    Congratulations on a fine victory. I must admit that at first I presumed you were taking the piss, but pleasantly other papers corroborated. Onward to Berlin: I hope the silovitz runs in peaceful directions…

    whats this nonsense about “silovitz” and “peaceful directions” - for one thing Slovenians don’t drink “silovitz” and I don’t understand the comment “peaceful directions”. You must be talking about another country or had abit too much alcohol!

    Anyway, another great victory by Slovenia.

    Oh, dear what began as a pleasant aside about an historic football victory turns into another Balkan existential question of self-identity. Slovenes drink silovitz in Josef Roths’ novels so perhaps I mistakenly assumed that it was some sort of brandy. Regardless, sorry bout the mix up, but touchy bunch arent you?

    Your sloppiness is uncanny.

    1) There is no such thing as silovitz.
    2) Slivovitz is no more a Slovenian drink than a German one (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slivovitz)
    3) Slovenia isn’t part of the Balkans.

    Oh dear indeed! The only self-identity question concerns an individual who resides in blissful ignorance.

    I wonder where he comes from?
    My advice - get a life & get educated!

    Slovenia’s victory over the “pasta heads” was sheer brilliance.
