At least in Chile I don't think it is. I hear it daily by kids and grandparents alike. I say it myself 9000 times a day. Mostly as an "ah fucking hell/bitch" kinda moment.
Anyways.
I fell asleep but can't believe Greece kept it to a tie with a man down lol. Japan must have really sucked.
Just a note: "puto" is not related to homosexuality here in Brazil. It's a derogatory word, yes, but it stands for "whore" - specifically, a male whore.
It's definitely a problem if the word is being used in a homophobic way... But I'm preeeetty sure 99% of the Brazilians who were chanting it during the last match didn't know it could be used that way.

Mexico gaf- so is it a new thing where it's used in such a way?
Because honestly i've never heard it used as such. When the Mexicans i've been around with (family, classmates, acquaintances) use any sort of homophobic slur, they use the other words that i won't type here. Also they use doble sentido (double speak) to imply such insults.
Has the way puto/putas been used changed the past couple years? Have I just not met ppl that use it? Is it a regional difference within Mexico (some places use it as such, others don't i.e. Jalisco vs Monterrey)
Edit: apparently i've just been sheltered regarding that usage. Turns out plenty of ppl do use it to mean it like that. :0 asked the family real quickly. Huh, the more you learn.

Yeah, we do have many specific homophobic words, but none of them are puto.

It kind of teeters on it. I believe puto pretty much means male prostitute or the dude that is on the receiving end. Latin culture is weird, where a dude can fuck another dude but he can still hold on to his "manliness" because he's not receiving. It can kinda be used in the same ways that faggot is used in America, but who knows. Faggot in Britain means something different. Before this world cup I didn't recall Mexican fans saying "ppppuuuutooo", when I heard it first it was more comical and antagonizing as oppose to being offensive.
Edit: Also I've noticed for a while that the Latin Gay culture in America has adopted the word "gay" as opposed to homosexual or any other term because they're all pretty much offensive.

I'm mexican when I say "puto" it meaning is more like "coward".
Like "no seas puto", "don't be coward".
There is some people that use it to say you are "not-man" enough. I don't think they can prevent the people from saying it.

Also I know cunt is playful in the footy community, but I consider that just as offensive as pussy, puto, joto, faggot, bitch.
Just overwhelmed with emotion. His team being at the world cup just hit him with a lot of feels

Yeah, many times it is the equivalent of 'pussy'. In this context however I think it's closer to 'faggot'.

They also have tons of hentai, and well look at their birth rate.
I wonder what formation and players Prandelli will choose for the game. I really would like to see an attacking group of insigne - immobile/balotelli - cerci at some point. However, I think Pirlo defensive deficiencies might be the reason we don't see a more offensive formation.
Maybe if we win today, Pirlo will be rested and we see verrati take his role against Uruguay.

I never used the word cunt before neogaf told me it was ok. I always though of it as the big no-no word and it was banned on GAF and then unbanned and now I'm calling everyone a cunt all day long in football related threads and I'm cool with it. Context folks. It is everything.

I know. I'm not calling anyone out for it, I've listened to British stand-up, ha. Well my fellow putos, let's have another great ol' cunty time with tomorrow's games, I've never felt this attached to a gaf community till this cunt-of-a-thread came about. I love all you cunts.

So does anyone know how the Brazuca has been received by players in comparison to the Jabulani?

Ah that makes sense. hopefully Ivory Coast can make it to the last 16 cause neither Japan or Greece deserve.
<3 <3 This community is becoming my fav. Lots of funny folks. :3
World Cup is extra fun thanks to this com!!
I saw last week an interview with Uruguay's Loco Abreu, and he said the Jabulani changed completely the direction of a shoot, so the keepers had a bad time with it, and even the headers should be done differently too, and none of these are problems now with this new ball, thank god

Still haven't seen any smashing long shots or free kicks yet though. Pirlo came close.
Definitely one of the better tournaments in recent history.
No it's not
since we're doing tsubasa
supercampeones!
LOL, when this did happen? I watched this a lot when I was a kid but for some reason I remember it like they spent years and years on the same small tournament. I'm guessing you got the same subbed version we did in Mexico, but I don't remember national teams or anything. I loved it because the names of the players were pretty awesome. There was one character who used to be some big time retired Brazilian forward. I guess that wouldn't apply nowadays with the likes of Fred, lol.
I also remember we had a fat kid in school who would play keeper for us and we used to tease him all the time because there was a big, fat keeper in the show too. At least he was pretty good from what I remember.
Ah, that good oldschool childhood bullying amirite ;P
I don't know what happened to them today. As much as i want to support Japan, they've done so terrible these two matches, i think Ivory Coast deserves to move on.
Today's game was especially terrible.

Well, they most certainly do not suck at baseball. So there's that.
Meh. Big players often don't live up to their reputation in World Cups.
Pretty sure playing in the WC instead of resting will be making it worse.

I guarantee Reus would have scored all kinds of goals.
I have a glimmer of hope that we can actually qualify.
We just need to beat Ivory Coast and have Japan lose, or tie with Colombia (very likely).
Ellas!
At the very least Katsouranis won't be playing next match so there is there might be a chance for us

Hope to death Pogba puts in a motm performance.
Yeeeees. More salt for my gyros. Opaaaaaa.

I would rather have someone throw that salt in my damn eyes than watch Greece play. It looks like like shit when they play, pure shit.
