Such a wonderful day. It was frightening when the Kruats went full blitzkrieg on us on the last 10 minutes and scored two goals to cut the margin to just one point, though...

Really? using slurs like "Kraut" and "Jerries"? Nasy, in my opinion.
That's football!!
You wouldn't get it.
But no one is offended in those countries, would you legislate that they should?The sport does not justify ethnic slurs.

At any rate, now you know - on this forum, at least some of us are offended. What you do with the knowledge is up to you.
Also, Wops are lazy...

Why are you offended?
Where are you from that finds harmless banter offensive?
Europeans celebrate it.
It's an identity thing.
I have never met a scouser or a tyke or a Geordie who found their nicknames offensive.Empathy. I am offended by slurs against people whether I am or am not a member of the group being slurred.
It's one thing if a member of a group refers to another member of the group by a slur; that can, sometimes, be an identity thing.
On a msg board where we don't know where anyone is from or what group they belong to, it's offensive.
