  Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Latin Europe   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Latin Europe (Italian/Portuguese/Spanish: Europa latina; Romanian: Europa latină; French: Europe latine) is composed of those nations and areas in Europe that speak a Romance language and are seen as having a distinct culture from the Germanic and Slavic parts of Europe.
Latin America is an equivalent term to refer to countries in the Americas with a Romance language.
The Romance languages, often known as Neo-Latin languages (Latin neo means new) by the Latin Europeans are the languages descendants from the spoken varieties of Latin in the Latin areas of the Roman Empire.

Every four years, a ranking would be determined for the countries based on their sides' performances in the Latin Cup.

 Bar-On: Ambiguities of Football
Latin American football's effects upon notions of nationalism and gender are largely based on the exclusively male nature of professional football teams and ownership.
Furthermore, the Latin American legacies of colonialism and dependence, the historical weakness of 'civil society' in the region, and the general failure of elites to respond to popular aspirations represent formidable barriers to political democratization and societal transformation (Valenzuela and Valenzuela, 1978: pp.
Nonetheless, the recent fall of some Latin American military regimes and the proliferation of liberal democratic-style elections does not entail the abandonment of internal and external modes of oppression and domination.

 Alfredo Di Stéfano - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He is most associated with Real Madrid, and with Ferenc Puskás was instrumental in their domination of the European Cup during the 1950s, a period in which the club won the trophy in five consecutive seasons from 1956.
With 49 goals in 58 matches, Di Stéfano was for decades the leading scorer in European club football, his record only being surpassed by Madrid's Raúl González in 2005, and AC Milan's Andriy Shevchenko in 2006.
Perhaps the highlight of his time with the club was their 7-3 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in the 1960 European Cup Final at Hampden Park, a game many consider to be the finest exhibition of club football witnessed in Europe.

 German_language
Most German vocabulary is derived from the Germanic branch of the Indo-European language family, although there are significant minorities of words derived from Latin, French, and most recently English (which is known as Germish).
Until the early 20th century, German was mostly printed in flletter typefaces (mostly in Fraktur, but also in Schwabacher) and written in corresponding handwriting (for example Kurrent and Sütterlin).
These variants of the Latin alphabet are very different from the serif or sans serif antiqua typefaces used today, and are difficult for the untrained to read.
