Ferdinand im not bothered about either way, but Drogba - one of the sulkiest and most complainy players out there - I for sure wont miss him at the world cup!!

Yeah but the majority of commentors want the black King to take his place! which would mean that Ferdinands depature would actually further darken the team...

I stumbled across this article and am shocked! I didnt know quite how common practise the anti white sporting retoric is in the US. http://www.sbnation.com/2010/5/26/1488312/US-2010-world-cup-roster-America-athletes

Johnson should have gone instead of SW Philips without a doubt. And where is Wayne Bridge? still injured? He is as good as Ashley Cole I think but hes never had a look in.

I think England will have only 6 white starters - with James, Cole, Ferdinand, Johnson and Heskey all likely to start...even though only Ferdinand and Cole genuinlly deserve a place. (James should be long gone, Johnson is a mediocre defender and Heskey is not even lower half premiership class)

Mississauga really is the most multi-racial city perhaps in the whole world...I was there last year and was surprised. Didnt see so many black people though - just sh*t loads of eastern and southern asians, quite a few south americans as well as a lot of east europeans. Wonder what attracts them...

im not saying that they are 'ours' - and that we should support them because they have some white in them...im just saying that they are not black, and so should not be catagorized as so. The reason this is important to me is that a big part of the caste system is not just how much white...

6 of the seven staring blacks are actually mixed race..some being less than 50% black.

Who consideres Pele by far the best player ever? At best he is considered the best player ever, but certainly not 'by far', and in fact i believe that the majority of people would consider Maradona as the best player ever.

Everyone has their personal definition of what constitutes a black - if yours is the one drop rule then so be it - Rafael is black.

i wouldnt say negros cant create anything..there are some great black players, just not that many, and the overwhelming majority of the best players are white. Rafael - negro? maybe 25% but no more. lets see what they can do in the world cup! i predict that the african teams will flop...

A very tiresome article talking about a successful football academy In Ivory coast. "Africans are strong, physically, naturally strong and quick. Obviously there is a lot of talent in this country". Would we ever see and article about (for instance) Barcelonas successful academy in terms...

Thats ridiculous that in the US Messi would not be seen as white just because he speaks spanish. Spain is a predominately white nation..and so is Argentina!!

what do you mean by lations? messi is 'latino', and as white as chalk.

I live in Ukraine, which is close to the middle east. i travelled around the middle east because i wanted to understand the culture better. I have also travelled through north america to learn more about the culture there :) Here in ukraine we have a muslim/christian divide too (i live in...

actually, after spending a lot of time in the middle east a few years ago, i can say that the muslim religion per say isnt aggressive, just certain sects and interprataions of it. Most muslims distinguish between the people and governments, and whilst many strongly dissaprove of the American...

When the discussion comes down to cultural traits, religion etc, clearly everyone is going to have there own opinion about what constitutes 'white' and what doesnt. Some peoples' definition is narrow whilst others is wider. However its not an 'argument' that has a solution, as this definition is...

Im not sure about the 'not big enough' statement. The best playes on the world today arent big - Messi, Xavi, Ineista. Maradonna was a short arse too :) I dont understand why there are so few players from a country as populated as China.

its cheap to fly to barcelona from north america. get a cheap flight to london (from cities like new york they can be really cheap - $400 return), then fly easyjet or ryanair to barcelona, for about $100 return or even less if you book early.

getting dangerously off topic now, and dont mean to be argumentative, but actually, the sun activity us now decreasing, and will do for a century or so more (it goes in cycles of a couple of hundered years), and this is thought to be responsible for localized cooling in some parts of the world...

The french world cup winning team had 7 whites, 3 blacks and one mixed

Where white becomes not white is a grey area, but coming from africa does not mean that a person cannot possible be white. As the last comprehensive post discussed, Zidane can defintely be considered as white. Interestingly, in countries like Algeria and Syria, there are quite a few red...

An air traffic controller who i work with here in ukraine said that he has heard that the president demanded that they land (reason unknown) even though the pilot had been told not to do so by the authorities. Apparently this has happened before..the president demanded the the pilots act...

arsenal - led by the biggest caste manager in english league history (French of course!) are indeed the whitest theyve ever been since he became manager about 10 years ago. Saying that, they are still only 60% white, whilst the average in the premier league is more like 70%. Unusually, the...
