    That and it was clearly a tongue in cheek comment, though I should have probably known better with the perpetual pissing contest that goes on here.

        The best team won, which is all I hoped for. Shame it wasn't more prolific but at least it ended without the artificialness of penalties.
        Gassing million of innocent people is "Good at war" in your eyes? Also invading Russia when your already committed to fighting on the western front is not a great move either.

          Using the holocaust to try and score points on an internet forum seems in poor taste even by your low trolling standards.

            Quite, d00000000000000000gh. Not relevant to the good/bad at war argument.

            Dunno why people are going on about WW2 anyway, it was 70 years ago. Our current conflict/tension is with the stinky Argies. Well done Germany!

              How am I "using" the holocaust? It happened during WWII as part of the war.

                I deny the holocaust was part of WW2, it merely happened at the same time under the same person's rule. Surely the war was foreign policy and the holocaust domestic policy.


                And please don't make the obvious misquote
