One thing I really wouldn't mind seeing more of is a national indentity thing going on, we have "West vs East" and NA/Euro/Korea somewhat, but for example I'll always cheer for Demuslim as he's a Brit and pretty much all we've got (helps that he's an awesome guy). Couldn't help but smile when Nani said he went to DH as its his home, over MLG. | ||

LOL JK err.. what else would it be.. genetics? :D People from the US are a LOT louder and "in your face" than swedes. It's just the way it is. In Sweden you don't talk to people you don't know, period. Doesn't matter if it's a celebrity or a junkie, you leave people the f alone. | ||

NaNiwa is not really saying that Americans are especially rude or something, he's just saying that you are more forward, not afraid to approach him and ask for autographs and such. Swedes can be kind of shy generally speaking, so we wont approach someone in the same way or as often. He may be referring to bandwagon fans that go nuts and expect a championship after a 2 game winning streak, and act as if the sky is falling and everyone on the team should be fired after a 2 game losing streak. I'd imagine a lot of sports fans in the US are like that. It's like that up here in Canada. You should hear all the Leafs fans' ankles breaking from jumping on and off the Blue Jays bandwagon constantly | ||

LOL JK Thats not how he said it though, he said in a very respectful manner and didn't really imply that Americans are rude or anything. rather, as mentioned earlier in thread, pointing out that American fans are more straight forward than Swedish fans. No American should take offense of this because it was certainly not said in a negative way. | ||

I don't know, I think people are slightly less outgoing in Canada, despite the fact it's not too too different.. maybe Nani would be fine with a tournament hosted here? O:Nice interview though, as always with Nani. Thank you very much for the translation. | ||

I had actually never heard him speak Swedish before, and his accent kiinda surprised me. Which is odd really, as I hadn't ever thought about which part of the country he was from before, but somehow it did. | ||

I don't know if it's the language barrier, but every interview I see or read about him, he comes off as pretty anti-social. That in and of itself would be enough to not enjoy being swarmed by fans, but it gets multiplied when it's people of different cultures, language, etc. I completely understand it as I'm not exactly the most social person myself. | ||
