That's kinda my point. Mexicans retain Spanish as their first language whereas Asians make their parents' language their second.

And you're speaking to my point, I think that if your first language is not English, then you'll retain the accent because that is how you learn to speak.

ETA: And it depends on your surroundings as well, if you are immersed in people with similar accents, then you'll develop that accent as well. Most Mexicans grow up with each other, so I would assume they retain their accents. But I'm pulling this out of my arse, so it may not be true at all

The Vietnamese I work with (born here) still have thick accents.

they are quicker and aided by the shift in ref'ing that protects weak players

the netherlands has some straightline fast guys like robben and windajlum (sp)

The field ants are used to this heat.

The gueros not so much.

I can see orange crush getting grinded in the 2nd half

Yeah, I didn't see this at all. I thought the Dutch were going to dominate this game. Just like I thought that Brazil was going to dominate Chile
