Spain not just deserves it, I never seen a match so well executed. Hey, I took 44 years to get it again.
I am happy for them. Many people will be missed at work today :-)

Congrats to Spain! But the people in your embassy must be very boring—when the Italians win big trophies their embassy staffers get drunk and drive around the neighborhood honking and shouting for hours!

Spain deserves it. They played the most beautiful football. They were great throughout the whole tournament. I had a hard time deciding whom to support.
I may be born in Germany, but I’m made in Spain ;-)

Hehe… I always heard, alle dürfen mitspielen, aber am Ende gewinnen die Deutschen.

Everyone is allowed to play, but the Germans win at the end.

“Football is a simple game; 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans win.”

Edit:
“Football is a complicated game; 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans win.” - on European championships :-)

The Germans are the bogeyman of the pitch.

Predicting Germany to be one

Jan — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 00:44:05 -0700

Predicting Germany to be one of the finalists was easy. I just remembered what English football legend Gary Linneker once said:

“Football is a simple game; 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans win.”
– Gary Lineker –

But – it’s gonna be a tough one against Spain, for sure.

” So, at least my bet that Germany would make it to the final was correct. “
Indeed sire, you know you game. By the way, sorry that the Orange didn’t
make it ;-)

Yes, I sincerely didn’t know what to think; the turkish players didn’t want to
give it up. They were down few key player with injuries.
Germany played well, not playing well. As is characteristic of the germans, they controlled somewhat the game and not taking risks. Again, as expected.

That soccer, footbal, fussball, fútbol &c. is a game of violentia I totally desagree.
It in the end creates a atmosphere that embraces everyone envolved —but that goes for international competitions only, where the players make little money and without clubes pulling the strings.

I will go on and come back up with a nice ending report of the final.

Cheers!

I am proud to announce that in my quarter of Munich the relations between the Turkish and the German communities must be excellent. So - contrary to my worst nightmare - both teams were regarded as “ours”, and after the game Germans comforted their Turkish neighbours, whereas the Turkish fans rejoiced: “We made the finals.”

Jan — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 04:55:59 -0700

The gods were with us this time.
So, at least my bet that Germany would make it to the final was correct.

After a interval since the last big one, here goes a calling for your bets.
I have found DW-World which has news in many languages. I tried to pull another nice cover but I was unable to get one. If you do know where to find one, feel free to place it here.

As if we all know already who is going to move to the final, it still is uncertain: You never know what is going to happen. Sometimes things just happen by chance, and this game is full of it. if you are german I know exactly where your cheering is going, but, again, I would say that this is up to the gods.

Enjoy and don’t forget the BIG mug of beer

KICKOFF

Century Gothic

Now is for real. No more ’friendlies’ where points are not at stake and may bore the audience. What do you think or bet will survive and get to the finals?

Feel free to add your bet or hopes. Just add a related or unrelated font if you will.
As I write this it is 4 hours and 12 minutes to the kick off...
