I agree that in sense Sune "started" it with a semi-serious joke, but the fact
that you (and only you?) responded so strongly seems to imply to me anyway you
are a little predisposed to think in such terms.

europeans of trying to sabtotage the tournament, which to me doesnt appear that
way at all.

for that matter. The US versus Them mentality.
