Portugal, Spain, Ireland, Iceland, Greece, Hungary, Cyprus have already had or asked for external help, Italy and more will follow, meanwhile who's getting rich, who took benefice, and who's doing nothing to change the rules of this game?
is it every country's fault to need this kind of aid, or is there an economic and financial game with vicious rules and fixed results, that allows, exploits and rewards irresponsibility from politics and financial agents? how many more countries will have to enter this vicious cycle before people start to realize something's rotten from the root??
to just say that the countries are responsible for their situation, well, is much like saying the alcoholic is responsible for his health when someone keeps feeding him bottles; it's naive to portrait this economic situation in such simplistic ways as "you're broke, it's your fault'. not to exempt anyone from responsibilities, but frankly, at this point it's everyone's responsibility, as every country agreed in the present set of economic rules. and let's be honest, the few powerful countries are the ones that run the game and set the rules.
really, i recommend everyone 'inside job' from Charles Ferguson; it's honest, true, and above all, nails exactly the ones involved.
of course this has nothing to do with football; this requires a lot more in depth analysis and a great deal more conscience and information.
and by all means Merkel is no Helmut Kohl; he was an Europeist; the other is just a fat weasel worried about local elections.
now back to topic, i hope Italy beats Spain. and no, it's not political...
