teutonic identity & conflict resolution

an old german friend, not known even for a wisp of xenophobia, recently remarked: 

f*#king austrians, their singular achievement has been to convince the world that hitler was german and mozart was austrian.

an austrian-german euro 2008 football final would have settled the issue, once and for all. india, after all, continues to extract revenge on the english for colonial subjugation by sustained mastery over them on the cricket pitch. (but then, the english seem to be absolutely rubbish at anything they ever invented). the chinese have comprehensively proven to the world that they’ll take on all challengers, in any sport. cuba, every now and then, gets one over the USA in baseball.

USA v afghanistan in buzkashi?
