My team won the Super Bowl this year, a record number six, and has it's first preseason game against the team that they beat, The Arizona Cardinals.

I still don't have a clue about American football, but would like to know just for curiosity.

Ok, T. I know a lot more about American football than I do The Cuban Revolt, but you can think Capitalism, corruption, gambling casinos, organized crime infiltration, wide separation of the haves and have nots... so enter Che and Fidel and Socialism and now, everybody (almost) is poor, Obama just ok'ed American travel to Cuba...

Anyway, i just got a interested in the Cuban Revolution and read more, and more and more, watched everything i can on youtube, then bought 'Che'.

I'm totally open-minded on subjects though and would never want to come across like i favour any of this historical figures, just simply intrigued by the events, that's all. I wouldn't buy a che t-shirt as i understand the aspect of hypocricy, but i do want one.

Che is something of an icon ,his face was on T shirts in my youth when I had hair down to my waist and was hitch hiking around the globe.
People forget ,or don't know that he was in charge of execution squads ,in the early days of the revolution.
Guevara's hands were as blood stained as Batista's.
Haven't been to Cuba yet ,but will do at some point.
I want to see Hemingway's finca in Havana, that's a must for me.
Kid Chocolate, Kid Gavilan, Jose Napoles. Must be something in the water.
The language is Portugese ,which is incomprehensible to me,but a fascinating place.
Andy Garcia, good actor ,and the only Cuban star I'm aware of.
Now ,about Ronaldo leaving Man U

Obama did? It's a bit shit that i know more of political ongoings from the past than i do of today really. So is the embargo still in existence?

Any time you want to explain your sport to me just go ahead, the only thing is, i warn you, it will need explaining from the very begining.

I would love to see McVey kill someone.

I'm pretty sure not only can Americans go to Cuba for the first time in what? 50 years, we will also be able to get good Cuban cigars up here...

Pro football, meh! A lot of people have trouble with it. Not sure exactly why it's so hard to understand. When it's not so late for you, we'll have a go, if you want.

I always though they spoke Spanish and the only Portugese spaeaking country is Brazil no? The Spaniards took over, or began to take over Cuba in 1511 and the language has been there ever since. Am i completely mistaken here?

Yeah i know all about the tribunals and execution squads, it's just his ideals that he felt so strong about creating. Che Guevara's (not Castro the native Cuban's) dream was to bring the revolution to the whole of South America and 'liberate' it, so that the poorer continent would not help develop the most developed country in the world which neighbours it.
