    Yes, lost pictures for a while. Lucky, lucky Germans! They'll never play so badly again and win.


    Don't be so harsh, 2002 played Germany even worse and almost won the world cup. biggrin

    Yesterday people here in Greece celebrated Turkey's loss as it was ours, people were screaming in the streets and balconies!

    Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad Greeks! wink

    To be honest, the Dutch were pretty relieved as well, but that had mainly to do with the fact that Turkish celebrations take the form of Turks en masse taking to the streets in their cars, driving up and down urban areas at breakneck speed incessantly blaring their horns until the wee hours of the morning.

    In fact, a new word was invented just these couple of days ago: "Toeterturken" ("Honking Turks").

    Personally I didn't mind much, though. In fact, I think it's kinda nice to see a people being SO deliriously happy... but I CAN understand some annoyance in the more integrated urban areas where you really weren't able to get to sleep before 2 AM, and there were some incidents reported where Turks nearly ran down pedestrians in their blind jubilation, which of course is completely inexcusable.

    Since England didn't even make it into the games this year, aside from on the news I've heard NOTHING about how it's going. I just heard the words ''semi-final'' yesterday and realised it was obviously almost over.

    They did and this was in no small part down to Fabregas, who only came on because Villa got injured. I hope for their sake he keeps his place for the Final because he was the best player on the pitch.

    My natural instinct is to support whoever is playing against Germany, but since I picked them as winners in our Prediction Competition at work, I have a financial interest in them winning! It's been a unique experience, cheering on Germany victories, for me.

  13. Congratulations to Spain and its followers/supporters.

    The Spanish have been the better team without any doubt. There was a time in the second half when I thought we could come back into the game, but it wasn´t to be... That referee was a pain in the ass, but we played by far too bad, anyway.

    Congrats to Spain.

    Game was one of the worst i've seen in such an event as Euro though. Nerveless, boring, slow. Germany was virtually not there and Spain lost so many shots at goal, still i am glad they won 'cause Germany played no football at any case.

    The match was broadcasted at about 12:00 AM here and I wasn't able to watch it... but I'll catch the highlights today evening. wink
  16. Well, we tend to win our matches by sheer force and sudden bursts of action. It´s rare to see real skill at work in the German team, but they are hard to deal with if they are in top form. This time, they were not. Most of their games sucked, and it´s a wonder how they always come so far. I absolutely agree that the better team won the cup, but it´s hard to get beaten again and again so close before the final win.
