Epinions Reviewer.
My favorite sports are Soccer{Italy, AC Milan, & Brazil}, the NFL{Steelers, Vikings, & Giants}, & Hockey{Islanders}. I also like Lacrosse & Rugby. I'm a Romanophile, a partial Anglophile, moderate-conservative Republican. I believe in Historical Truth, not propaganda, fanatical nationalism, or slander. Historical revisionism is fine when backed by PROOF. EX: The dementia about the Celts has gone insane, these folks used human sacrifice, attacked their neighbors regularly, & sold their own women into slavery which there Greek & Roman opponents NEVER DID. Yet, they are portrayed as humane victims who treated their women well? Sounds like a political agenda that wishes to REWRITE HISTORY WITHOUT PROOF!!! The best reviewer at Amazon.com is the great James Egolf. While Tom Plum-Kenny is an anti-Italian & anti-German BIGOT!!!!! Please call Amazon at 1-866-216-1072 or 1-800-201-7575 to protest his comments & reviews.

All 3 get low ratings, ask inane questions, don't listen to their guests, & are unfair left wingers who won't let those they bash on their shows.

5 AnswersComedy1 decade agoWhat American TV Shows Get The Highest Ratings In The Most Foreign Countries?
I'm asking from say 1950-present, whether they are reruns of shows that ended
40 years ago like "I Spy" or ones that ended their run in the USA more recently,

4 AnswersComedy1 decade agoWhat country produces the most female models & or supermodels?
I have read from time to time that Brazil does, while in proportion to their small population the Czech Republic does. This is the most trivial question I have ever asked.
Personally, I find Manuela Arcuri, Sofia Vergara, & Adriana Lima as the sexiest models since they have real breasts & figures rather than the anorexic types.
13 AnswersOther - Cultures & Groups1 decade agoSoccer, My Top Italian 11 Since 1965. Who would you Choose?
I would have Buffon in goal, defenders-Rosato, Cannavaro, Baresi,& Maldidi{subs-Facchetti & Gentile}. In midfield-Mazzola, Rivera, & Conti{subs-Antognoni, Tardelli & Benetti}. Forwards-Rossi, Riva, & Roberto Baggio{subs-Bettega, Inzaghi, & Vieri}
Some of my choices may surprise? But, as an example I picked Roberto Rosato because he shut down 2 deadly forwards at the 1970 finals. First Gerd Muller{ the best German forward ever} for 90 minutes of the semi-final until Rosato was oddly replaced with a raw player who then let Muller score 2. Then in the final Tostao was so frustrated that he could not get away from him that he shoved Rosato down. Facchetti & Gentile are my subs because they also could attack & yet had the speed to get back in defense.
I put Rivera with Mazzola out of balance. Rivera was all offense while Mazzola could help the defense when needed. Pele said that Conti was the mvp of the 82 finals because he could do everything well, that's good enough for me. If the defense was being hardpressed Benetti & Tardelli were tough & could also score, while Antognoni was a frailer but more creative version of Conti.
I salivated at the idea of the 3 forwards, all of whom gave defenders fits. Rossi could score with both feet & his head, while Riva & Baggio were deadly shooters. Riva was combative & Baggio downright mystical the way he could create goals out of air. The 3 forward subs are more laborer types{Inzaghi getting called offsides as an example} who would be good in case the others had run out of energy. I can't think of 2 hungrier for goal types than Inzaghi & Vieri, while Bettega had more total skill.

3 AnswersOther - Soccer1 decade ago" Who are the real LATINS? As in which nationality{ies}? "?
This is not a racist ?, so relax. It is an honest observation that many call themselves "Latins" without having a clue about the origin & history of the growth of this very crucial & distinctly European culture on the growth of western civilization. Just because, someone speaks a Latin based language does not mean they are "Ethnically or in some cases culturally Latins." Can native Americans or former African slaves truly consider themselves to be ethnically Latin, or just culturally by assimilation or conquest?

8 AnswersOther - Music1 decade agoRivera & Mazzola together could have taken Brazil's weak defense apart in the 1970 Final?
Mazzola had played well in the first half, while golden boy Riva did not. It was unthinkable to take Mazzola off at halftime. So, why did'nt Valcareggi put in Rivera for say De Sisti at the half instead of the last 6 minutes when the game was already lost? Most make the mistake of trying to stop Brazil's fine attack, rather than go after their weakness, their porous defense. Valcareggi cost Italy dearly, & many will never forgive him.
