on Spain
The problem Spain has to deal with is what to do with all the illegal immigrants that are already there. Most are from Morocco or sub-Sahara Africa. They stand out and it is imposssible for them to get legal work. What do they do? Sell pirated DVD's and find casual temporary work where they can. Those that can turn to crime making a bad ...

Re: fussball, voetbal, football, fodbold, calcio,
I don't see the Hapsburg connection. What does feel nineteenth century to me is that there are certain states that seem to feel they have legitimate spheres of influence extending in Europe, Middle East, and Africa. France sees Chad as something of a client state. Russia clearly feels it should remain the dominant voice in Central Europe. The ...

About Ceuta and Melilla
There's something in my believe wrong in the article. When the author says that Ceuta and Melilla are Morocco's cities and occupied by Spain I just wonder, if the author realises that those cities and territories have belonged to Spain since the beginning of the XVI century, before even the USA was a country. How does it take for a territory to be ...
