Could have been worse. If I'd have to pick one team to lose the qualification to, it'd be Ireland. The absolute best supporters in the world. If you win from them, they'll buy you a beer, if you lose to them, they'll buy you a beer.

It was hard to stay mad over it with you guys around. One of them nicked my Lions Head though as a trophy :D

edit: Hang on. That means I agree on your vote :eek:

Better than the Jamaicans? Better than the Brazilians? I personally have always had a soft spor for Holland since MvB, the best striker of my lifetime. the man was a God
 
I'd rather live in a Europe-like world than an US-like world. Europe may not have church/state separation, but that can be changed -- and at least Europeans are SANE about their religious beliefs.
 
Riiiight, because comparing a couple dozen countries with a 2000 year long history to a single country with a two hundred year history is fair?

Ok, right back at you. Who has had more wars in the last 200 years then....the USA or Europe?

My point being that the original allegation (that I was replying to) about the EU is simply historically preposterous.
