wrong country won?

I wonder if the moment of silence idea will go through at the final match. It will be really fun to see if FIFA approves it!

It didn't go through since some asshole in FIFA stated it would be "impropriate" due the fact that Nelson Mandela got his 40-something years prison sentance on the same date (11/7). That's one of the stupidest arguments I've read in my life, and not only it was stupid - it was even a plain lie since apparently Mandela was sentenced on an entirely different date, 16/6, if I'm not mistaken.

Oh well, just like UN ignored the massacres in the 90s, I guess nothing changed in present day to at least honor the victims.


The biggest irony was that Holland, whose soldiers are responsible for not preventing Srebrenica-massacre - played the finals. I'm so happy that the pot-smoking fags didn't win.

You know, it isn't the actual football team who commands their army, right?

Correct, but the actual football team is the extension of the Dutch nation, and I hate Dutch nation. Comprende?
It would be devastating for every normal human being who lost somebody in the massacre, that very same date, to see that the nation whose army is responsible for it - is celebrating. That's why I was happy (and it was quite ironic too) when they lost - Amsterdam was quiet, some people cried. It was like they were actually grieving, on the same day Srebrenica massacre happened.

I'm not sure about the Dutch, but I know I am totally ignorant to these massacres to the extent I actually have no idea.

Interesting fact: Srebrenica massacre was at 11.7. (1995). Dutch soldiers handed over the civilians to the butchers who killed ~10.000 people afterwards.
Spain scored a winning goal at 117th minute.

[Anomonous Guy]

Just did some reading, and jeez.. That is pretty damn bad. How the heck didn't I ever hear of this before?

Don't worry Anom, a lot of things go by without being noticed. The wrong thing is not being interested in it once you are told about it

[Trouble]

Genocide goes unreported more often then people know. Especially countries like Britain and American, even Australia.

The simple truth is that if it isn't effecting you as a person, or your country, most average people just do not care. It's like with the Jews; people act horrified by what happened 70 years ago, bu in reality, no one except the die hards care.

Scary shit, especially due the fact that you are a new generation from one of the most influential nations in the world.

PS.
But I still think you are just uninformed / uninterested. England is not exactly the worst example (like USA) where people are not informed about the things in the world, Europe in particular.
