Lebanese Man 'Defects' from...Italian Football Team

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

The video of a Lebanese man announcing his “defection” from the Italian national football team went viral over the internet on Thursday.

The video shows three men standing with the flag of Brazil hung behind them. One of them declared his “defection” following Italy's loss and announced that he will now support the Brazilian national team.

The video was mockingly filmed in a manner imitating videos of terrorists when they claim responsibility for a terror attack, announce defection or even support certain groups.

On Tuesday, Italy lost the game against Uruguay and bowed out of the World Cup Games.

why is this a story?

Because it reminds us that Lebanese people still have a sense of humour, in spite of everything. At least these people are still trying to do something positive and make their fellow Lebanese smile. Kudos to them.

By mistake, they actually wanted to put it under the "OFFBEAT" section

3,000 views qualify it as viral now?!

Lebanon is small, proportionately in America that would have done about 400,000 views

Is life difficult being such a bigot? I read your comments, I also hate Hezbollah, but you are as hateful as those you criticize and I say this as a Lebanese foremost and also as a Shiite. As far as I am concerned, all sectarian parasites, whether takfiri, Hezb, or scum like you, are all the same.

Funny? Not funny? Poor sportsmanship for sure! Lebanese people don't quit when they lose, they just try harder to win next time!
