Ahah

I'm so hyped up for Sunday. And don't like that 1-1-1 record fool you, Italy is known for blowing the qualifying round and just killing it in the playoffs.

But then again Spain is also a strong team...

**Belsius** · 06-19-2008, 08:47 PM

Spain is the better team right now, but we also are the better team at sucking when it counts.

JayJayW · 06-19-2008, 09:03 PM

but i hate the fuckin italian team!

Nice way to spend my Sunday afternoon too. Watching Spain and Italy going toe-to-toe.

Major · 06-20-2008, 10:52 AM

I'm actually looking forward to the Croatia game today. Something tells me it's a Turkey upset today.

GO GET THE FUCKIN CROATS, TURKEY!!!

Major · 06-20-2008, 03:08 PM

Pretty good game so far. Lots of chances on both sides.

**Claudius** · 06-20-2008, 05:01 PM

What a terrible game.

JattDogg · 06-20-2008, 05:36 PM

LOL....oh man sorry but what a fucking flop finish.

How you can miss 3 penalties....only croatia man...only. haha.

Join the rest of us on the 9th hole!

JattDogg · 06-20-2008, 05:43 PM

great way to fuck upur weekend if ur croatian.

Doc, you have to feel good about your chances against turkey.....I know you cant count the turks out, but i dont think the "greece luck train" is running in this euro cup.

The MVP of West Hollywood · 06-20-2008, 06:00 PM

Brilliant!

From now on whenever I feel bad about the Raptors and Jays sucking, I'll just think back to this moment and remember "At least I'm not a Croatian futball fan!" I do the same thing with the Suns and Cubs

Major · 06-20-2008, 06:06 PM

Fuck Yeah!!!

turkey is my 2nd favourite country now!!!!

Major · 06-20-2008, 06:07 PM

edit: nvm

Nope .... Turkey's a good team. The Germans can't assume the Turks are going to be easy. We underestimate too many good teams.

BTW, sorry about the Croatians CG.

JattDogg · 06-20-2008, 10:06 PM

Meh..turkey is a decent team playing better then they really are.

Germans should win this won 3-1 or 2-0

Major · 06-20-2008, 10:21 PM

I honestly don't think so. If Croatia is better than Germany and Turkey beat Croatia then it's possible Turkey could actually take Germany. It'll be interesting.

**Belsius** · 06-21-2008, 12:05 AM

Im cheering for Turkey, but I can see germany scoring 5. If the keep playing their efficent soccer turkey doesnt have anyhting to do.

what are you a computer scientist speaking of tautologies? Sounds like something out of one of my 2nd year comp sci courses haha.

if a >b and b>c then it implies a>c. haha.

I see what your saying but i've never really thought Croatia to be a power team. They are kind of like england right now, should be winning these games but just dont..that said they can go out and beat a good team (Germany) and then lose to a crappier team.

I dunno man, i think turkey are running on pure luck right now. Hats off to them, they've gotten this far and so you have to respect that.....I just don't see Germany losing. I think Germany in its stride will destroy turkey.

**Claudius** · 06-21-2008, 08:56 AM

As a Croatian fan, Turkey did get through on supreme luck on that game. The one thing I absolutely hate about the Croatian team is give us a top tier team to play against and we'll show up. Anything lower, and we think it's an easy win and all of a sudden we struggle. I just don't get it. Fuck, I know some Croatian fans are still upset over the ref not allowing the coach to bring in the sub just before the other goal. I agree that the officiating is poor, but the marking was even worst on that goal.

And if anyone honestly believes Turkey will win, well, they played VERY poorly last game, kinda reminded me of the Greeks by just playing with themselves, and they're not an attacking team. Germany LOVES those types of opponents, because it gives them time to set up their efficient offence. The way to beat the Germans is to take the game to them and get them to adapt to you. Either way, Germany will win handedly against Turkey.

Oh and GO SPAIN!!!! Destroy the Italian team which has only been surpassed by Turkey in terms of luck this tournament.
