    Well, just thought I'd make sure it was 100% accurate.
    The first "patriot" is actually "native", but otherwise its all good! I wouldn't even know the first word of the Irish national anthem so way to go!

    And for any frenchies, its:

    Oh Canada
    Terre de nos aieux
    Ton front est ceint
    De fleurons glorieux

    Anyways, the UK is cool, unfortunately I've never been except one time I landed in London then took a bus to the chunnel to France. But ya, I agree that David Beckham rocks! And for football, I cheer for England since, as everyone knows, our Canadian team aren't quite as good as, lets say, our hockey team. Ranked 98th in the world! YES!!!!
    Look forward to meetin' y'all!

    For your interest and edification... The first four lines of "Amhrán na bhFiann" ("The Soldier's Song"), the Irish National Anthem are...

    Sinne Fianna Fáil
    A tá fé gheall ag Éirinn,
    buion dár slua
    Thar toinn do ráinig chugainn.

    which translates to...
    Soldiers are we
    whose lives are pledged to Ireland;
    Some have come
    from a land beyond the wave.

    Uninteresting fact... what we sing as the national anthem is actually just the chorus of a longer song. I've no idea how the rest of the song goes, actually...

    And if there are any out there who think that "Ireland's Call" was our national anthem... you need to watch less rugby :p

    I'm sure its fine, as someone posted before, everyone should post here. After all, it is Disney World and not Disney UK or Disney Canada! Germany is pretty cool, I was there for a couple of weeks a few years back. We were mainly in Potsdam and Berlin but we went to cool places like the Sans Souci palace and such. Good times.
    Ich bin ein berliner!!! (my social studies teacher told me that translates into "I am a jelly donut") :D

    No cheering for england! (unless you are english of course). I will be bringing my Swedish flag and my Paraguay hat :p

    Ana - We scots should be cheering for Trinidad and Tobago because it'll be the only chance we get to support Scotland in the world cup...and nobody will get that (they have a player called Jason Scotland...I'll just go now)

    What!!! You mean the whole "Shoulder to shoulder" bit is not your national anthem? But i love singing that bit, its about the only reason (after the players legs) that i actually watch Rugby :D

    I know how you feel, Scotland arent there either.

    But at the same time IF England win it then we'll never hear the end of it. It'll be like '66 all over again :( We've never heard the end of that one, they bring it up all the time especially at world cup time.

    I think I know what you mean. It'd be kinda like Americans who bring up "the miracle" for hockey whenever that was in the 70's or 80's...
    I like England coz of Beckham! Love actually is one of my favorite movies and I especially like the part where Hugh Grant says
    "We're the proud country of David Beckham's right foot, and David Beckham's left foot at that"
    or something along those lines...

    That'd be the 1980 miracle on ice (Disney made a movie about it... Miracle lol) it's actually a good movie and USA and Canada got different covers (ours has a lot less Americana on the cover).

    It'll be on TV for sure - US have got a pretty decent team these days....

    When I'm in England I support Scotland, if I was in Scotland I'd support England - not sure what that says about me :-\

    Sounds exactily like us Canadians with our Hockey.

    We chear for Canada and ANYONE playing the US (espeically the underdogs)

    http://www.tsn.ca/world_jrs/news_story/?ID=149259&hubname=

    I was in the crowd for these games and I want to say, that us as Canadians never booed anyone on the US until this incident. Then we booed one specific player. The media blew it way out of proportion, this website is fairly accurate. (note he was booed as mentioned on that page for every other game he played in the tournament)
