"U-S-A....U-S-A"
He won't see this, as he ignores me, but he is just that type of dude. Some people's chirrens think that making fun of foreign names is hilarious, for whatever reason. Just know that all Americans are not like that.
And to whomever said that Phuc Luong "would be used to it by now".. Eh.. I don't see why. When he plays at home, nobody is making fun of his name. If he is playing in a large event, one would HOPE his fellow players from other countries would be classier than to make fun of his name for simply "sounding like" something in their native tongue.. There are only so many dipthongs that humans are capable of, people.
Ethnocentrism, raising it's ugly head, yet again..

Tell us about the Viet (hope that reference is okay) field. Who are the players to watch?
