ok doesn't matter they had little influence in new york nothing is named after them anymore

Yes there is: Harlem is named after Haarlem, an ancient Dutch city, Broadway is just denglish for "Brede weg" as it was named by the Dutch back in the day etc.

Btw. denglish=Dutch-English if you didn't know.

Yes there is: Harlem is named after Haarlem, an ancient old city, Broadway is just denglish for "Brede weg" as it was named by the Dutch back in the day etc.

No wonder they have trouble in Spanish Harlem then. I believe thats why a "white rhino" got its name but from Dutch/Africaans for wide.

Yeah, whatever. Just trying to educate you, bro. It's a forum aimed at history after all. In the end, the Dutch deemed the US not worthy and sold their property there to the British.

I usually like watching the Spanish lose, but for some reason I would not mind if they scored another 5 goals against Slovakia. I'm not sure why though...

[Marcel]

That's because one team scored 5 goals and the other 0.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Ok Germany, lets do this!

 

[Marcel]

Ok Germany, lets do this!

I'm also rooting for Germany. Don't like Hungary at all.

 

[Marcel]

Hmmm, I jinxed that.

 

[Marcel]

That penalty for France was a joke

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Not good. Germany needs to come out better at the half.
