US History with wars, take for example Germany during World War II, the U.S. did a little known thing to most, but they firebombed the city of Dresden to create a firestorm killing innocent people by fire or suffocation, because the firestorm sucks oxygen out of the area, to test this method of bombing and effectiveness. When it was seen how successful it was, the U.S. also used on a Japanese city.
Long time ago left the war that only involved two sides and no innocents. Watching an episode of Case Closed, came across a little insightful thing, the painting of a Knight slaying a demon, at first you think he is a hero, but when you look into further, he has been stained with blood, and will be forever stained in his heart, which became the very thing in which he tried to kill, a heart of a demon, the true essence of war, I think.
Yes, the players said some good things, but I still would like to know the questions, and the reasons why they try upset them even more than they already were, they were there to play a game, and already upset about their nation.
Politics may be good in other sports, but soccer is one in which it does not belong, put it in basketball or others, soccer needs to remain neutral, or else a match between Iraq and Israel, China and USA, etc. would never happen because of politics, soccer has enough trouble with rowdies, which the disease has now spread to China's Soccer fans. Let the players say whatever when the competition is over, but nothing should be said about the other team period. A Team is not responsible for the actions of their country. Ack damn it, I am rambling on again, have tendency to do that. Over and Out for now.
