Hate to be painfully honest, but I think the Greeks were offside in their one goal win against Ukraine. Watch it on You Tube and you'll see what I mean, they got a break.

At least someone scored. Hell, they ought to make it legal to use hands all the time so there will be some action! Most soccer excitement occurs when players go down like they were hit with a cannon ball, only to get up running as soon as a referee waves a card in the air. Phonies.

The Italians are notorious for faking injuries. They put on acts that would win an Academy award, magically recovering as soon as the yellow card is waved.

Don Cherry would hate European soccer. Hell, he already hates Europeans.

I honestly hate the Mexican national soccer team more then any other team across any sport/level. (including CMU)

Why you hate Mexico so much? They play with style and panache. And they've owned USA pretty much. The fans can be pretty boorish, especially when we play them in Mexico City. But that's the going fare for US in latin america.

They are a bunch of diving, faking, cheap shot b$tches and always have been. That is why I hate them.
And they've owned USA pretty much? Hmmm, you better go check your stats. Since 1990, the teams have played 30 times. Mexico has won just 9 of those games with the USA owning in a 13-9-8 record against its arch rival. A losing record against a team is hardly owning.
Mexico won 2 of the 3 games this year but one was in the Gold Cup where USA used their C squad for the tourney (at best....the A squad just played in the Confederations Cup) against pretty much Mexico's A squad and the other was down in Mexico City where no one wins in that smog filled sh!thole.
Don't even get me started about Azteca and the Mexican fans. Throwing batteries, urine bags, etc at the opposing players goes way beyond classless.

Tell us how you really feel, Flash. LOL
You think playing at Azeteca is tough? Try attending Panathenaikos stadium when you're an Olympiakos fan! You'll get rained on with missles composed of food debris, programs, beverages,assorted fecal matter/vomit and whatever. They'll likely set off projectile flares pointed in your direction, which if they don't ignite your clothing will leave your apparel smelling like sulfur for the next 6 months. Mix it in with assorted altercations between drunken fans and you have the makings of an evening in hell. I attended one of these games when I was in Greece and it was a scene out of Dante's inferno!

Throw their a$$hole fans in that grouping and I'm right there with you. I hate that team more than anybody.
