England out on penalties again... I would say more but I am heartbroken, Sewer Bull understands. I loathe Christiano Ronaldo.

*Dr. Doom* · 07-01-2006, 03:25 PM

I saw a little kid at the Library yesterday wearing a Ronaldo jersey.

Dinny · 07-01-2006, 03:38 PM

Probably Brazil's Ronaldo.

On the subject of Brazilians, what's your Brazilian name?

I know what you're feeling, dude. That terribly sucks. I really thought England were going to reach the semi-finals. I almost bet my money on them. I prefered England-France semi-final. Now that would be something, regarding the mutual relations between those countries throughout history and now.

The yesterday's matches were rather strange. The red card for Rooney might have been deciding for England not scoring anything in that match. Brazil showed all their mediocrity against France. They weren't awesome at all during the whole tournament and I'm glad they're out, even though I don't really support France.

Germany vs. Italy. France vs. Portugal. Wow. Europe has totally dominated the semi-finals, no South American team in this stage. The last time the similar thing happened was 24 years ago, in Spain... In the 1982 semi-final stage, the following teams played: Italy, Germany, France and... Poland. Yeah. And if only we managed to defeat Ecuador and then England and Portugal, the semi-final squad could have been the same. Damn irony.

Woe are us.

My types for the final stage: 1) Germany 2) France 3) Portugal 4) Italy.

The French Wizard Zidane strikes again.
No one could stop him or France yesterday.
Im glad Brazil and England is out.
All the socalled special fotball critics had listed Brazil and England as the two countries that would play best and go easy to the semi-final.
So long i can remember, the all time favourites always flop.
Laughed at in 2002, France is back. Nice attractive fotball, brilliant defense and they made alot of good chances against a weak and almost outplayed Brazil. They were never near as good as the expectations and their samba fotball. Not surprising, as they where run over by a much more willing and attacking team.

Now, i hope France whipe away the whining divas from portugal, and Germany knocks out Italy.

**Barkworm** · 07-02-2006, 11:44 AM

I'm back from my 3-day trip to Berlin. I guess it's needless to say that I can't say anything neutral or objective about the match. My vocal chords are completely ruined and I hugged a horde of human beings of my own sex whom I've never seen before. Man. That was the kind of experience you tell your grandchildren about. I still can't believe that I was there.
Don't cry too hard, Argentina.

EDIT: Italy - Ukraine: Boring. Nothing else to say.
England - Portugal: The first time ever I supported England. They fought bravely but shootout just aren't England's cup of tea. Plus Robinson sucks. Anyway, to hell with Portugal.
Brazil- France: Brazil finally got the bill for their arrogance and Zidane made Ronaldinho look like a complete n00b. Awesome.

*JameO* · 07-02-2006, 08:06 PM

Germany vs France is my prediction, Germany world cup champs this time, and my Brazil name is Jameerto, pretty freakin' wild if you ask me!

07-02-2006, 08:32 PM

I personally see it as Italy vs Portugal in the final tournament.

Dinny · 07-03-2006, 06:25 PM

I have never said this before but I really want Germany to win. I'm fairly sure that they will beat the Azzuri. France will almost certainly beat Portugal, especially if the referee doesn't fall for Portugal's dramatisms. Keep diving in the pools.

Germany's run is proof to me that a home crowd is as important today as it was 20 years ago. They can really help a team to perform and can get inside the opponent'e heads.

*JameO* · 07-04-2006, 04:31 PM

Germany is out, what a shame, good game played though, two really nice goals by Italy, Italy vs France final, should be good, im going France all the way now.

*Sewer Bull* · 07-04-2006, 04:42 PM

Wow... what a knockout in the final two minutes. But I saw that coming. This match was really nice to watch but nevertheless, Italy had more chances to score, including one post and one crossbar in the beginning of the extra-time.

Kid A · 07-04-2006, 10:56 PM

Today's morning I went to a gas station and saw old "Bild" newspapers lying out. The headline was "Today we're gonna slap their Italian noodles". Hahaha! Seems as we got slapped pretty much.
Now the world is guest at loosers'.

*Anarky* · 07-05-2006, 12:19 AM

Hopefully German media will now shut up about them being so surpreme and better than anyone else by default and blah... Well, they have to, actually.

**Barkworm** · 07-05-2006, 12:28 AM

Oh, f*ck it...

The new headline is "You are heroes anyway." Oh well..

*Sewer Bull* · 07-05-2006, 01:19 PM

Speaking of soccer violence...

Some of those cuts are rather "ouch", yet some of them are just plain hilarious. I especially like the second scene with Maradona.

Dinny · 07-05-2006, 01:25 PM

Kid A, since when do Italians eat noodles?

I'm sad to see Germany out, but my Meditteranean blood is somewhat satisfied to see Italy through. Now France need to spank Portugal, and then in the 3rd - 4th play-off Germany can spank them even harder.

*Sewer Bull* · 07-05-2006, 04:56 PM

And once again, the day is saved, thanks to... The Powerpuff Zidane!

Damn, Portugal were incredibly weak tonight. Incredibly frigging weak. The hard encounters against the Netherlands and England certainly didn't pay off. Oh well. Now they are going to lose against Germany in the match that no one in the world really gives a **** about, safe for the interested nations of course. Oh well. I bet my money on Germany. They are going to win that bronze medal. After the penalty shoot-outs.

Italy - France. Mmm... Damn, I feel stupid now. I didn't really count on them. France was mediocre for the past four years and I was pretty sure Italy were going to be eliminated by the Czechs, Ghana or the USA - as "the favourite who didn't even make it through the group stage" (like France or Argentina in 2002... or Poland). It seems I know next to nothing about football. But the whole "revenge for the Euro 2000 final" context looks pretty tasty to me. Italy have a wonderful defence line, they did not lose a goal, except for that own goal against the US. By contrast, France have Zidane, the eighth world wonder. Something tells me this sucker will score the winning goal in the final. Damn him and his eternal awesomeness.
