edna Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 And of course, I hope Argentina wins, viste, ché?
Levis Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 Hmmm, Edna's rooting for Argentina, and Farin's for Germany... Go Ukraine!!!
Steel2Velvet Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 Much congratulations to Germany!! That was a very well played match against a very tough opponent. The German goalie will sleep well tonight. Outstanding work!!
Farin Posted June 30, 2006 Author Report Posted June 30, 2006 Deutschland!!! Deutschland!!! Deutschland!!! '54, '74, '90, 2006 Ja so stimmen wir alle ein, mit dem Herz in der Hand und der Leidenschaft im Bein, werden wir WELTMEISTER sein Beim ersten mal wars ein Wunder, beim zweiten mal wars Glück, beim dritten mal der verdiente Lohn und diesmal wirds ne Sensation... okay enough singing... as you can tell, I'm rather happy right now Germany won 5:3 after Penalty Shooting with Jens Lehmann, our goalie, who held two (2) Penalties!!!
edna Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 Congrats, Farin!!! Though you were just lucky... Maradona no es una persona cualquiera, es un hombre pegado a una pelota de cuero, tiene el don celestial de tratar muy bien al balón, es un guerrero..."
Farin Posted June 30, 2006 Author Report Posted June 30, 2006 Sometimes luck is all you need (espacially in penaltys), but we also played very good, imo I don't know what you said about Maradona, but did you notice, that this was the first time he wasn't in the stadium when Argentina played??? I wonder why
The Seeker Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 Great game, lots of suspense right up to the last minute.... Schade argentinien, alles ist vorbei, alles ist vorbei, alles ist vorbei
edna Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 It´s true... I didn´t see nor hear him at all... Anyways, Maradona is just good for soccer... I posted some lines of a song called "Maradona" that I like a lot, by Andres Calamaro, a very good Argentinian rocker. I cannot translate it now but it says that Maradona is not a normal person, it´s man stuck to a leather ball, he´s a warrior, etc... Congrats again, my German friend und gutte nacht!!! (or happy celebration... )
DiggsUK Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 Congrats to the German team! Looks like it will be Germany in the final, which is excellent for the competition and if we get through, potentially good for us also, as we play the same style of football.
phil Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 Farin, you are disrespecting my Italian team. I think they will beat Germany even with their overwhelming home field advantage.
TheLizard Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 I agree with Phil. Italy looks like the toughest team to beat to me, and I don't see Germany pulling it off.
Farin Posted July 1, 2006 Author Report Posted July 1, 2006 But you have to keep in mindthe morale, which is very important in close matches. Germany just won a very hard match. Now we have the feeling, that they can and will beat anyone. Italy had a relativly easy opponent with the Ukraine, you can believe me, that they won't play the same against Germany. Then there is the gigantic scandal in Italy (have you heard of it?) it is a certain possibility that more than half of the players could loose their jobs. The match is in Dortmund, which is the stadium where the german fanbase was invented (remember the game against Poland). And Germany never lost in that stadium before. Is it going to get tough? Of course it is! It's the Semi finals in the World Cup. There aren't any easy games anymore. But I'm convinced that our team have the ability to beat Italy and will do asnything necessary to acchieve their goal.
Levis Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 Congratulations, Farin... that was a good match. Argentina let its guard down after its first goal. I'm going to be a wet blanket and say right out that I miss the Argentinians!! And I did notice Maradona wasn't in the stands.
edna Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 I would go to my brother´s place to watch France-Brazil but I don´t want to suffer again... Anyways, I still would go with Brazil and Italy, but ALLEZ, FRANCE!!
Farin Posted July 1, 2006 Author Report Posted July 1, 2006 I fully agree with you, edna!! Allez les Bleus!!! I'm sorry for all England fans... they lost in the Penalty shooting against Portugal...
KeinHausaufgaben Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 i'm really sad england lost. they just played like a montage of footage on tv, and the soundtrack was johnny cash's "hurt". i nearly cried.
Steel2Velvet Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 Congratulations to France, who just beat a totally uninspired Brazilian squad that jogged around in "warm-up" mode until the final 3 minutes of the game, when they seemed to realize they were playing an actual game that counted. It will be fun to watch how this all works out since Italy is no longer in the mix. Hope your team wins. Neither of mine did, but at least I was emotionally involved in THIS World Cup and feel I have a new sport to add to my collection of those I follow.
Farin Posted July 1, 2006 Author Report Posted July 1, 2006 Congrats to France and Portugal! Look like the Cup will stay in Mainland Europe... It will be fun to watch how this all works out since Italy is no longer in the mix I'll suggest you look at the past results once again. Italy will play against Germany in hte semi-finals on tuesday...
Steel2Velvet Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 Foi mal, I meant England, but typed Italy. My wife had originally predicted England-Brazil for a finals match.
TheLizard Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 Good thing for you, your wife isn't a gambler. Or at least, I assume she isn't, as you seem to be in good spirits.
Steel2Velvet Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 Good thing for you, your wife isn't a gambler. Or at least, I assume she isn't, as you seem to be in good spirits. Yes, I am and might be the only person in Brazil feeling that way, right now.
