hello everybody!

Ecuador 2 - Polonia 0

Arriba la TRI...!

I don't see the relevance of the Iraq riots of the 1930s to the emergence of a Palestinian national identity. The circumstances in Iraq and Palestine seem rather different. Can you explain further? Hello. I was pointing out that you were perhaps overrating the impact of Zionism in the rise of Pales...

Hello Sid. Evidently, English Royalty is not my forte; I had the wrong impression. Still, went into a little fact-finding mission. This is what I got: *Prince Arthur (son of Victoria): went to Woolwich, spent his entire life in the Army, made it to Field Marshall. *Prince Arthur (son of Arthur): wen...

Furthermore, I would point out that Zionism began some 50 years before the Holocaust as a result of far lesser threats and when the option of emigration to America was open. Evidently, but how can you measure threats? In 1897 nobody could have thought that mass genocide in Central Europe was a poss...

corderex you seem to pin all the blame of the british, however patton isnt the definithion of polite or courtius You are definitely right. But the thing is that while Patton was more or less kept in control by Eisenhower (he was fired as C-in-C of the 7th Army, and later he didn't got the job as C-...

Well, I guess our chances to get past the first round are slim, but we'll surely give hell to the Germans in Berlin! Don't forget, Ecuador beat Croatia 1-0 four years ago, dragging them out of the Cup along with us! Anyway, all we have is the results during the South American qualifying rounds. Afte...

and let's face it, folks, there's plenty of pro-Reich posting on this website that is so close to adulation that I can't really tell the difference. You got that right. Prit. A lot of pro-Reich/pseudo-Nazi postings, in a forum which, of all things, has a whole section dedicated to the SS. I'd say i...

Like what?

It has been tradition since about 1660 for most male members of the royal family going into the armed services to serve in the navy. Going into the Army, as this generation are, is very much the exception. Well, I thought it was the other way around. Most male members of the Royal family served in ...

I don't know if Marshall could have done a better job than Eisenhower; the real job of Ike was to keep the Anglo-American alliance together in the face of Montgomery's and Alan Brooke's less than amicable attitude. A pure PR job, and Eisenhower did fine. Still, having said that, had Overlord gone so...

Corderex, Now I don't feel so good. Oh woe is us. Maybe there is a reason to kill (oneself) after all. Hey, still we get a free trip and the money, so it's not all bad. :D Well, look at us Ecuadorians: Deutschland, Poland, Costa Rica...yeah, right. As I wrote in some other thread: Ecuador vs. Germa...

Hello. Nationalism was the main driving force behind the creation of the modern nation-states during the 19th century. It's basically about people needing to find some sort of "communality" with one another, to create links -real or imaginary- which allow them to feel part of a community. ...

Sorry Hans, looks like you Aussies are in a tight spot:
BRASIL, ha ha ha!
CROATIA, ouch...
JAPAN, don't know much about Japanese football.

cheers

Thanks for your comments, David. I was wrong: the USS Greer was shot at but never sunk. It was the Greer incident which prompted Rooselvet to inform the American public of his decision to fire on sight. I've always wondered how the American public at the time took the news of the sinking of the Reub...

Besides, I'm not really certain that I should edit anything. Japan and Germany were allies in WWII. By the time Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, German U-Boats had already sunk one American destroyer and damaged another on the high seas. So, who do you think the average Landser rooted for when they heard...
