Alas, I must continue to root for Arturo Vidal and Alexis Sanchez, as well as the good old Stars and Stripes. O.o That's a first, no one ever told me he wished he was german before...

I was in WDW last year and had a wonderfull conversation with one of your fellow american students. He stayed couple of years with his family in germany at an AF base as far as I remember. He said in the US you can choose german as subject in school. So give it a try ^^  Though pronounciation can be though. Like when Monroe couldn't say Umbezahlbar XDD

As for Soccer... thats not my kind of sport. I like Basketball much better. But we are a soccer nation, no doubt about that ;-) You know the Trainer of the US Team is a german, right? He played for our team, when he was younger. My favorite player in his days...

Oh and... Bayern München is the most famous but also the most disliked Club in Germany. There's a saying "Wir würden nie zu Bayern München gehen = We never would go to Bayern München" XDD I'm from Berlin, that saying goes especially for us ;-)

and nationalism... well... I'd rather say no... since ww2 germans are very very very critical about that point. Unless it's Soccer World Championship XD

But, ähhh, we're way OOT, maybe we could talk about that via message wall?
