[quote="Nazis in Space";p="9644421"]you just randomly use me as a target to bitch at Germans. Or German football. Or something vaguely related to Germany.[quote]
Irony.

In other news, Germany haven't won anything in 16 years, and haven't had significant success in that time either.

I know we haven't got much hope, but come on you Danes!

Yeah I mean what kind of shit team only gets to the finals of the Euro? Plus they only got to the semi-finals of the World Cup before that, they should probably just stop trying to qualify in the first place if they're going to make that shitty a showing. What a goddamn embarrassment to their country and to football in general. But please, whatever you do, don't get me started on the shit storm that was the last world cup. :rofl:

God forbid them only beating other teams by three goals. :palm:

God forbid.

Ya'know, the sad part is that I was defending the English team. What with having 11 injured players (A significant number staying at home, of course), and historically simply being average-ish, which, for some reason, causes their supposed fans to belittle and practically insult the team at every opportunity. As opposed to supporting the players who are still available and hoping for the best. Recognising that they're the single-most hit team in terms of injuries, but trying, and supporting the same, anyway.

Lord knows, apart from Rooney, it's one of the more likable teams at the EC (I did put them in the semifinal in my 'Wishful Thinking' list, after all). A pity the same can't be said for the trash called 'England Fans'.

The suggestion that this is pretty shit behaviour on the part of said fans clearly goes over the head of the same, though.

In other news: FEMEN didn't let us down. Achtung! Contains some tits!

I find it cute how Polish public officials claim that we'll win the match against Russia while talking about football, but are aware that we're going to lose (0:3, optimistically) when asked about security issues after said match.

About the England fans...I agree that there are Englanders that follow the team who are no better than Neanderthal fucktards of the highest order. The vast majority of these fans are pretty much banned from travelling to Europe to 'watch' England. In the Germany World Cup the total number banned was around 3,000 with significant jail terms for those who broke the travel restriction. The majority of England fans are no worse or better than the Tartan Army of old.

Having said all that I would suggest that looking at your own house might not be a bad idea before castigating all England fans...its not like hooliganism is not uncommon in the Bundesliga.

As opposed to England who have, in the time since they won the World Cup, got to the semi-finals of both the European Championships and World Cup? :roll:

Clearly that was my point. :roll:

I think Portugal will make a surprise tonight.

*some of their fans.

You mean like hundreds of thousands of fans do anyway? You notice how any stadium England play in is a near sell-out?

I have no idea why you single out Rooney, but here we agree.

A pity the same can't be said for the trash called 'England Fans'.

Yay trolling.

Not that you care about generalising large groups of people. :roll:

Group B:
Germany 7
Portugal 7
Netherlands 3
Denmark 0

So meaning I got a tie today for Portugal and Germany (Lets say 1-1)

by **Crata** » Sat Jun 09, 2012 7:45 am

How are the Netherlands ranked so poorly? They finished second in 2010.

I don't see this game ending in a draw to be honest. Germany to win 2-1

edit - meaning I am obviously an idiot.

~~Germany to win 3-1 v Denmark~~

~~Portugal to loose v Cloggies 2-1~~

2 edit - not just an idiot...a stoned idiot.

Netherlands v Denmark 3 - 0

Germany Portugal 2 - 1

Ronaldo should carry portugal over a decisive game against netherlands 2-1
Germany will slaughter Netherlands winning 4-1
And Netherlands wins agianst Denmark 3-0 or 2-0

Wonder if Netherlands v Portugal in a week will have the feel of the Battle of Nuremberg from a few years back.

Ex -Leeds player as well...he was...not from this planet.

The EPL could quite well have been completely different had we not sold him for a paltry sum a tad above a million quid.

Indeed indeed. I wonder if Man U would be the juggernaut it is today were it not for his play in the 90s. What a man. It seems that just about every time I've seen him speaking he's been taking the piss with a perfectly straight face and serious tone. Wish more footballers were like him.

The funniest thing is how the tabloid press...as well as a ~~few~~ many prominent journo's/pundits thought the entire Seagull/Trawler comment was a sign of madness. Actually he was taking the piss out of them quite severely...always bring a smile.
