Unfortunately I will not be able to see this one live because I'm going to be flying home but hopefully I will be there to see us in the final...

I think Burning Down's boyfriend who joined was Croatian. Either that or Serbian.

The latter. He'd probably kick your ass if you called him a Croat.

Yeah, the Croats and Serbs aren't exactly buddies.

I want to see not England win, it will be more amusing to read here. Celebratory posts make me nauseous.

It wouldn't be amusing if no English people posted though.

I don't care. 700 years of oppression? Fluff's manner and quiet dignity has turned me around on the whole thing.

COME ON ENGLAND!!!!!!

He would be an idiot if he did that...

It's a complex situation and we have a lot of work to do before we start really putting what happened in the last 25 years behind us (and the politicians are certainly not helping, since it's in their interest to keep the status quo) but I think a lot of young people are over that animosity nowadays, or they should be at least. At least the more educated, erudite ones. I imagine people who join this forum are not the typical balcanic types.

I have no problems with serbs, only with hate-mongering people (of any nationality).

In.

For our American posters considering getting involved (Charles and Ki) now is a good time. The first semi final tonight, France vs Belgium. Two big hitters. World class players everywhere. Starts in ten minutes.
