blk grl from OhioWhere are you from, Bird?
We are actually not from the same country. We speak in English most of the time!
Well actually, I am 3/4 Slovenian and 1/4 Croatian. My paternal grandad is Croatian. My paternal grandmother is Slovenian, but has some Austrian roots.
Now my step dad is from Slovakia. So there is a whole mix of Slavic languages in my family.
Hi @philostam sorry for interrupting your chat, but I had to make a comment.
I actually thought your girlfriend might be somewhere from the southeastern Europe, but you definitely from the Balkans (ex-Yu countries) - because of your eyes I think
I never considered my looks to suggest anything specific, basically I though I could easily be confused for many other nationalities.
Yes, probably.
I should have written "recognized", sorry. I'm from Serbia so I could easily tell, there is something in your features resembling that look, don't know how to explain it
Oh, really?! That's amazing, I honestly didn't expect anyone else here to be from ex-Yugoslavia.
Balkans are a fascinating place, to be honest. I see the Balkan spirit as very Se: brave, rebellious, a bit reckless and challenging of authority. I think it can be very powerful if contained and disciplined.
I am also fascinated by footballers the Balkans produced over the years. I think in mentality they are quite similar to South Americans, especially Uruguay and Argentina. The more hostile the atmosphere. the better they play. It's amazing, to be honest.
We are everywhere. I'm born in Croatia, father is Bosnian and my mother is Serbian.
You pinpointed the mentality of Balkans footballers, but I would also like to add the pretty common thing of losing head as well and sabotage for themselves as a team.
YESYeah, but many countries also sabotage themselves in football (England, khm).
Wow, that's quite a mixture.
Yeah, but many countries also sabotage themselves in football (England, khm). I think only Italy and Germany have this reputation to "get it over the line".
I do agree though, the Balkan spirit can definitely escalate in a negative way. Composure is perhaps not our strength.
Just around 2 years ago...versus Croatia.
To be honest, England produces bad players. Rigid woods, we call them. There is an occasional artist, but mostly they're just some physical specimens.
Is this a set up?Just around 2 years ago...versus Croatia.

But Croatia had a far better team than England then. I'm stoked about Sancho!

You're gonna have to expand upon that, Ex-Pap:I agree with what you both say regarding the "spirit" - I now live in Portugal and before that was shortly in Spain, and I've found the people's disposition and attitude somewhat similar, especially in Spain (though people here usually ask if I'm British or even Scandinavian ).
Wow, so this thread is acquiring new topic...
