I really think I am starting to get into soccer "the worlds most popular sport." It seems that at least in Europe other than France that white players don't get shafted b/c of their race. Yes, white players can make it in soccer based on their merits
In the American MLS it is the usual American caste BS. (Freddie Adu was considered "the chosen one" of the MLS, but so far hasn't been too spectacular)
The last World Cup was awesome and I am so glad that Italy won against the French's caste team.
Interesting that Zidane who is mostly white is France's best player though. The head butt he threw was just unreal. Now that's how soccer players heads are built
