You know it's really hard putting an entire nation in a box with a label. We're just like every other nation - one grand mixture of people with different personality's.

Yes, yes, I know, I'm not asking you to label everyone, or describe everyone, I was more looking for a summation of the general feeling, the atmosphere.

Yes, my grandmother used to say something like to me often. I never knew what it meant though....

I have been wondering this for some time but never got the courage to ask you, how much of a swede are you?

General feeling... I dunno, maybe easy-going. Not all hyped up about everything, something like that.

Right, okay, I think that I know what you mean. Like they don't take things too seriously and they know that there is always more important things than that petty thing you are absorbed with at the moment...

 

[Anders]

Yes... probably, but we are serious, we just don't make a big deal about everything.

Ok. We have/had this rule in Denmark (not like an actual law or anything) called "Janteloven" stating that you must not think you're better than anyone else, you can't brag and so on... But it's old and the danish don't really think like that anymore, but many think we do, cuz that's the impression we left our fellow europeans with.

When visiting other countries or greeting foreigners here, we are of course polite... and why not? It doesn't mean we're this bunch of hippies using socialism like a religion. It doesn't mean that we're the only ones who would get upset when treated like shit.

Many think of us as this little weird nation with only one way of life. But the truth is that we're multicultured and very different, and I think you would be surprised if you visited Denmark and stayed here for a while.

My Gosh. I'm wondering why this disscussion turned into this. Probably to make me sad enough to bang my head against the first wall I'll see. And you know why ? Because you're making me more and more want to get rid of my country, which, the poor one, is good as she is, but she is poor . And this is a fact that overcomes the whole hospitality whing we are so knowed for, and the whole respect each other and things. And when I'm hearing about a country which I love - Denmark in this case- that it's like I dreamed to be, it just makes me more sad, knowing that I'll never manage to go there.

Sorry for being so off-topic, I know I'm a shame, but these are the feelings I've got now. I don't think the attitude of a player is due to his belonging or nationality. It's just the way he thinks and was educated.

Dixit No excuse me, I'm back into the reality of my own country. Poor her. Facing Denmark tonight.

But, don't you think that those things are related?

 

[BloodOnMoral]

Could be. But a nationality can't dictate a man how to feel

 

[Ian]

I never said that it did.

How much of a swede am I? That's a really funny question actually. In many ways I'm a super-swede, I'm tall, blonde haired and blue eyed, and I have a penchant for stoicism. But, then again, I've not spent more than a couple of days in Sweden at one time since I was two, and I don't have citizenship there, and I don't speak Swedish well at all. So, I guess, to simplify it, I am three-quarters Swedish. Both grandparents on my mother's side were swedish and my grandmother on my father's side was also Swedish.

Wait, you've peaked my curiosity. It might surprise you, but Denmark is the only country in Europe that I've never visited, so if you could expound upon that statement, I'd be much obliged.

you peaked my curiousity as well. you ever been to lithuania?
