We were in Bilbao last year, and went to San Sebastian, some beautiful country there.

I guess thats as much a matter of who one plays for as where one is from.

Many parts of the Basque country look like something out of Tolkien.

Some were, most weren’t.

Incorrect. I just went to the wiki page for the French national team. Of the black players on the "current squad," 13 were born in France, while 4 were not. Check it yourself if you want to:

Here's an entertaining compilation of poor penalties. In one of them, Neymar, a very technically gifted player, sends is penalty shot far into the stands. Not even close. It does happen. Not infrequently.

Leftist DemocRATS hate America as much or more than Rapino does, and they do MUCH more damage.

Are you Basque? From there?

Athletic Bilbao is one of my favorite teams. I also like Osasuna - but not Real Sociedad.

My mom’s family is from Bilbao.

Her Basque family last names are Guerrero, Lopez de Lara, and Arista.

That’s recent.

And just because you were born in France (or anywhere else for that matter) doesn’t make you ‘French’.

Over the years they have all been a hodge-podge of UN “Unesco” type players.

The most embarrassing WC was 2002 when almost all of their players were foreign legionaries and they got crushed.

An easy team to cheer against.

it's unpatriotic to not support it. “Dissent is the highest form of patriotism”

I do not support them. I dissent to the highest degree against their anti-American behaviour.

So I guess I am an unpatriotic patriot.
