David Silva has japanese ancestry from his mother side

[Aramis]

David Silva has japanese ancestry from his mother side

One can see that in his eyes.

[nisse]

Does Torres have non-Spanish ancestry/is he for some special region of Spain?

He looks celtic to me :ohwell:

lol. He is pure spanish of galician descend. Actually looking celtic in Spain is very common, not an exception.

[Lars]

Dang, Spain sure is multicultural.

[Tony]

Had they worn the shirt of any Latin American countries like Argentina or Mexico #s 6 8 11 15 17 18 would have easily passed for mestizos.

[Comte Arnau]

Dang, Spain sure is multicultural.

Indeed.

Let me singularize the two "pure" Catalans out of them all:

Capdevila reminds me a lot of Michael Beck , the actor who played "Swan" the Warrior...

Thinking about that I returned to the FIFA source:
http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/teams/index.html

...and checked Mexico and Argentina national teams (just the 8 first players).

Here the results.

[Tony]

Some of them are really scary , Veron (#8) looks like he's just came out of a hispanic LA gang , #7 could pass for a Vulcan , #3 seems to have Inca roots , #2 is a tranny.
It seems to me that in Spain mestizos or the suspect samples are a minority while in Mexico and Argentina mestizos , indio and Europeans offset each other

[Guapo]

One can see that in his eyes.

Yes, he might have the buck teeth too.

[Pallantides]

David Silva has japanese ancestry from his mother side

According to wikipedia his mother is half Filipino.

[Ibericus]

According to wikipedia his mother is half Filipino.
That's the english wikipedia and it's wrong. The spanish wikipedia has it right. Here is a spanish newspaper report on him :
http://www.laprovincia.es/secciones/noticia.jsp?pRef=2008062900_10_160805__Deportes-David-Silva-nieto-tirajanera
" una guapísima canaria con ascendencia japonesa -de ahí los rasgos orientales del chico-"

All of these guys look pure European...impressive.

[Eldritch]

Nothing much to add except that Carles Pyuol looks like Sipe Santapukki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simo_%22Sipe%22_Santapukki).

[perikolez]

All of these guys look pure European...impressive.

These people are more or less 50% of the population in Argentina, and they come from the masive inmigration in the beginning of XXth century. They have mainly italian or non spanish surnames, but there are also many that have spanish surnames.

Mestizos are the other 50% in Argentina , and they come from colonial era , and have mainly spanish surnames , but there some that have italian surname like Di Maria , or italian nacionalized Camoranessi.

I think that in Argentina whites hate mestizos and viceversa:D.

[perikolez]

Had they worn the shirt of any Latin American countries like Argentina or Mexico #s 6 8 11 15 17 18 would have easily passed for mestizos.

Only canarian Pedro Rodriguez , number18 , could pass as mestizo in Mexico or Argentina.
