As the World Cup activities continue it seems that Europeans are rediscovering America and it’s citizens based on what they are experiencing and not what they’ve been told by the Media and their governments. At the same time many Americans are rediscovering the people of Europe person-to-person, not just individual countries. Hopefully as the tournament continues the ripples of understanding will continue to grow. It seems that all of us, Europeans and Americans alike, have been manipulated by the Media for years and I hope and pray that that is about to dramatically change. Todays post is a ten question quiz concerning matters of this World and as always the answers will be listed below. Have fun with it.
