lol ronaldo stil a selfish bich...

Couldn't agree more.. I can't stand the team, but Ronaldo and his team are tremendous at times. I'd go as far as to say that they define the style of La Liga.

Pedro Leon...

kaka was the last time in 2007 good, all brazilinas became lazy after they have everything won, loook at dinho

Let's hope turks are not like brailians!

german ;)

turk actually. his both parents are turkish. but you are right in one aspect. he was raised with german mentality.

Parents are Turkish but he was born in West Germany..so he is German..

The German players seem to have more quality than the Brazilians now!!!

The turks wished he was turkish, which is understandable. But he is german - that is a fact. The whole discussion is ridiculous. And it makes you think why some turks are so insistent about it. Especially the ones who enjoy life and education in germany and then boo Özil for wanting to play for the country he feels at home and that made his success possible. The turks should concentrate their energy on developing their own youth.

It's their blood, and he belongs to them, and i am not a turk to justify their prespective, he has duel nationality, he has chosen the stronger team, Prince boateng was raised in Germany, but he is a true man and said i belong to Ghana, not Germany! Germany doesn't have a national team at the moment, unless u call the united nations Germany!

He is ethnically Turkish, you can't say he's not that's just stupid. It is in his blood, it's a fact but he was born and raised in Germany. I think it's fine if he plays for whichever team. Germany taught him everything he knows and he feels proud of the country he lives in and wants to represent them.

i've never judged him why he chose the german national team. i've just said the facts. if ur parents are turkish then you're turkish biologically. but if he feels like a german, ofcourse he is a german and he can have german citizenship. as a turk i don't give a sh.t which natioanl team he chose.

about booing him: there are differences between turkish fans who live on turkey and the turkish fans who live at other countries. they are more nationalistic because of living in a new, unknown country. so they care more about their home countries. but the native turks aren't like so. i'm sure and u will see mesut (özil) will be applauded at istanbul while playing against turkey.

I am Egyptian, if i went to MIlano to search for a better job or living, does that make me ITalian, and should my kids be considered Italian or Egytpian?! It's a nice debate and again i respect ur opinion, but i think blood comes first!

i think what selman said is important. Actually its that important that every german should read it :D

I know some native turkish people living in turkey and they are very proud of özil. they love him. (of course they are sad that he doesnt play for turkey)

i think the type of turkish fan LIVING in germany is in lot of cases different.

but this leads us to another ENDLESS discussion which is far away from the beginning post :D

in sum i still say: He grew up in germany, even his parents lived the most of their lives in germany, he feels like a german, he is able to play for germany so its okay to play for germany.
otherweise he would play for a team with a mentality he is maybe not used to. I think its maybe a bit olfashined to speak only about the "BLOOD" of someone.

And i think boateng had also some different reasons why he chose Ghana. (bad press about his in germany for example)

What selman said proves my point of view that blood comes first, these turks who live in Germany say they are germans just to be absorbed to the German society, but inside they feel very turkish and want their home nation to be percieved in the best way in their new society, i have cousins living in the states, and they always tell me they are americans not Egyptians, but when Egypt player USA in the confederations i watched the game with them and they were about to cry after USA won, they wanted to be proud of their home country in their faked society, It's always about home, u would get absorbed but your blood will always show up, RESPECT!

Sorry, I have to disagree. Heart is more important than blood (in fact, if you asked a biologist he would laugh). Take America for example: All people who live there are no patriots and cheer for the country they came from originally. That is what you would say, and it is clearly not the case. Instead what happens there is called a melting pot, and they started new lives with new ideals.
and why do insist on the biological part by answering posts in a football forum with "he is turkish", when you "don't give a s**t" where he plays. again: he is not turkish, he is german. why not just say: he played well, because that is something we can finally agree on.

Because he is Turkish and he also says he is. I'm not saying he's not German in a way also but Turkish is in his genetic makeup. There's no going over that fact.
With the US it's different I feel because there is no set ethnicity. There is no "true American." So most people here consider themselves American and wte they originally are. They support both countries that they are from. Idk how it is in other countries-can someone who is not ethnically German be considered German? I know some countries only give passports to "their" people.

Si, creo que murinho esta el mas grande parte del exito para madrid. Tambien, el equipo tienen mas química. Este año madrid podria ganar la liga encima de barca
