[Socafan]

capo,

yuh never deal with argentines or wha? they is a set ah racist scum.

i believe in every human being there is some sort of racism,larceny and criminal intent.

!!??? So you will tolerate racism, and even like racists!!?...Even when they racist against you and yuh whole family who never do nobody nutten!!?
Worst yet, from your statement, are YOU a racist?

Come again breddah...get yuh head out de sand.

Ah wonder what race you are?

i am ah f**kin racist,wat i also doh like is people who talk trivial shit.from my statement my friend,there is some sort of racism in every f**kin body.to each his own.in this life there is nothin like perfection.everything in this world is flawed.if there is no crime,you will need no police,if yuh dont litter,there will be no garbagemen.choose yuh path,go with de flow and live with de consequences my friend.

About the only thing that make sense here is the part where yuh cuss and proudly state that you are a racist. Seek help.

[pass(10trini)]

Supa agree wid yuh 100%, fire fuh dem. A few years ago ah went wid ah touring team tuh Argentina, fuh ah airline tournament, and trust meh fuh who doh know, dey is the biggest set ah racist yuh cud find. Ah Jamaican breddah and myself were the only black players on de team, and it wasn't ah nice experience over dey. Dey cud only try dat shit over dey doh, dey cah come here wid dat cuz is      However, give credit where it is due, dey does produce some ah best talent yuh could find in de world. HIGHLY BLESSED.

Supa I goh agree wid yuh on dis one . Dem is one setah elitist minded %@#^.  Ah use to wuk with a Argentinian an when he see TnT playing de man use tuh rel tun up he face and telling me why you watching those fellas for, dat ain't football. I use to wah cuss he #$%@ bad bad.

From all things I have heard of Argentinians is they are very elitist minded an he prove jus what I've heard of them.

But I will give them the credit because I think they are the best team out there right now.

hmmm. your co-worker is a cacahole. but it's kinda sad that meeting one person like that could make you believe a stereotype. Imagine if everyone thought this way    think about this...supposed you met a woman who said that all her life people told her that Trinis were lazy and the first time she met a Trini was at the workplace and he was not very smart and not very motivated and simply did no work. She now asserts that based on meeting ONE entire whole Trini she can say with confidence that Trinis are lazy......I don't think that's rational...do you?

Dale BOCA

Filho I am much more educated than to think all ppl of a country are a certain way. I was just saying that by my experience together from what I have heard he filled the stereotype very well. But will my next introduction to another Argentinian lead me to be negative, or hostile because of his countryman? No it won't because I would never be so closed mind. I was just venting my experience that's all.

[Brownsugar]

In fact maradona has often said messi and kun should lead the Argentina frontline at senior level...
I say bring whoever is responsible for producing that kind of talent on a regular basis to T&T yes....I believe we have the raw material ..!

In fact, I was going to say this earlier but got distracted by the racism thing....

Last week while ah was watching de replay from WC (Arg vs. Serb/Montenegro), de commentator said that
in their 1st game against Ivory Coast...10 of their players would have been in de WC for the first time....

Imagine, having young talent like that......again credit goes to their youth system....it strong and vibrant....
same could be said of Mexico, Haiti, de US....

So dat is we solution right there.....but ah know we done acknowledge that on dis forum....but anybody at de TTFF listening....

Argentina No. 1 in FIFA rankings for first time

March 14, 2007


ZURICH, Switzerland (AP) -- Argentina claimed the top spot in the FIFA rankings for the first time since they began in 1993, displacing World Cup champion Italy on Wednesday.

The United States dropped two places to No. 30, nine behind Mexico, the top-ranked team from the North and Central American and Caribbean region.

Italy fell to second, one spot ahead of Brazil, which had been No. 1 for 55 consecutive months before the Azzurri took over in February.

Argentina's move to the top was boosted by its 1-0 exhibition victory last month over World Cup runner-up France, which remained in fourth. Les Bleus were followed by Germany, England and the Netherlands, Portugal, the Czech Republic and Spain.

Fire bun Argentina!

stop de hatred bredda. :challenge:point de day we paths cross,ah might have cause to damage yuh.lol.

Capo ah cud always depend on yuh for ah good laugh... ah real miss yuh ole talk breds

[Pointman]

it's funny how dis topic of racism is always raise itself in every argentian, italian, or spanish thread.....

I doh understnad how men could be so ignorant, and sterotype an entire country racists because ah 1 or 2 assholes yuh meet, or 1 bad experience yuh had.

I have 2 really good Argentinian friends.  My coach is Argentinian and they are easily 3 of the best people I know.  I have visted Argentina, and I have had no problems there. Side note: the women there sweet too bad 

People have to accept they are racist assholes in every country, but labelling the entire country racists based on 1 or 2 experiences doh makes sense. 

e.g.

(1) Some Athletico madrid fans wavin the confederates flag, therefore all of the sudden all spanish people racists

(2) A Lazio fan makes racist comment, therefore the whole of Italy is a racist country

(3) A man had a bad experience in Argentina, the whole ah argentina is some racist pigs...

I was walking down fredrick street with my cousin in Trinidad, and he is chinese.  Dis man start to call him bruce lee and shouting fake chinese words at us....so wait, Trinidad racist too    Should I label all Trinis racist based on dat asshole, and N.B. this happens all the time in Trinidad

*long flicking steups*

I think it's a lil disingenious to say 1 or 2 assholes. Argentine, throughout all of Latin America, has that elistist/racist image. They go so far as to deny that they even have a Black population (which is pure nonsence)  but anyway they still produce some great ballmen...even though I doh like dem.

[dcs]

It have significant race issues in Brazil too.

Don't think Argentina worse than whole heap of European countries...England included.

Yow, in case yuh doh know, you is the only person I see giving supporting remarks about Argentina, ah will go dat far tuh tell yuh talking real shit. Fuh yuh info, up tuh recently, Supa use tuh play wid an airline touring team, and I made about 3 tours each tuh Argentina, Chile and Uruguay, and 1 tour to Brazil, just tuh name ah few of meh tours. Ah not trying tuh show off or anything of that nature, cuz yuh would see in meh other post, ah didn't mention all dem countries ah toured, but when ah see yuh type dat shit about a bad experience, ah have tuh let yuh know dat I been there not once, but 3 times, yuh doh have ah damn clue about Argentina. Yuh probably made a one trip, lock up in yuh hotel room, like ah lil scared baby boy, people probably take yuh around on ah tourist guide bus, tuh may be 2 or 3 places and yuh hop back on yuh flight and go home, and yuh want yuh come here and rate dem, man doh f**k we up nah. De Argentine youth, de Jamaican breddah, another youth from Chile and Supa, we hit de streets like some real rude bois, and de same crew also hit de streets a couple times at night fuh a lil night life, so meh boi I've tasted the raw life in Argentina. So go and run up yuh mouth by some body who never travel and know de real deal out dey. Yuh get meh real f*****g mad wid dat, there are young and older folks on de forum that never had the opportunity tuh be in dat country, so why de hell yuh want tuh mislead dem about a very important topic (Racist) like this, de people must know de damn truth man. Fellah is 3 f*****g times ah went there, nice food, beautiful ladies, extremely talented soccer players, but they are f*****g racist. Guess what, the best player and one of the friendliest guys on de touring team is from Argentina, but he came to USA, when he was a lil kid, so he basically (I hope) look at life differently. When we were leaving tuh go there the first time, he told us not tuh be offended, but almost all of Argentina are racist people. He is from there and he could admit that, but yuh want tuh come here wid that shit talk. Look boi, DO SO NAH . HIGHLY BLESSED.

[jai john]

So yo'al think FIFA should add a... are you racist index... to this ting ? After all the FIFA rankings should take this into account right ?

[Andre]

   I know dis a serious topic but yuh post had meh rolling dred

I could tell you's a youth man, so I go ease yuh up.

First off, don't assume you know anything about me, cause yuh don't.

You obviously had bad experiences with Argentinians, and I sorry to hear that.

But don't try to tell me what I have experienced is wrong, or your experience some how better than mine or more truly reflects how Argentina really is.

You are entitled to your opinion, and I entitled to mine.

lickslikefire, do me a favour, ask your Argentine friends about racism in Argentina, let me know what they say.

When songstress Josephine Baker visited Argentina in the 1950s she asked the biracial minister of public health Ramon Carillo, "Where are the Negroes?" to which Carillo responded laughing, "There are only two — you and I."

11-27) 04:00 PDT Buenos Aires -- Maria Lamadrid, an Afro-Argentine, vividly recalls the day when her country's immigration authorities prevented her from boarding a plane for Panama, demanding she present them with a "real passport."

"They told me, 'This can't be your passport. There are no blacks in Argentina,' " she said of the 2001 incident.

The authorities at Ezeiza International Airport had no idea that the woman they detained for six hours is the president of Africa Vive, or "Africa Lives," a prominent black rights group in Buenos Aires.

Heh heh. I suspect we wont be hearing many complaints from people here about the stupidity of the FIFA rankings. It all looks to make sense now doesnt it?

Recent losses (2-0 to Switzerland) and (1-1 tie at home to Panama) is to be blamed for Jamaica's 7 points drop. No surprises there. Who's T&T's next opponent?
