Liverpool and Tottenham will meet in the first all-English final in the tournament for 11 years and 100,000 supporters are expected to arrive in Madrid to watch the action unfold.

For sure. Wellington didn’t have that many troops and they weren’t as thuggish or as drunk. I say Spain will be part of the UK when the “sporting events” are over. :-)

“I’ve read and heard that, for guys, the second brain lies between his legs, and that in many cases, it’s the primary brain.”

Exactly, there are no national teams anymore. The French team that won the world cup was mostly blacks. All sports team nowadays are looking more and more like “American” teams.

OOPS. I think I got the wrong quote in there!

Try this instead...

“Except that the majority of their players are mercenaries from all over the world.”
