This reminds me of a far more extreme version of what happened when England lost to Germany in the world cup
Oh, yeah. and im sure that all of these asshats don't know that japan bombed pearl harbor in response to what the united states did in the first place.
seriously, though. it's not taught in school. they make it out to be some kind of hostile act against the united states. "amERIca is so great and glorious that we can do no harm."
never mind that you just called yourself two entire continents. oh no, your country isnt called the united states OF america.

yeah, if you look at his facebook profile, apparently some girl thought he and his friend was going to kill her in her sleep, and ran away crying. doesn't seem like the type of guy who would be considerate of others feelings. AND he's from new jersey... so there's that, too. God, his profile is just filled with ignorance...Disaster Button said:

Without the involvement of the United States, specifically without the Lend-Lease Act, it's unlikely that Britain or the Soviet Union would have fared nearly as well as they did against Germany.
Hell, even Stalin admitted that. Though I believe his quote went something along the lines of "Without American production, the Allies would never have won the war."
What...the...flying...F*** *turns stark raving mad and bites through a concrete wall*
...okay, seriously, you bring up Pearl Harbor and the immense tragedy of ending the second World War by nuking two major civilian cities, BECAUSE YOU LOST A GAME?!
I should go easier on the caps, but I can't believe this is happenining. Even Russia, a country that is holding annual parades because they won the "Great Patriotic War" against Germany don't wish Berlin to be turned into a wasteland again after losing sports events to us Germans. I would never say I can't feel sorry for a tragedy that happened today for something that happened on the 6th of June 1944. The people involved are 99% dead. The events that unfolded in World War 2 have next to no real impact on the life today. Mentioning you almost erradicated two of their cities and calling them slanty-eyed gooks does not make up for losing a soccer game, it makes you look like a brainless idiot or a 3-year old who got his favourite toy taken away. Why does this happen? Who seriously makes an argument about sports using World War 2 tragedies? Japan won the women's football world cup, the US lost. That happened once, in women's football. There is NO reason for anyone to bring up either nuking two cities or the assault on Pearl Harbor in a SPORT EVENT discussion!
The only thing cheering me up is that my captcha says "Pork Pies".
I should get one of those.
After thinking a little more I wanted to state that this entire comment is in no way my opinion on the ENTIRE population of the US. I have some good friends in the states and I am not saying that this is the shared opinion of every single one of the 330+ Million US-Americans. But the more vocal a minority, the greater the readiness to condemn the entiriety of that group for their actions. Again, I don't hate the USA, I hate people who are stupid enough to make these comments on a public website and believe what they write.

I don't doubt that the US involvement played a role in winning the war over Nazi-Germany. However, what I think is the problem with people who make comments like shown in the original post is that they believe it was the US alone that stormed the beaches of Okinawa, raised the stars and stripes on Iwo Jima and allowed the Russians to casually walk into Berlin. I guess you know that the Ostfront saw battles with casuality rates about 8 times higher than every engagement on the western front combined. So while the US did help, if Hitler wasn't busy keeping Stalin from rolling over the Oder, the Third Reich would have pushed the US invasion right back into the ocean. I'm glad that didn't happen and I'm not accusing anyone of being wrong, that's just how it was and people should understand that. If it weren't for the Cold War, we would have seen a lot more movies depicting Russians as the heroes instead of just showing over and over again how US soldiers freed france.Raesvelg said:

I'm ashamed to be an american already because of the growth of an oligarchy and Rampant idiocy in american views and politics, please don't add to it. It makes me weep as an american
Just great stupid racist people that are bring up the last WW2 because they think it will help them look right but it just made them look like sore losers.

ah, the internet, showing humanity's finest since the 80s
also, what the hell does WW2 have to do with the World Cup of Soccer?
like, at all?
but to the topic, sports fans man, sports fans, built on baseless anger and shallow offense-intending remarks to attempt justifying their competitive nature.

Right, I forgot, America is the only country on Earth that has stupid people in it.barash said:
