~ Euro Cup 2008 and The Gold Cup (Concacaf)~

Talk to me Lyle...
What did you think of the game?

How good of player is Dempsey becoming?

I will say I thought the US should have won more comfortably but in the end they won and thats what matters.

All I know is GERMANY WILL WIN EURO 2008!!!!!!!! YES BABY!!!!!!!!

And if you wonder why an aussie is supporting Germany, well its my background! Haha! ^-^

I'd sooner disembowl myself with Garden sheers than see Germany win anything and I'm of Germanic Heritage !

Here's to be being an Englishman and having an Original Idea !

England too win 2008 and trouncing the completely boring Krauts in the Final just like that Glorius night in September 01

The English Bring chaos , excitement,numbers ,colour,passion and lots and lots of money to any tournament and we're loved by everbody as a result !!!!!

The Krauts bring the beech Towels , blonde children and that wonderfull German Surliness !

.....................Ingerlan Ingerlan Ingerlan .

Stick that in your Der Bilde and smoke it Fritz!

Only time will tell.

History shows England won the last game.
I say stuff history.

That was then, this is now!

England's performance last year in the world cup was appaling. Hopeless.
I would be ashamed!

Even though...I GO FOR CHELSEA FC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Germans are the stronger power in football, compared to England.
This is now!

You're all drunk or under the influence of a highly banned substance
The final 4 will be France, Holland, Portugal and Italy that will decide who will win Euro 2008

Haha yeah. Would like to see another Italy v France showdown.
Portugual? Hmmm Don't think so, not if Germany's Schweinsteiger pulls another hat trick like in the 3rd place playoff last year in WC06

Schweinnsteiger cuoldn't make another hattrick like that if his live depended on it.
And it's a fact that playing for third an fouth place doesn't make for the most inspitation.

Nah see you don't know that. You don't know who can pull off what.
Ronaldinho! People praised him...hit the world cup. People were blown away by disappointment.
I have every faith in the germans, as you would with yours.

WOOOOOOO GO USA!!!

That's because he is not more then a hard working midfield/forward player with not the best of skills
The German competition is not one of the strongest.With emphasis on workethic
But under Klinsi and now under Joachim Low there seems to be more technique involved

By the way, i think that Mexico is a strong candidate to take home the concacaf cup

DD you, like myself, seem a strong football fan.

What's your opinion on italy's wc06 performance?

Legends or cheaters?

God the only thing more boring than watching Germany play Football is having to talk to a Native

Damn man you really dislike these germans?
What happened there, one of them smack u in a fight in ur homeland?

England and Germany are massive rivals.

I know you can't help your 'pigeon-like-style' to follow the rest of your crowd.

...my...dear...boy. ^-^

You're right Lucky, i am a massive soccer fan. I even played semi pro for a while.
On Italy's performance, it's a bit of both.
The penalty they got against the Aussies was bogus but nevertheless imo they deserved to win
As always they start slow but grow into a tournament. It was not the stuff legends are made off but they beat all comers.(even with the refs help ;)

Don't think you'd trust me for 1 !

Nicely said. Still as individuals, they took every chance they could get to milk the ref. Then again, C.Ronaldo does that almost every game too. Lol.

What ever you do, don't mention the war !! (quote from Basil Fawlty in Fawlty Towers)
Holland and Germany is always a tense match even when there is mutual respect

Haha mate. You give me lip...i'm gonna give you lip back. What kind of german supporter would I be if I didn't haha.

Besides I was born and live in Australia myself, Aussies vs Poms?
Biggest sports rivals...take the rugby and cricket for example...hahaha

In modern day soccer the ref seems to be the weakest link.
How many times a goal or certain chance got flagged down by the linesman for a offside that wasn't
Time to take a page out of the book of other sports like ice hockey(goalline ref) football(play stopped, so does the time)

The Ashes series gave me some the greatest Sporting Memories of my life !

Remeber the 2nd test at Egbaston when we won by 2 runs after the great stand between Micheal Kasprovic and Breet Lee !

We were having a family get together at my Uncles and it got down to the last ball I'd walked out the kitchen were all my Uncles,Brothers and Cousins were watching it and had my head in my hands when a massive yelp went out !!

It was unbelivable ! Brilliant !

they are intense but never nasty although i didn'tlike Monty getting Racially abused in Perth !

The last series we had no chance losing Simon Jones , Harmison ,Vaughan , and Trescothick was just too much !

It will be much closer next time!
