly, that chick's best asset isn't her face ... but as we've discussed before, the chick isn't the problem, the text is -- and if you know what "bigot" means, you will know that "bigot" perfectly describes one who would say what it says on your sig ...

rest in PM I think would be best ...

 

[Mandieta6]

My country, and that's country, not "country", whether you like it or not, has no reason to complain, this is what's best for us politically and in sports. No one has complained, either, so I'm not sure why you even raised that issue, twice.

My sig doesn't reflect any intolerance or animosity towards any belief or group, or anything at all actually. While pride in one's heritage, ethnicity, country, race or religion is sometimes accompanied by discriminatory tendencies, it is not always, if even often, the case.

You're misinterpreting what my sig stands for, which is understandable, because I had it done as a joke, but that's neither here nor there. The rest over PM, sure.

Um.... the "white power" standard doesn't really apply to minority groups. Jew Power is equivalent to Black Power IMO; nothing bigoted about it at all.

 

[Xifio]

not a bad draw for Ajax ... as long as they (and Samp too) get some luck in the qualifying play-offs to finally get back to the Champions League, I'll be happy ...

minority groups? "minority" in the states maybe, but not globally ...

both are bigoted as far as I am concerned -- positive discrimination is discrimination nonetheless ... and when that has both ethnic and religious implications, whenever either or both is convenient, it is all the more bogus ... I encourage everyone, including you, to look up the word "bigot" for its meanings ...

Jews are a minority everywhere, so I don't know what you're trying to say.

And it's not discrimination at all, it's merely pride akin to patriotism.

not in Isr**l, which is how this whole discussion even started (i.e. me writing "Isr**l" in that manner) ...

akin to patriotism? pray tell, how?

 

[Coruja]

Braga x Celtic

Well, my hope in Braga this season is ZERO, but i want them to pass, but with Celtic in their way its over. Braga "sold almost every player" of their team that ended in 2nd place last season.

 

[mogolos]

no problem imo about the sig, nice design, nice girl, and if anyone gets annoyed by reading "jew power" he also might read there "few power" due to the kind of the fonts been used.

Give me a ******* break, we're not an Israeli forum.

Saying "Jew Power" or "Black Power" is NOT "let's exclude ____" or "let's conspire to keep down ______". There is no discrimination in it at all. NONE! It's pride over one's ethnic group, which can be likened, and in fact is essentially the same thing in many countries, as pride for one's country. This isn't that deep Xifio.

indeed it has become infra dig for me to continue ... I have no problem with leaving it at that ...

Well, at the same time tho I can see where Xifio is coming from. Just depends I guess on how one looks at it.

 

[Filipower]

I can see where Xifio is coming from.

Probably Braunau am Inn.

 

[silvone]

I want the Egyptian teams to play in the UEFA Champions League.

I want Al Ittihad, Kaizer Chiefs and LA Galaxy to play in Europe League and Boca Juniors in Uefa Champions League.Fair enough?

 

[Sevillista]

If the MLS champion got a spot in the Champions League each year the MLS would be 10 times better. Obviously that is never going to and never should happen, but it would be sweet.
