A couple of problems: A large chunk of us do not live
in Europe and do not use this Euro funny money.
Secondly, the cost of a wire transfer to Europe would
make this entire initiative uneconomical. Thirdly,
perhaps there are many of us who do not care about the
performances of either England or Portugal.

Frank,
FORMER colonial powers. Or used to be's.

And, IMHO, anyone using the above heading for an email
is in dire need of a mustard enema.

BTW, the head of Portugual came over to Canada and
beged former Portuguese citizens to invest in
Portugual. The head of England comes over to Canada
every year or so to collect the "donations" for her
family.

As I predicted, the best team won.

I never doubted it. Not even for a minute.
Good you saved your money Gabe!

Even according to the British commentators (BBC), the best team was
throughout the game was Portugal. The English players were completely
exhausted in the extra time.

It was a shame it had to be resolved over penalties but even then, it
was a fair result.

Viva Portugal, now in the Semi Finals of Euro 2004.

The English can now sing again their famous song: "Football is coming
home"
