Only read the posted paragraph so I don't know who is talking. Hoever, notice the usage of the American term, "soccer," instead of the annoying label that the Eurinals use, i.e., "football." There was a Brit on TV last night (PBS?) who also said "soccer." Does this mean that the Eurinals are abandoning their mistaken label and adopting proper sports terminology?

Maybe the Brit called it soccer because that is what Americans call it. However, is there not a bit of arrogance at your calling the WORLD term (football) for soccer a mistaken label, when "Football" was the name used for soccer before (American) football even existed.

As for "Eurinals", does that go for the British soldiers who are in Iraq and Afghanistan fighting alongside Americans and the mothers of the dead British soldiers, or are you just being puerile?

"Eurinal" is a term of derision that applies to those countries that abandoned perfectly good currencies and adopted the "Euro" (how could Greece give up a curriency mentioned in the Bible; how could France abandon the FrF?).

These countries constitute what will be the German Fifth Reich when their economies fail (they look ok on paper but they've reported fake numbers) and only Germany and the DM will be strong enough to bring them round.

Sure, the Brits have avoided becoming Eurinals, so far. But, let's see what the next election brings, eh?
