Farin Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farin Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Farin, the Germans allowed Mario Batali, a chef, to score the winning goal? Did I hear that right? Wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share 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.

TheLizard Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLizard Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share 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 Share 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". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
