Does "world football" includes the USA?

[Farmah]

Why is it that we can submit posts on players such as Muntari (Ghana), Ronaldinho (Brasil), Denilson (Brasil), Messi (Argentina), Tevez (Argentina), Jason Roberts (Grenada) - just to name a few of the many names which popped up here on the forum in recent weeks - and everything is hunky dowry but Zeppo's post on Michael Bradley received so many negative feedbacks? Are there two sets of standards?

Dweetsweet went as far as to say these are "posts that promote USA football interests," and then asks for a separate forum to be set up for Zeppo and his "cohorts." Is the USA the ReggaeBoyz enemy? If you chose to answer yes, then you should take heed that the author of The Art Of War implore us to "know your enemy" before you can defeat him. Maybe that's why we can nevert beat the USA, because we have never taken the time to scout and know them!!

Some of us here (yours truly included) have a dual interest in what happens in both Jamaican and American football. I am a die-hard ReggaeBoyz fan but, having lived in the USA for over 25 years, I have
also developed a keen interest for what happens in SoccerUSA. Frankly speaking, I see nothing wrong with posts on American players. If we are going to prohibit posts on American players, then why don't we also exempt those on Messi, Ronaldinho, Beckham, Rooney, Cristiano et al?

Or is it that American Soccer does not make the "world football" grade as
it is called for in the Forum's banner?

It is the MO of the poster. Check it.

[Farmah]

The MO of Zeppo? Then let's turn his posts to our advantage. Let's use his posts on USA players as preliminary scouting reports. There's always something to learn. But his posts, in and of themselves, do lend different angles to this forum.

I'm just saying that I understand why Zeppo's posts can be considered "different" from others.

[Karl]

Agreed!
You may have noticed that I root for the USA when JA is not involved!

[Mosiah]

I always root against the USA. ALWAYS!!! The Williams Sisters excluded, of course.

...and, in one and two other ways!

yeah rrrright!

I am one of the few on
this site to openly come out and say "I love america" (without remorse or fear). I have rooted for the US basketball team,swimming, gymnatics, volleyball but not soccer/football. To me the US can do better but continues to bring average players on the world stage (well it may be a blessing for the rest of us in the region). Bradley cannot play INT'L football, he is average. I love the way Brasil plays and nothing in this world will stop me from loving the Jogo bonito.

There you have my piece.

'Ole Farmah, you are so accurate in your observations..................

I wrote the other day about the pack thinking mentality. That some folks are only interseted in hearing confirmation of their thoughts,ideas and what they believe as truth.

What i find amazing 'ole Farmah is that--some of the "intelligent and educated" ones seem completely at ease with the box-thinking.

[DweetSweet]

THat's right Gamma. In the land of supposedly free speech, say the wrong thing and is Guantanamo Bay fi yuh backside....

Even the colors surrounding this discussion board confirms that this is really about Jamaica and Jamaican football interest. Let rooting for US and USA interests go elsewhere. Like the USA, we should not have totally free speech here.

What Zeppo does is the MO for most USAians. Invade and try to conquer foreign domiciles and interests. Like the USA does for its own interests, Reggaeboyz fans should protect thier own interests by preventing foreign support from having a place on the the Reggaboyzsc.com discussion Forum. Be nice and give them a few MB for place of thier own on our web site,, but not here, and it should be clearly labelled. Its like allowing the US to have an embassy in Kingston. No porblem with that.
