      Best defender in the world. The next game after that lazio game was back home in Napoli. 60,000 people jd a picture of koulis face and was given a standing ovation. He was in tears. One of the most amazing things I’ve seen.

      Thank you Derek Jeter and the Tribune crew, I loved that part about the kid especially when he went back to give him the shirt and the kid apologized. It is the world I want to see, overall you are one of the best defenders in the world Kouli and Africa loves you brother. Goodluck for the world cup

      Nothing wrong being black, yellow, brown or white, is all down to the individual's personality, and that's it, that's the fundamental of being a good person
