OT: euro 2012 tournament thread

Good game.
Dutch had their chances but couldn't finish.
Danes played well and hats off to them. They didn't park the bus in front of net after they had the lead.

It's not like the Dutch didn't have their chances. They had great chances, just didn't convert. They could have easily won 2-1 or 3-1 today.

I tried learning German... Was off to a good start, but that was so long ago, and never used it regularly so I literally forgot everything.

I hope Teiger shows up... he let me down big time in the Champions League Final.

Being of Portuguese decent, I'm rooting for them....but in reality I don't think they can get out of the group.

LET'S GO PORTUGAL!

I just don't have the right brain for it honestly...you have to think of it as a language, and not translate it in your head as you go. Which is the only have I can do it. My friend is over there for a few months now...her second time too. She loves Germany more than the US I'm pretty sure...

lol, I probably would to.

But, yes, you can't learn a language translating it to English, never works.

I think I found your problem!

Haha. I absolutely suck at foreign languages, myself. Have no propensity for it.

Does anyone else find ESPN's Euro-studio design really ridiculous? A cobblestone walkway... inside... against a glass wall.... at a 30-degree angle.

Yeah, that makes sense and looks real.

lol, I hate their commentary for soccer.

I love Ballack as a player. He is a horrible analyst.

 

[dash]

Bastian Schweinsteiger and Thomas Muller will lead the Germans to victory today...

I said it before he seems like he would be a seriously cool son of a bitch to have a drink with.

Gomez!!!

 

[SLY]

Fuckin' right. Germany fans left and right now.

 

[puckhead]

No chance that was a handball. Good non-call by the refs.

Dutch got fucked on that call, plain and simple.

 

[pixburgher66]

CHillllllllls with the anthem. Russia and Germany are my two favorite anthems.

 

[SLY]

Oh fuck yes... been so eager for this game.

 

[SLY]

Defense not looking so hot.

 

[ritari330]

C'mon, don't throw stuff at anyone ....

classy fans
