Also, Europe has its own fair share of crime and shitty neighborhoods, that phenomenon is not exclusive to bloods and crips (which we obviously do not have). and besides, anyone who thinks it's desirable to be from a fucked-up place with a 95% unemployment rate and three murders a day obviously needs to grow the fuck up anyways.plus i don't think a few jabs are anything bad. as somebody rightly pointed out, someone who's on a similar level can take it (and shoot back). as long as it's a fun rivalry, there's no need to get butthurt. the problem is just that it's usually the mentally challenged net bangers (from Wyoming) who feel entitled to spread serious hate, calling out "eurofags" to make up for arguments they lose against more intelligent people. same with europeans who link some american poster to confederate-flag-wielding rednecks cause it's the only thing they're capable of in a certain situation. cause that's just Well, there is obviously a lot more physical contact in Basketball then there is in Soccer. Its just the nature of the sport, size of the players/playing surface, etc. Im not sayin that Basketball players are tougher then Soccer players. They are, but Im not sayin it, you know? lol j/k But it is true what u say, its all a matter of growing up around and being into the sport. It goes that way with anything in life, not just sports. I admit i don't watch a lot of basketball (I do know the basic rules and I'm able to follow a game though), but I'm not so sure about that physical contact thing, my american friend. While I don't see what being physically very tall should have to do with contact, obviously the lack of space will have players touch each other more often, but the kind of contact there is in basketball is usually nothing compared to many situations in soccer. Ever seen two players go up trying to get a header and hitting each other's head? Someone slide-tackling another player from behind at full speed? I'm not saying that's the great thing about soccer, it's just what discredits that sissie bs talk. and yeah, we seem to agree about the rest.QuoteAnd for the part of your post. Different people, from different cultures and countries always have their own perception of what another country or what people from another country are like. Like it or not, right or wrong....Americans a lot of times look at Europeans, as pussies. Like I said, that doesnt mean its true. Its just the way it is. Obviously, shit can happen to you anywhere. But there are just certain cultures, that dont come across as very intimidating. And Europe seems to have a lot of them. No offense to anyone, but there is absolutely NOTHING intimidating about an English accent lol.I know that pussy cliché very well, but that's what it is, a fucking cliché. it would be interesting to look at where it comes from, i don't really think crime rates in major cities can be it, cause that would be a pretty retarded reason to look at the people of a continent as pussies. obviously, there's been some talk about some european countries that were unwilling to join the iraq war, but ironically, most americans oppose that war themselves now. but would you mind explaining why you think "americans a lot of times look at europeans as pussies"? cause maybe you can shed some light on this.(and as for accents, besides the fact that the british are 60 million out of a three-quarter billion europeans, they have a lot of different accents themselves. most don't sound like family guy's stewie)

I'm just amazed at the level of ignorance. There are 2 types of people in the world - positive and negative. These people exist all over the world. Attacking someone because they aren't where you are from or look like is old world mentality. We're all struggling, we're all going thru shit, as soon as everyone realizes that and focuses on that kinship the world will be a much better place.

I just dont see that much physical contact. Yeah there are slide tackles and the occassional header where two players hit heads (which is fuckin hilarious btw). But more often then not, it seems like most physical contact results in some sort of penalty. There is a TON of flopping (and I used to think it was bad in the NBA) where players dont even get touched at all, but throw themselves on the ground...rolling around like they just got shot. Its embarassing man lol. Anyways, to each his own. If youre into soccer, cool. I can understand why people like it i guess. Just not my thing.
As for the rest. Honestly, I cant tell you WHY people dont consider Europeans to be the hardest muthafuckas on the planet. When you think of Europe, you dont exactly think of countries where life is just hard. You dont think of ghettos, you dont think of anything like that. Id be curious to see how many people have ever heard somebody say "be careful with those French muthafuckas, theyre crazy homie" lol. Shit just doesnt happen.

Their the toughest gang in Sweden gyeah

The Euros that catch heat are the ones from Sweden who act like they are from Compton.
europeans get shit on here because this is supposed to be about west coast rap and most of the people on here are the worst kind of europeans: euro wiggers
As a European (of sorts), I must say many of my fellow continentals don't really help matters with e-banging, 2Pac worshipping and bizarre obsessions with obscure Death Row artists.That said, there's idiots all over the world as this forum frequently proves
