Into day 3 and the voting is still open.

Up to now only 12 votes have been cast so if you have not selected your team yet remember voting will close on Wednesday after each team has played their first game.

Can't we a bit more liberal and democratic and change the voting system to proportional representation so we get a coalition of winners.

I love how the list is alphabetical except it has "Holland" where it should be "Netherlands".

From Wiki...

The Netherlands in its entirety is often referred to as "Holland", which in strict usage, refers only to North and South Holland, two of its provinces. Since these two provinces are the most populous and famous of the Netherlands, they often serve as a metonym for the entire country. Referring to the Netherlands as Holland is technically incorrect[16][17] or informal,[18] depending on the context, but is more acceptable when referring to the national football team.[19]

All very interesting but irrelevant to my comment that they've placed the word "Holland" in the alpha spot for "Netherlands"

I like Brazilians.

eye30 · **Reply #41: June 18, 2014, 17:29:56**

So why do we call the people who live there - dutch?

Why not hollanders or netherlanders?

You have just under 1 hour before the Poll closes to cast your vote or change it if you wish...

Wagner wrote an opera called in German "Der Fliegen Hollander", which is known in England as "The Flying Dutchman".

Maybe that helps ?? Though probably not.
