Farin Posted June 22, 2012 Report Posted June 22, 2012 Germany just won their 15th official match in a row (4:2 against Greece), which I learned today is a world record Also: fourth semi-final reached in the last four tournaments! next up against England or Italy...
phil Posted June 25, 2012 Report Posted June 25, 2012 To my good friend, Martin. Arrivederci, Deutschland!
Farin Posted June 25, 2012 Report Posted June 25, 2012 To my good friend, Martin. Arrivederci, Deutschland! Admittedly our history against Italy in World and European Cups isn't the best and you DID win the 2006 semi-final on our own turf... but then again our team is better than it was then - and Italy's gonna have to shoot more goals then yesterday to beat us (also Germany hasn't lost a penalty shoot-out since 1976) I'm confident
phil Posted June 25, 2012 Report Posted June 25, 2012 The Italians totally out classed England, AND still almost lost. They have to finish their scoring chances against a much better German squad. I am confident, too. Good Luck, Martin.
phil Posted June 29, 2012 Report Posted June 29, 2012 Congratulations Italia! Great match. Now You have to keep it up against Spain.
Farin Posted June 29, 2012 Report Posted June 29, 2012 I think there must be some hidden rule in FIFA and UEFA regulations stating that Germany HAS to lose against Italy in a tournament Congrats Italy, GL against Spain!
Uncle Joe Posted June 30, 2012 Report Posted June 30, 2012 Farin, the Germans allowed Mario Batali, a chef, to score the winning goal? Did I hear that right? Wow!
Farin Posted July 1, 2012 Report Posted July 1, 2012 that guy, yeah... would be interesting to know what's his favourite food to cook
phil Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 I have to congratulate Spain. They are a great team. Italy had a great tourney run. They played hard, just came one game short.
Farin Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 Two records were broken yesterday: Spain is the first team to win three big titles in a row (Euro 2008, World Championships 2010, Euro 2012) AND they're the first who were able to defend their European title.
bluesboy Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 The Penn State coverup IS JUST DISGUSTING!!!
Uncle Joe Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 Yep! Remember when Paterno was fired he said, "I should have done more"? Seems he should have done less. Ugly!
TheLizard Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 Makes me sick. People can hate Notre Dame all they want, but this would never happen there.
Rayzor Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 I respected Paterno. Thought he was a stand up guy. Seems he's just a snake who worked for a college full of snakes
RockyRaccoon Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 Makes me sick. People can hate Notre Dame all they want, but this would never happen there. Yea. The Catholics would never molest children.
TheLizard Posted July 14, 2012 Report Posted July 14, 2012 Not cool. Please don't equivocate my school with the entirety of the Catholic Church. I am not Catholic, I loathe the papacy, but I still love Notre Dame.
RockyRaccoon Posted July 14, 2012 Report Posted July 14, 2012 Not cool. Please don't equivocate my school with the entirety of the Catholic Church. I am not Catholic, I loathe the papacy, but I still love Notre Dame. I know. I'm just joking
Rayzor Posted July 14, 2012 Report Posted July 14, 2012 What people hate ND? From up here (Canada) they appear to be "America's team"...
TheLizard Posted July 14, 2012 Report Posted July 14, 2012 We have fans everywhere. And we're the rare team that has a multitude of die hard fans that aren't students/alum (probably because of the Catholic thing), which is why we have the NBC deal. But because of the overblown passions of our fanbase, or our television deal, or the fact that we've sucked for 20 years, or the fact that we're a Catholic school, etc., those who don't love us tend to hate us.
Rayzor Posted July 14, 2012 Report Posted July 14, 2012 We have the same thing with several pro sports teams here. The Montreal Canadiens & Toronto Maple Leafs (both of which suck terribly in the NHL) and the Saskatchewan Rough Riders (again a sucky bunch in our pro football league, but a crazy fan base) but with our college hockey, football, etc we aren't quite like in the US. We tend to root for the "home team".
