What is the purpose of "national" teams anyway?

Butthurt Italian reporting in.

It seems evident to me even countries who are supposed to put forward a "national" team are, in fact, exploiting their migrants at their best.

Sweden in particular, but also Italy, which is ready to give citizenship to anyone with even the remotest Italian ancestors just to have them play in their national teams.

But what is the purpose of this anyway? Countries Vs. Countries.

It's not that most countries retain an ethnic uniqueness, which would make the match interesting.

What awaits us in the globalised world is a series of "national" teams that are, in fact, copies of each other, except they are wearing different flags on their jerseys.

1. What will national teams be like in the future?
2. How can "national" supporters support teams that are clearly a patchwork that does not represent local admixture?

its to normalize niggers and foreigners being champions under your flag

it is yet another jewish trick

True. At this point, we're just rooting for laundry.

*inhales*

>we're just rooting for laundry
I couldn't have put it more briefly.

At this stage, it is way better to support private football clubs to see what the occasional tycoon is able to pull out of his capitalist hat.

Sweden wins again

Leaf here.

We have a national women's ice hockey team that faces 0 competition. They completely crush everyone else and it's hilarious.

That said, I don't care about it regardless. I just like when Canada wins BOTH men's and women's Olympic ice hockey.

Yeah, pretty much this

There's nothing wrong with international games, the thing I have a problem with is having foreigners play in private leagues within the country.

More like this.

Sorry, Mario. You can only post on Sup Forums if your country is going to the World Cup.

National team sports are obviously a way to vent patriotism/nationalism in a harmless way without anything messy or meaningful, like a revolution or war. Tbh is has all the earmarks of a purposeful manipulation, so I'll just assume it is.

This. Based Kyle Walker and Dele Ali. We love our half cast mongrels, don't we folks?

Apologies.
I thought you could post only if your country won the WC at least once.

...and, last time I checked for Bongs, it was England and not Wales or Scotland or the UK who won [giggles].

Pic is exactly me typing, BTW. I fully identify with that man.

checked
WC here in the US in '94 was my only up close and personal experience with true national teams. I follow the Central and South American seleccions more than the US for the very reasons you brought up, they may have one or two imported "citizens" but for the most part the players are still from the countries they're playing for. Even the Mexi-league teams have a limit on how many imports can play on a local club (I think 4, max). Lucky to have a couple of local semi-pro clubs to watch in person here, with the occasional MLS game to catch someone like Kaka, David Silva, or Pirlo before they retire.
>t. snuck a portable tv into work to watch the '82 WC Finals on tape delay back in the day

It's just bantz, lad. I like Italy. I'm genuinely heartbroken for Gigi Buffon. He deserved better for his final game.

To show off rage bulges.

This guy has a very nice one.

This, I feel bad for Buffon aswell, Its his final game and there is fans with no respect on the stage, Game didn't turn out as planned and resulted in Italy not proceeding to the world cup which has not happend in 60 years.
I genuinely feel bad for the guy he just wanted to play a really good game and help his team win.

>Italy, which is ready to give citizenship to anyone with even the remotest Italian ancestors just to have them play in their national teams.
They do that to anyone with Italian ancestors irregardless of their ability to play football

fpbp thank you that needed to be said

Agreed
USA isn't going to the world cup

You think football is bad for this, look at Rugby Union. You just need to stop off at the airport for a piss and they'll throw a national jersey on you!

I only support 100% white countries.

The Eternal Sverige

We're so alpha we can send 4 teams whereas countrylets only send one

Did I mention we invented football as well?

Watching football is kinda gay for me desu better watch woman playing with balls *wink

This is a pic of the "Slovenian" national basketball team.

>Butthurt Italian reporting in.

Their purpose like yours is slide threads you worthless pizza nigger.

uncut for sure. also nice post number. would blow. flick gently. and sword fight

New Zealand goes on and on about muh all blacks. most of the team are immigrants.

You guys are fucked up man

I personally watch football only when national teams are playing, since the leagues just tend to be a mixed bag of niggers running around, be it Spanish, British or Italian league. Too bad some national teams have been spoiled already.

Question to you frogs: does it bother your average French football fan to have a national team full of niggers?

Still 3 whites, not diverse enough

Is it a Flemish/Wallonian thing for you?

>I personally watch football only when national teams are playing, since the leagues just tend to be a mixed bag of niggers running around, be it Spanish, British or Italian league. Too bad some national teams have been spoiled already.
THIS.

Are you serious? All those african and asian nations and barely any white ones??

Surely this is a trick?

My bad, read graph wrong

Our "national" team is also a joke in that matter, italian bro. 1/3 of them are immigrants of 2ยบ generation from afrca or brazil.

Yea your only 2 golds

I didn't support french team for that reason

hln.be/video/-ils-sont-fous-bewoners-filmen-hoe-plunderaars-25-minuten-lang-ongestoord-te-werk-gaan-in-brussel~aeceb9b5/

A gang of angry youth from Molenbeek decided it was a good idea to loot stores and set rage. In the horrific video you can see how they import armies to conquer Europe. We're lost...

>Question to you frogs: does it bother your average French football fan to have a national team full of niggers?

there's worse, the fact that each time this "diverse" team wins a competition, all of our media praise multiculturalism and use it to prove how great mass immigration is. They started it with World Cup 1998 which in the media was not a french victory but an arab and black victory

so basically everytime the french team plays I end up rooting for the other country (unless it's an equally mongrelized team like England or Netherlands, in which case I dont care). Funny how everytime I say this it seems to deeply offend the cuck white males around me who unironically cheer everytime those negroes get the ball

Which is weird, it should be Sweden the team with niggers. I thought France wasn't that cucked.

Buffon is an old man who played in every world cup since 1826, had his day. Him, Chiellini, maybe Immobilie on a good day, only players wort that shirt. Rest of them are p1sh, and the 'manager' was worse, had no business spoiling Vlads kickabout with their wop theatrics. Ciao Italia!

Same for me. I support the whitest team.
If I support Belgium, why not Congo or Morroco?

Do you object to non-whites on the French team, or the number of non-whites? Because France has had black players on their national team since the 1970's. It's hardly a new thing. You're right though, as much as I love my country, it's hard to root for England when literally half the team are blacks, or half-castes. One or two are okay, but any more than that and it's just off-putting. Why would I support a team full of ethnic aliens, that don't represent me or my nation. Imagine if most of the Nigerian team was white, or the Japanese team were majority non-Japanese. It'd be fucking weird and people would start asking questions.

because socialists in the 1880s thought it would be a good idea to annex half of Africa, teach them french, democracy etc... so we ended up with a shitload of africans very early in the century

1920s Paris was already packed with negroes (not at the same level as it is today of course, but still) while your average Swede didn't even know that they existed

now in the long run it's a different thing. Sweden has been so cucked in the past 20 years that if they keep up like this they will disappear way before us

England and Scotland thought it would be fun to get the best footballing lads from their countries and have a kick about. Good times were had and the popularity of international football matches grew from there.

Winning responses

>Do you object to non-whites on the French team, or the number of non-whites?

the number, of course. I wouldn't mind if it was like 2 or 3 blacks, but now its ridiculous 90% of the team is negro. I swear mid/late 2000s French team was not different from fucking Congo's if not for the jerseys.

Its not like they're good or anything, there's just a politic in french football of praising big bucks running fast over smaller but more technical players, even though the best player in the world is a white manlet and that the best team in the world is virtually full european (spain).

I don't give a shit about football really but if I did I would be mad yeah

WHEN I SAY THIS LINK ANSWERS EVERYTHING I AM NOT JOKING

"SPORTS AS A TOOL OF SOCIAL CHANGE

And along these lines then we can talk about sports. Sports in the United States was to be changed, in part as a way of de-emphasizing nationalism. Soccer, a world-wide sport, was to be emphasized and pushed in the United States. This was of interest because in this area the game of soccer was virtually unknown at that time. I had a few friends who attended an elementary school other than the one I attended where they played soccer at their school, and they were a real novelty. This was back in the 50's. So to hear this man speak of soccer in this area was kind of surprising. Anyhow, soccer is seen as an international sport and would be promoted and the traditional sport of American baseball would be de-emphasized and possibly eliminated because it might be seen as too American. And he discussed eliminating this. one's first reaction would be - well, they pay the players poorly and they don't want to play for poor pay so they give up baseball and go into some other sport or some other activity. But he said that's really not how it works. Actually, the way to break down baseball would be to make the salaries go very high. The idea behind this was that as the salaries got ridiculously high there would be a certain amount of discontent and antagonism as people resented the athletes being paid so much, and the athletes would begin more and more to resent among themselves what other players were paid and would tend to abandon the sport. And these high salaries also could break the owners and alienate the fans. And then the fans would support soccer and the baseball fields could be used as soccer fields. It wasn't said definitely this would have to happen, but if the international flavor didn't come around rapidly enough this could be done.

There was some comment along the same lines about football, although I seem to recall he said football would be harder to dismantle because it was so widely played in colleges as well as in the professional leagues and would be harder to tear down. There was something else also about the violence in football that met a psychological need that was perceived, and people have a need for this vicarious violence. So football, for that reason, might be left around to meet that vicarious need. The same thing is true of hockey. Hockey had more of an international flavor and would be emphasized. There was some foreseeable international competition about hockey and particularly soccer. At that time hockey was international between the United States and Canada. I was kind of surprised because I thought the speaker just never impressed me as being a hockey fan, and I am. And it turns out he was not. He just knew about the game and what it would do to this changing sports program. But in any event soccer was to be the keystone of athletics because it is already a world wide sport in South America, Europe, and parts of Asia and the United States should get on the bandwagon. All this would foster international competition so that we would all become citizens of the world to a greater extent than citizens of our own narrow nations.

There was some discussion about hunting, not surprisingly. Hunting requires guns and gun control is a big element in these plans. I don't remember the details much, but the idea is that gun ownership is a privilege and not everybody should have guns. Hunting was an inadequate excuse for owning guns and everybody should be restricted in gun ownership. The few privileged people who should be allowed to hunt could maybe rent or borrow a gun from official quarters rather than own their own. After all, everybody doesn't have a need for a gun, is the way it was put. Very important in sports was sports for girls. Athletics would be pushed for girls. This was intended to replace dolls. Baby dolls would still be around, a few of them, but you would not see the number and variety of dolls. Dolls would not be pushed because girls should not be thinking about babies and reproduction. Girls should be out on the athletic field just as the boys are. Girls and boys really don't need to be all that different. Tea sets were to go the way of dolls, and all these things that traditionally were thought of as feminine would be de-emphasized as girls got into more masculine pursuits. Just one other things I recall was that the sports pages would be full of the scores of girls teams just right along- there with the boys teams. And that's recently begun to appear after 20 years in our local papers. The girls sports scores are right along with the boys sports scores. So all of this is to change the role model of what young girls should look to be. While she's growing up she should look to be an athlete rather than to look forward to being a mother.""

>Butthurt Italian reporting in.
kekikity kek Italian football is italian culture. So many suicides.

fpbp

I'm surprised the people at the stadium didn't break the fences, invaded the field and beat down everyone involved in the Italian national team desu

>Sweden in particular

Our national team is literally 23/25 Swedish. Ibrahimovic doesn't play anymore.

Stop being butthurt tha we rekt you, spaghettinigger.

Again, here is 9 Swedish names, 1 Danish and 1 Finnish. We're probably the WHITEST team in Western Europe.
