Orlando Munich

[SOUL]

What happened to this thread lol

This forum is on one lately

[Bensational]

Whilst I would’ve preferred Orlando to become the unofficial Australian Boomers NBA team, the world champion German national team is a good 2nd option.

I’m shocked WeHam/WePark have passed on the chance to add Bonga by now. Raw longboi with some connective passing capability, and also one of the rotation players for that squad.

Thinking about naming rights, combining the two collections, Germans and Michigan players, isn't this now the German Wolverines?

Just call us the ‘Germagichigans’

Well. If you call football soccer, I can call you however I want. And I would not call you american, as many of us were born in america too, outside the US.
Anyway...I wasn't calling you yankee, I was referring to the pedantic expression/attitude you had.

Not to go overboard on this: but a couple points.

1) A Yank it someone from the North East of America. Florida fought on the other side of the civil war and many (most) Floridians today would be insulted by being called a Yank. A Yank lumps New Yorkers with Floridians. That's a no-no.

2) You said: And I would not call you american, as many of us were born in america too, outside the US.
This is thoroughly incorrect grammatically. Americans are from the USA. Everyone else a citizen in the new world is either a "North American", a "Central American", or a "South American". Not "American". For example to this thread topic, that da Silva is Brazilian citizen does not mean that, grammatically, he can be called "an American." He is "South American" in that context.

Seeing as you're on full pedant duty today:

Outside of the US, ALL of you are called Yanks, North and South of the Mason-Dixon. In some countries, such as Spain, they use Yankee interchangeably with Yank, still always referring to anyone from USA, despite the historical fact of Yankees being only from the North.

Colloquially, American is more likely to refer to people from the USA. But factually, American can refer to.anyone in the American continent.

None of that has anything to do with grammar.

Indeed. Cheers bro
