I'll say you have! The magnetic mines are sinking merchant ships left and right. The Brits have gotten their hands on one of the devices and will start working on counter-measures (like the "degaussing" technique you mentioned) ASAP, but in the meantime it threatens to paralyze merchant shipping. Not only that, but the RN got an ominous message from the Rawalpindi, an armed merchantman, today. The German raiders may be running amok in the north Atlantic. On top of these crises the situation in Finland is deteriorating at an alarming rate. I don't see how you can worry about football at a time like this. New movie releases, OK, but football?
You have to remember, I’m over here in America. Why should I concern myself with the goings on over there in Europe. That’s their problem. Football is important. ;)
