Bella Italia

First off, thanks guys for last week, I added a comment at the end of the forum.

A bit late but I had to mention the world cup, I would have thought soccer was slightly predictable (maybe cos I don't usually watch it) but that isn't what my fellow fans would say. This year's world cup was quite amusing and so many unforseen things happened. It was like a comedy to be honest. I'm not gonna go on about all the things but I have to add that I think Christiano Ronaldo is a hottie - a bit cocky but he's bonz men! Anyways, with regards to the final, Italy won but it was very sad to see how French captain Zidane's career ended (p.s. he was already at the end of the career but it was his violence on the pitch at the final that made it shameful).

Hmmm, when I think about it, thank God Zidane wasn't black because he is actually from Algeria! I mean, what if he were? We wouldn't hear the last of it, bad enough we have racism in soccer and so many other sports. Like how Spanish fans made monkey chants at black French players in Spain or when Kobe did it and they said it was the negr*id in him, so much racism everywhere, I don't think they even listen with things such as the let us fight racism approach they took at the world cup (see). So imagine if a black guy goes and does that? Oh dear.... maybe 'cos of that they would limit the number of black players any soccer team can have around the world (hmm what if they even do that already?) Or what do you soccer fanatics think? What are the most extreme cases of racism in sport? I don't know anything about American sports e.g. football and hardly know anything about B-ball except the hunky players. Holler back let me laugh please!

On another note, I was reading and browsing through one of my favourite websites, www.lagoslive.com and I discovered some interesting stuff like an article about how the grass is not so green abroad contrary to popular Nigerian belief and reviews on the new Soul Lounge and also the open-mic session, Expressions at Tanjia every month - sounds great!
