So forget the "Percentages" argument then, Britain has more fat people than Australia!
It probably does, but one very important question that you love avoiding - is there a championship where the top 11 complete against the other countries top 11?

or the question of how a roof cannot be closed if it's raining?
Ok, back to football now? Yes, our best 11 beat your best 11 too. Who has the better chance of having a better 11?
A retractable roof can be closed when its raining.

so if your best fat 11 can be our best fat 11 then you win and per capita is irrelevant.

Not according to the stadium manager it can't

The National Sports Centre, which owns the stadium, confirmed it would have violated the guarantee on the structure if attempts had been made to close the roof while wet. "It takes 15 minutes to close the roof but we cannot do it in temperatures below zero, in high wind, or while it is wet," said a spokeswoman.
who's right? the stadium spokesperson trying to save face ?or the guy who bulit the bloody thing ?
i would say the latter....

besides the point. Facts are facts, either the polish stadium manager is incompetent or the polish builder is incompetent. I'll leave the choice with you.

Which leads to the question, if it was FIFA's call why the need for the stadium manager to "save face"?

Polska Bomber - I have to say I was surprised to hear the Polish Federation left the roof open of that magnificent stadium when it rained all day on the originally-scheduled match-day Tuesday.

Then they closed the roof on the following day when the postponed match was played when the sun was beaming down from a bright blue sky.

Oh well, perhaps it was an omen of the dreadful game that petered out to a boring draw. No wonder the FIFA Task Force is looking at the points structure. Would 4 points for a win have motivated those boring coaches from settling for 1 point each from a draw?

When I see you next you can have it but the issue is getting it to you. You live in the west and it's not safe over there.

You seemed to be ok on your last visit. We dont even need to lock the doors where we live, although I do only because easties do visit occasionally. They were everywhere when we had our recent kerbside hard rubbish collection. Bang, all gone within minutes - literally!

He probably just worked there. A lot of people commute to the east for a better life in a better area and a better class of person.

Similar to all the poles going to England.

seeing as the polish reputation for lying is so well known now, I assume this means you are a nomadic or free-spirited person.
