Two, the best athletes in most countries don't play soccer. As amazing a soccer player as Lionel Messi is, you're telling me all 5'6" of him is as good an athlete as Manu Ginobli?

Yes, Lionel Messi is a better athlete than Manu Ginobili. He's faster, more coordinated and his spatial awareness may be unparalleled on this planet.

Also, saying my assertion that black folks are our best athletes is a racist comment is laughable. If you don't believe it, then you or someone else are going to have to explain to me how a minority group of our population comprises the majority of our highest paid athletes without being, as a group, more athletic.

Yes, White People are the smartest too. And Muslim people are the nicest. And Indians smell the best.
As w/ your statement, all false.
When people summarize a race, positively or negatively, it doesn't make it any less racist, just makes it wrong.

You're right, it's a total coincidence.

The fastest men on the planet just happen to be from Jamaica. Nothing in the genes there.

3 games tomorrow. I'll at least be recording all of them and probably catch Germany live.

Has Germany clinched yet?

I believe so...Maybe in their last match.

I love the Euros. World Class soccer with no stress of me agonizing over the US.

Haha, Ozil opens the scoring with a rocket on a broken corner play.

Man crush intact.

Edit- Another quick goal for Germany.

What a waste of talent Belgium is. Ze Germans will win the Euro's. Call your bookies.

They're just brilliant to watch. 3-0 and Ozil's in on all of them.
