European Champignonship soccer

[K8-90]

No comments on Turkey vs. Czech Republic? I figured SOMEONE would say something!

Haha! What an amazing upset! My family and I were really hoping France would "pull a Turkey" lmao against Italy... No such luck. I don't necessarily love France, but I really didn't like Italy's performance in the WC. Play-acting and diving (which is illegal, but rarely called) is the only part of soccer that I don't like...

It's been a somewhat strange Euro, with the big teams not doing so well... England didn't even qualify! And no more Zidan...

My Spaniards are doing quite well, considering I know little to nothing about soccer and based my choice off of practically nothing

Viva La Espagne! (did I say that right?)

"Viva España" would be the correct version.

Crap. I thought I'd be cool and not look it up in a translator. I guess I should have taken Spanish instead of French... Sacre bleu!

Hi Alex

I´m afraid I agree with la Foto...I don´t expect Germany to do it (and they don´t deserve it), and Portugal only fielded their "second" team in their last match. Tonight will be Germany´s last game this tournament...and Portugal will go on to the final against The Netherlands.

That said, I still hope the team can pull temselves together...they have great potential.

Well, but it simply does not matter what their chances are, I am German hence I will believe in them winning .... until they lose.

And as for my offer to bet .. I like risks

 

[Alex_B]

They are not doing so bad now... currently Germany-Portugal 2:0

 

[doenoe]

yeah, they are doing a good job this match......unlike the Portugese

 

[Alex_B]

If Germany wins I won a bottle of wine with someone

3:1 now

 

[doenoe]

was waiting for a 2-2 at the start of the second half, but now they are playing good game again.

And boy, they DID! :shock:

I would never have thought the team who offered such a poor game both against Croatia and Austria (the latter with one winning goal, though) would be able to show such a huge change in performance! Never.

I only saw the second half since earlier we were in Bremen, singing in Bremer Dom with my choir (singing against the arriving masses of football/soccer fans who wanted to watch the match on the huge screen in the square and whose noises easily came right through the massive church walls ), but hey, that looked good, too.

But the Portuguese also offered a good match!!! This time it was quite entertaining!
