I don't have ties to either country, but I just like Holland better. (Don't take that the wrong way, I just like Holland better as a country because it's more politically left. Which in the end doesn't have anything to do with the World Cup, but what the hell, I feel too obliged to root for someone. :p)

Yeah, me too. Except I normally can't understand Dutch anyway :p

But seriously, Dutch is somewhat similar to German, so I can kind of understand it sometimes. But then other times I can't puzzle it out even with the rest of the commercial to help me. I would wonder if Dutch speakers can mostly understand German, but I hear most of them know four languages anyway :/

Well I'm Dutch and suck at German, but it's still very alike. English Dutch and German are all three pretty alike.

Inorite? :disgust: Can Spain fans just congratulate the country and not be assholes?

Indeed. First time in my life I ever saw sore winners.

Nope. Sorry.

Holland is no country :p

But I too love the leftness of my country ^^ Here the opposide of Liberal is Socialist. Liberals are the right (as in non-left) people here xD

Really? I've tried to read some things from my German friend but I've never seen any connection. French is very close to English too though, I can see that a whole lot better.

I only speak English fluently. :(

. . .

But I know more Japanese than Spanish, and I'm half-Puerto Rican.

I know more French then any other language other than English. I should be taking Japanese hopefully sometime during sophomore year since I wanna try majoring in a foreign language. As easy as French is options are not plentiful with that language and with Japanese I can do quite a lot. Lets hope that other languages really are my hidden talent. ^-^

English German and Dutch are all German languages. Italian French and Spanish are all Roman languages. French and English only share some words because of the war they had for quite a time, but the grammar is pretty different.

Just look:

I have
Ich habe
Ik heb

J'ai

Ah I see.
I do wish I took french back as a sophomore in High school because then I would've gotten three years instead of two and I would probably be able to understand people speaking it better. Reading a language is easy, hearing it is hard. :(

Speaking of hearing languages, is it possible to be so used to hearing a language that you don't hear an accent anymore?

I had the choice between German and French. I took German. (Actually I had the choice between Acient Greek and Latin, chose the latter, but I decided I'd pick one of the others too as a back-up).

Would I get banned for telling Kasumi, an administrator, that one of her posts in the World Cup thread is close to flaming?

Nope. You can report it and the moderators will look into it. Of course there is small chance that anything will happen, as the only one with a higher rank than her is her husband, but you can never get infracted for a report (unless the report is unserious).

You saw the comment in her blog, right? She's getting this attitude of "Spain is the best, end of story, and Holland supporters suck." And I can't just say it to her face because she'll just accuse me of being a sore loser. :disgust:

Well, I would report it, but make sure you say why.

Also. Finished with the questions in my blog.
