Hi there


never again
Respect Diversity – Football Unites campaign at Euro 2012  
  • We all have good memories of the Soccer World Cup 2010, here in SA and it was interesting to read that Euro 2012 has helped the Poles in much the same way - showing the rest of the world that they "speak English well", and that they have "comfortable public transport, great food, and beautiful girls" and that the predictions of violence, racism and general disaster were unfounded, putting to rest "a number of national inferiority complexes and breaking some stereotypes".

  •  Interesting statistic: this year's Olympics 2012, starting on Friday 27 July in London will be hosting "10,500 athletes from 205 countries who will compete in 302 medal events at 34 venues.  They will use 1,8 million pieces of  sporting equipment, including 8,400 shuttlecocks." The Daily Telegraph.  You don't say!
cheers
