The Wops have got the early goal so don't need to cheat. It will be a different story though if Ukraine earn an equalizer.

I would continue with your analysis but I don't agree with the ethnic denigration.

I thought that was an American term, I guess not, lol. I think it's harmless, but you may get some flack for that though, as I imagine there's some people here who won't take too kindly to it being used.

"Wops" are Italian-Americans. The term "Wop" means "Without Papers" meaning, an immigrant who came to this country without any documentation. The paperwork given to them when they entered the country was stamped WOP.

Somewhere along the line, this term became exclusively associated with Italian-Americans. Not sure how. But the guys playing for team Italy aren't "wops." I'm not really sure what they are.

Just to show you I'm not some sensitive weenie, feel free to call me a frog all you want. I don't care.
