I am also 1 of 3 teams of English decent. We also got a mix of a ton of Mexicans, and Columbian, a Togolese, French, Canadian and Italians. To be honest I was expecting more Asian (Japan, South Koreans on the team as well but there is a South Korean on my school team). </font>
<br><br>The more I am getting to know arsenalfan, the more awestruck I am. Unimaginable that someone born and raised in the US would take so much interest in crappy Indian football. Some of us, especially in Calcutta do it because we were born and raised with it, football is very very integral to Bengali culture, barring the americanized (and they could have never even visited or lived in the US for a single day, only exposure being through electronic media) ones though. <br>

<br><br>What else ? He is the KID on this forum, I used to be a bit pissed at him in the beginning for him painting Calcutta football with one fell stroke, but now that I know his background, I can understand very very well where he is coming from ? Not his fault at all, I have lived in the US long enough to know this very well. I was under the impression of him being one of those parochial goan supremacist, my fault ! On the Indian football live forum, there are some of these and I saw the other day one of the admins speaking up against it. Once I see these goan supremacists, I throw all secularism to the winds and don my bengali supremacist hat. )P<br>
haha true, I try not to engage with them and the moment I see some abusive comment I try some meditation technique to passify my temper and it works most of the time.
Hahaha thanks guys. I am actually very touched. This is why I love this place, meet some great people and it actually helps for the future. Because of this place and wikipedia I am looking forward to AP Statistics in 2 years.<div><br></div><div>Oh @Projenator<;/div><div><br></div><div>CALCUTTA SUCKS!!!!!!!!! :P</div>
