Great recount of the incident, Phall! This is without a shred of doubt one of the most bizarre controversies on the football pitch that I have ever come across, as it's usually players or coaches who face accusations of racism. The Romanian word "negru" translates as "black" and is not...

Erling Haaland has become the fastest player to score 15 goals in the UEFA Champions League. As of December 2020, he has netted on 16 occasions in this competition. An absolutely brilliant player! Norway's future is looking quite bright, especially in the striking department, with Alexander...

Very, very sad, rest in peace, Diego Armando Maradona! I never got the chance to watch him live, as I am in my 30s, but he is without a shred of doubt in the pantheon of all-time greats and has a strong claim to be regarded as the best ever football player. A S.S.C. Napoli legend, Maradona won...

Yes, merely enforcing the existing immigration laws of the country and supporting the efforts of border patrol agents would have been enough to secure Obama some degree of popularity with conservatives (his polarizing comments in 2008 on Americans from small towns "clinging to religion, guns...

Thank you so much for the great responses, I was able to expand my knowledge quite a bit! I always assumed that prior to WWII, American presidents tended to be pro-white by definition. I admit that I wasn’t aware of some of Lyndon B. Johnson’s policies, but the impact of the 1965 Immigration...

Hi, Long time no hear! 2020 has been a rather difficult year, but I hope that you are staying safe and healthy despite some of the setbacks in various realms that we have been experiencing! While I am not that well versed when it comes to American politics, I have always echoed Jared Taylor's...

I am thrilled that Russia did an absolutely fantastic job with organizing the 2018 World Cup and I am very happy that the host team was able to exceed the expectations. I think that it’s good that the first such tournament to take place in Eastern Europe also featured a technical innovation that...

Thank you very much for the thorough response! It's great to hear the perspective of an American who is proud of his European heritage. I think it’s obvious that the views expressed at castefootball could no longer be considered fringe or non-mainstream given Trump’s success and the centrifugal...

So far Donald Trump seems to be attempting to implement most of his campaign promises and does appear to be putting his own stamp on things…however, it’s unfortunate that the frequent turnover in administration cabinet members (as in the case of Sean Spicer and Anthony Scaramucci) is probably...

I am looking forward to an exciting and action-packed tournament (though I have to say that I was opposed to the idea of expanding the tournament to 24 teams, as this somewhat cheapeans the whole qualification process, mainly because “big guns” like Italy and Germany do not need to be constantly...

Thank you for the detailed responses, it is fascinating to read so many interesting insights and personal stories regarding your experiences in high school! I was never really picked on while in high school, but it seems to me as if bullying in American schools rarely transcends racial lines...

I may be jumping the gun in opening this thread (the UEFA qualifying matches will begin after Euro 2016 has concluded), but the non-European qualifying zones are gradually entering a decisive phase - for example, AFC countries such as Australia and Japan are aware that they will soon have to put...

Thanks, Don, I have never come across that theory before, but there could certainly be merit to it, as the circumstances pertaining to Jackson’s death are still regarded as suspicious. I think that his single “They Don't Care About Us” caused controversy in the 1990s because some of the song’s...

What are your views on Michael Jackson and his legacy when it comes to racial relations? Did you like his musical performances? Do you see him as a person who was keen to promote liberal causes to the detriment of whites or as someone who genuinely wanted to become an integral part of white...

@GWTJ, well put! Yes, I think that Nigeria also have good traditions in this sport, but they are far behind the European powerhouses. I guess that the lack of suitable table tennis facilities in Africa is a huge issue. One interesting black table tennis player is Gareth Herbert from the United...

It is easily my second favourite sport (after soccer). I started playing table tennis in my early teens (though I was not that interested in the relevant statistics and did not follow international tournaments at the time). There was a period in the late 2000s when I did not practice the sport...

Nice analysis! I think that I will enjoy the highlights of that particular match! I have noticed that white players' talents are generally appreciated in South America and anti-white institutional racism is rarely an issue in South American countries. Argentina is the favourite (at...

You are very welcome! :) I was a bit too confident when it came to my predictions…unfortunately, Germany lost to Mali on penalty kicks (I tend to underestimate African teams at youth level – some of them like Senegal are well-organized and tactically astute in addition to being quite...

Is anyone following the FIFA U-20 World Cup? The biggest surprise so far was probably exotic Fiji’s 3:0 win over Honduras (the Central Americans are a rising power in Concacaf). The 1/16 finals are at the half point mark and some exciting matches still await us: Austria –...

I don’t mind Sep Blatter, as he does not seem to be the PC type (at least when compared to his FIFA colleagues) and has some good ideas when it comes to preserving the integrity of international football – I like how the requirement regarding a minimum of 5 years spent on the territory of...

I have to admit that I am neither an expert when it comes to the technical aspects of the sport nor a football purist, but so far I have found the games to be quite entertaining and the teams are indeed highly motivated! I could never fault the women for their passion and work rate. Two...

Most matches have been rather entertaining and defensively minded teams seem to be having a hard time…the refereeing is not up to the required standard, but it’s no worse than the 2010 World Cup that saw many controversial decisions. At least the new spray that is used by the officials seems to...

Compilation with some of the best goals: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BS4scY56Qmc I enjoyed watching the 2013/2014 Champions League season and feel that Real Madrid were deserving winners – while they have a huge global appeal and frequently try to capitalize on that, they still promote...

Folk music from Slovakia, rather relaxing (but without a touch of melancholy): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UwEDzQACd0

Very well put, Rebajlo, as always you present a rather compelling argument! In an ideal world, a player would only have one clear choice (it’s not possible for everyone to become an international footballer and there is nothing wrong with simply remaining a fan of your country’s national side...
