I have been following international soccer since the 80s when I was a kid, and what has happened to some of the European teams rosters lately is an unbelivable situation. You used to have pure, 100% white starting line-ups, all the subs were white, and there was no question who and what they represented. Nowadays, teams like France (quite simply another African team), England, Netherlands, etc, are at least half black or more. Even the once great Germans no longer field an all-white team. How long before the last remaining hold-outs, Italy and Spain join the party?
Watching today's England-USA game, I felt that both teams were simply too dark. Each should be starting at a minimum 8-9 whites, with perhaps 1-2 token blacks in there. And we clearly witnessed the awful play of the blacks on both team USA and England. Some of these players have no business being on their respective national teams.
I suspect this is the last time we can still root for team USA in a major international competition. They still field a majority white line-up, so I hope they advance out of group play and perhaps make run into the quarter finals (tough task, no doubt).
USA soccer is well on its way to a majority black make-up in the not too distant future. The national team will probably resemble France as early as the 2014 World Cup, and MLS will probably look more and more like the NFL, as whites are slowly phased out. That is why you are seeing the PTB using their lapdogs in the media to pursue the pro-black agenda. The all too common cry of "where are the black players?" is being heard more and more often when discussing US soccer.
In addition, analysts and commentators like the idiots Rick Reilly, Bill Simmons, and others are pushing out columns about what it would be like if supermen LeBron, Rondo, TO, et al, had actually taken up soccer growing up and how unstoppable they would be today. Look for this moronic rhetoric to increase in the coming years until the goal is achieved.
Soccer has been flying under the radar until a few years ago, but the MLS has finally taken hold, team USA now regularly participates and does reasonably well in various international competitions, and therefore men's soccer cannot be allowed to remain a majority white sport.
Hopefully, we'll still be able to root for Spain, Italy (despite their crap style of play) and Argentina in the years to come.
theNigeriankeeper, though, was stellar.
