The guy on our right is a TRAITOR! he better NOT be supporting anyone else but Asian countries. ALL OF ASIA MUST SUPPORT THE TWO KOREAS AND JAPAN IN THE WORLD CUP! GO GO ASIA FUCK TRAITORS ABROAD!

@Kra7as Okay, so I see that you are from Iraq, which may be the reason why you hate the USA. Well guess what? The players on the US team are 23 people! Never ever put politics and sports together. There is even a chance the US team hates our government, so don't go blaming people based on their nationality.

@USsoccerdudes

I don't hate the USA, I know that most of the American people did not agree to go into this war, although they don't really care about us, but about their soldiers. It still would have been much better if the government had listened to the people though.

Nonetheless, the reason why I said that the Asian guy on the right should be supporting Japan, South and North Korea is because he's from Asia, and naturally he should be supporting his neighbors. That's just common sense!

@Kra7as I might be being repetitive on this but, I am not from Asia, my parents are. Also, what is wrong with supporting the US? Technically, if everyone supports their heritage, nobody will support US since everyone is from Europe or Asia. Yes, even the Native Americans had crossed into this country from the other continents. They just got here long before America was internationally discovered.

Lookz kinda suspect...you wearing an England Jersey and all. Brasil takin' it tho, trust me!

[USsoccerdudes]

@Kra7as I was born, raised, and I have lived in the US for my entire life. They made me love the game, so why should I turn my back on them? Asia already proved they can do something by getting to the semifinals, so really I don't see why you are angry. If people are going to go for their heritage, why don't we just go support Africa, because all nations have been traced back to Africa as their origin more than thousands of years ago.

@Kra7as What I am saying is that we WOULD have reasons to not support them (and I said that we DON'T use those reasons). The thing is, we wish the best for all 32 teams, but supporting North Korea or Japan is like supporting Canada or Mexico. They are part of our continent, but there is no reason to support them. Plus, it is not right to call Asia my continent if I have never been to it. Politics and sports should never come together, but the truth is, it happens because we are humans.

@USsoccerdudes

And if you think that politics and sports should never affect each other, then why do you refuse to support Japan and north Korea because of their political and social status with Vietnam and the US? I think you should re-consider and give more appreciation to your continent, it's not about hating the opposite group, it's just sports rivalry.

[USsoccerdudes]

@Kra7as I'm Vietnamese... I was also born here, I have never been to Asia so I do not have a reason to support those countries. Plus, Vietnam has always carried a lot of hate (of which I do NOT) to Japan because of World War II, so I really have no reason to support them. Also, here in the US, we don't like communism, so we are not supporting North Korea at all. South Korea has a habit of playing dirty, so I don't really like supporting them either.
