part 353 whalers on the moon

We've been here over a year now! I can hardly believe it! Dreamwidth's been pretty good, I'd say, with almost no downtime to speak of and all that! Anyway... how is your spring going? Or I guess it's almost summer, isn't it? Hopefully it's been well! I've been catching up on work and new movies, all very exciting stuff, I'm sure.

Enjoy part 353!

I hope Germany wins because I'm tired of my Italian friend giving me shit about supporting them. In your face.

I wish. At least I could better deal with someone who rants and raves openly, but my friend has this habit that whenever the topic turns to football and that I like Germany, she'll go "oh, by the way, did I tell you about that time when this German magazine wrote really horrible and racist things about Italians when we played against them?", or she'll dig up links to bad behaviour by German fans during a game or something. I have no idea what she's trying to achieve, but I feel like she's trying to make me feel it's problematic to support Germany and that I should feel guilty.

Eh could be much worse? And tbh I don't feel bad about someone pointing out racism.

Yeah, because Italians are saints who shit rainbows and never do anything problematic regarding football. Give me a break.

This is exactly what I said yeah.

Then what exactly is your point? I'm sick to death of that I can't bring up anything positive about Germany with this friend without her linking me to something bad that is going on over there and giving me anecdotes about all the times Germans have done something shitty.

Link them to Italian bad behavior as well and see how they'll react?

I've tried to, but she always brushes it under the carpet and gives me some explanation about why it's not so bad or why it's justified. It's like she's got a total blind spot when it comes to Italy. One moment, she's laughing at jokes that make fun of other countries' military failures, but as soon as someone says a similar joke about Italy, she'll start ranting how it's offensive.

In that case, she sounds like a nationalist or super, really biased. It's fine to point out racism against your country but if you're going to downplay your own country's then you're a hypocrite.

What's a dive?

Re: World Cup prediction

(Anonymous) 2014-06-12 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
when you dive to the floor even though you weren't hit at all or hit hard enough to fall in order to get the opposing player carded.

like in the gif they show near the bottom here http://www.hlntv.com/article/2014/06/11/americans-guide-to-sounding-world-cup-fan-2014-soccer-facts

I hope one of the countries who's never won the WC before wins it.

Failing that, I hope Germany wins it.
