I seriously doubt that you ever heard of it and the nomination sounds just like the name for a strange country from a marx brothers production... Well, I'm from Slovenia.

Well, to be honest I think neither the English nor the Dutch will win this world cup. The Dutch do not have a bad team, though it is not mature enough, all youngsters and prone to physical injuries. The English? More a collection of individuals imho lead by a rather weak coach. My guess would be either Germany or the " boys from Brasil" :>) will win this cup. Was it not an Englishman who defined soccer as: two times 11 players battle for two times 45 minutes and in the end, the Germans win. ? -> My friend from Uruguay; bear in mind that Brasil won the world cup lots of times and is not exactly an economic world power. All the best to everybody and forgive me for starting this sub-thread about soccer, that obviously does not have anything to do with edged weapons. On the other hand, a famous Dutch coach once mentioned that " soccer is war" . ![]() Last edited by ErnestoJuan; 6th June 2006 at 08:13 PM. Reason: rather embarrassing typo deluxe |

I walk on wooden shoes, in spring I have tulips in the garden and when I drive to my work I see a mill.

USA, Michigan.
That's where real men play real football, not that girl game, with almost 2 hours of running back and forth and then cheering the great victory of 1:0 by group kissing and baring bras. When we win, it is something like 49:27! Then we grill hamburgers , drink beer and gain another 5 pounds in weight. |

I'm from the land that gave the world amok, durians and the present home of Keris Taming Sari, hulu keris ayam teleng and some of the best mandaus you've ever seen.
We have nine Sultans who take turns to be king every five years, whose instrument of office is a gold sheathed keris panjang and an ivory keris tajong ![]() |

Turk from Istanbul.I live in the middle of the town,where for centuries millions of weapons of any class were produced to serve sultans,nobles,vast armies leaving to all directions for endless campaigns and millions of other weapons were taken from surrendering opponents and brought in from invaded lands..I should be envied and assumed as lucky by the oriental arms collectionary point of view,but actually can hardly find anything original else than some rusty knives or very ordinary yataghans!

Talking about soccer World cup, we won the first one. And then won it again in a country, 5 times champion after that, but still crying, 56 years ago....I'm from Uruguay, a country with more cows than people, meaning nothing to economical forces ruling FIFA. Oops, we are out of this cup....
