Iggy I am half Canadian and maybe it's all the time spent in Toronto but the inferiority complex analysis is getting old-


Truth can get old... deal with it.

quote:

I think you are overstating what is an outmoded concept...


The 'uproar' splashed across all major news outlets today over this once again demonstrates it is alive and well.

quote:

like Brett and Owen Hargreaves, Sydney was born in Canada...if you don't think American's would be pissed off at a person born in their country playing for another National side then you haven't been paying attention (Giuseppe Rossi ring any bells)


Canada will have 3 Americans on their roster shortly. Do you think they will be treated remotely the same when they play down here? Boo her (or Hull) the first game or two and then grow up... this several year inferiority vendetta, then making national headlines when she 'shushes' is all the evidence needed.

quote:

Canada was looking for payback after the Olympics...


yes they whined and complained for 10 months, brought up revenge - and did not get a shot on goal. But luckily they found something else to whine and cry and whimper about in Leroux.

quote:

and since when do you self indentify as Canadian?


That is what my passport says.

quote:

Oh and does this mean you are self-loathing my fellow Canuck?


It means I am not blind to whining and whimpering and complexes no matter where they come from. A girl in her teens decides to play for one of her countries and the other boos and sends hate mail for years like pathetic babies. Doesn't matter what the country is - that is pathetic. The only key for Canada is this is a trend (hello Brett and Owen). Again - the Cdn team will have 3 American born players soon and not a shite will be given. One the other way and every outlet is all over it.

No No No No... Canadians don't do that. Christie wouldn't do that. You just don't understand. That would be to 'American'

36 and counting

I believe these photos are photoshopped. No Canadian would ever do anything even remotely classless. There has never in the history of time itself, been one single Canadian to ever do anything that would be frowned upon by others.

On the other hand, Leroux should probably be put to death.

The fact that so many people, news media, announcers, etc would get this bent out of shape over her holding up her shirt crest and shhing an abusive crowd is hilarious.

It truly is little man syndrome that is still alive and well with a lot of canucks. But thats very Canadian of them.

And to the person that said she's probably a box licker, I read somewhere last year that she was engaged to Blu Jays 3B Brett Lawrie a few years ago but broke it off... So there's still hope.

Iggy there's a Nationalized health care thread over there on the OT-you should go and chime in with your self loathing views i am sure the discourse will be improved, and did you address my Rossi example...don't recall...

I'd understand completely if rossi shushed us after scoring, I wouldn't enjoy it or anything but it wouldn't surprise me at all

Rossi - i am positive if he shushed us, it would be national news with the announcer screaming 'that is so Italian.... You can keep him'.

Why are you ignoring Sesselman and the other 2 US born about to wear the maple leaf?

You know as well as I do, the scale of the reaction of big brother would not be even close to that of insecure little brother.

She handled it like a child, and then whined about it afterward that people were mean to her.

Poor Sydney.

quote:

She pointed at her badge. How is that any different from any other time an athlete has pointed at his team's logo


A. She shushed the crowd.
B. She had an obvious intent in showing the badge. It was a statement of, "Look, Canada, I'm playing for America. frick you."

All she needed to do was go run to her teammates and celebrate with them.

Instead, she taunted the crowd, and then whined about it after.

I don't have anything personal invested in it. But she doesn't deserve an "appreciation thread" for being a bad representative of U.S. soccer.

I do hope you realize that a sports match is not the same as a gathering for afternoon tea.

I guess any time a player displays his jersey for the crowd to see, they're all assholes. 70% of all footballers are classless assholes.
