Jill 0 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Never thought I'd find myself supporting the Germans, but I hate Portugal more and more each tournament. I dunno Ronaldo's acting is getting better and better. I think he'd actually be able to produce fake blood soon. There'll be blood all right but at this rate it'll be when he starts his period.

Meenzer 15437 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 (edited) I know it's been said by many already, but watching (and thoroughly enjoying) last night's game really brought it home for me. Isn't it great not having England at this competition? No half-time interviews with McClaren and "tactical discussions" by the MOTD couch during entirely unrelated matches, no reports from the training pitch or the team hotel, no tedious over-analysis of the last game or the next game, no constant injury updates, no forced references to England by commentators and their sidekicks (though they tried their best last night for some reason), no tabloid hissy fits, no WAGs... every international tournament should be like this! EDIT: Oh aye, and good football. Edited June 20, 2008 by Meenzer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Oh aye, and good football. I was thinking along these lines as well. No over-the-top reporting and bullshit. No heartache and panic attacks, just watch the football and enjoy. Sooooooooooo glad the Portuguese got knocked out Last night's game wasn't as good as the Torky/Czech game imo. (seeing Petr Chec (sp) drop that ball gave me a bigger hard on than trick ponie's face at the final whistle last night) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acrossthepond 874 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Best finish to any match I've ever seen. Glad the keeper redeemed himself. Didn't want to see either lose but if you put a gun to my head I would've gone with Turkey, great result for them. They'll get trampled by Germany but they've done it all the hard way in this tournament and I think they've got a lot to be proud of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 71 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Fuck me, where did that come from. 1-1! and Bilic is throwing a hissy fit I think it was cause the bloke was putting up a board for 1 min and the clock was already on 1.42+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant as he is (and he was quality), he hasn't been fit for the past two seasons so no great loss. 32 as well. But aye that has plenty to do with Modric doesn't it? I just think Modric hasn't really set the tournament alight the way he was talked up to. Forgot he was even on the pitch in that second half.

The Fish 10779 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 To be fair Brock he has been one of the better performers at this tournament. Whether that'll translate into Premiership performances is another conversation entirely, but you can't say he hasn't performed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disappeared in the second half and extra time. You guys can sign far better players than that for less money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeazesMag 0 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I really like the way Arshavin goes past people with his turn of pace and quick 2 feet. Holland started well but look like they may go out, the Russians deserve to be winning, and are improving, like the Germans, as usual. Can't believe Croatia lost to the fuckin Turks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30377 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 A referee sending a player off then changing his mind? Fair play to him, right decision in the end but unfortunately you wouldn't have seen anything like that in the PL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
