[thomas]

Brazil is the best? that's why France beat you? ;D ???

[tutuco21]

so wath france win 1 time

no one wins more world cups than brasil!!

the green yellow shirt is the best!!!

and just to mention : we have a big tradicion in altomobilism : i know mike shumacher is the best but we had Senna and there are many brasilian pilots Cristiano da mata, Felipe massa , Rubens

and many more outside F1

[Mahdi]

Our great drivers always die.

[thomas]

yeah one of our best driver's has died recently aswell  :'( :(

[tutuco21]

I watch on TV wen Ayrton Senna died

Very sad :(

This guy is like a legend im my country

Even Today people cry his death

I think F1 is the greathest sport in the world

I love races

but the risks are many

All countrys have storys about great pilots that die on the job

[thomas]

so true so true.

Filo just make sure I'm correct (last time I was there was in 96) is a bottle of coke still $7?

[Caid Ivik]

Here you can buy a 2l coke for about 35 Sk, while 1$=32 Sk.

[Filo]

In spite of my frenchness, I agree Tutuco21 for soccer, for F1 as well, and specially for USA things (didn't dare).

Scytale, dunno where you found coke for 7 $ (or euro), maybe in Paris on Champs Elys

[Caid Ivik]

So, 1 euro is 40 Sk here, so I would say it is much more...

[Filo]

You're cavilling, Ca

[Dude_Doc]

Hmm I'll do Italy next:

+ Great sport's cars

+ Great suit's

+ awesome women

  + Monica Belluci

+ Historical sites

  +Vatican

+ Great food&wine

Umm, I was in Italy not so long ago... I think the "awesome women" part can be discussed, they weren't really my taste. Though, you are right about Belluci, Vatican and the food there.

What's more, some negative stuff too:

-Once you go against a native, he will automatically "summon" the people around him (happened to my mother's friend).

-The Church destroyed many temples and all those things, this can also be discussed about, but still ... ;)

-Mafioso,... we wasted around
