1. Have you ever seen your country, or your favorite player play live?
2. Where do you live, and how have you learned English if you are not from the USA
3. Would it be a good idea to have Country/Nation threads, like the team threads that exist here (for example a Brasil CFB thread)?
4. Is this a stupid topic?

1. Yea
2. Montreal. English is my third language and I learned it here in Montreal.
3. It would be more clean, but then again searching in a thread between a couple of pages would be annoying. There are not many National team news, and if there are, then it would be during a cup like Euro 2004 ; we have an official E04 thread.
4. The topic is alright. This question is stupid ;)

2. Im from Malaysia, used to live in the US.

4. Naw.

1) I have see my country play Arsenal a very, very long time ago.
2) I live in Malaysia. English is my primary language probably because my parents speak it and because I attend a private school.
3) It would be alright, I guess. Would make the forums look a lot neater.

:rockman:

I think I'm in section 108 or 109. Seat 30 something. I don't have the ticket in front of me. Somewhere around there.

Last year I saw ManU vs Juventus from the top row, so this years seats are way better.
