    Disturbing photos in the LIFE spread. And I’m not sure why bloody photo #18 is considered worthy of a “disturbing” warning but the photo of the dead fan at Heysel is not…

    P.S. How did PSG not make this collection?

    To me if you were born in America, and your parents are Amercian, you support America. If your parents are from a different country, it’s a grayer area.

    Also, I think everyone can pick their own national team based on whatever random reason they want. I’m American, my parents are American, I have zero french heritage, and yet I’m a die-hard french NT supporter (as in I refused to talk to people for a week after the 06 world cup) I’m weird, I know, but I still think for Americans, you can really support whoever you want. I’ve got friends who just randomly support the Czech Republic and Russia for instance.

    They downgraded the image for that same exact advertisement. Man the harpoons.
