Let us look at this very informative video.
Matter of perception. I would actually wager than without the absolute brilliance of Özil in offensive re-conversion, Schweinsteiger would stand out as very mono-dimensional.
Look at Goal 1 from Germany. Müller does all the damn work on the diagonal run. Off course the freaking Flatlined Dutch defense (huhu) is bollocks, but you see how efficient and damn good THESE Germans are.
Goal 2 is damn scary on how easy Fussball is. Long ball, Müller taps it to Gomez who leaves it to Özil. Özil passes to Schweinsteiger that relays to Gomez fvcking A. 2-0 game over.
I do not see what football you lot are watching but if anything that is absolute world class.
SOMETIMES there are other things in life than posting here. No i did not miss anything. Family/gf/holidays etc...My Australian cousin came here watching the games with me out in town. Yes, alcohol involved. But he was surprised by the lack of aggression and fights...
(edit: By Australia i mean the Kangoroo Land... my mistake)
On a side note. I hope Germans get Italy in the Semis. That works like a charm every time.
Useless cable supplier is down once again, blackouts for all customers in the centre of Copenhagen...
"we hope to have it fixed in the next six hours"
Err... thanks.
Not sure what game you were watching, but the first goal was much less dramatic than you let on. Hardly any work went into getting that ball to Gomez. The second goal, if you want to nitpick, was orchestrated by Neuer, who volleyed the ball to a midfielder well in the Dutch half. Following a succession of passes around a non-existant Dutch defense, the ball once more found Gomez.
Absolute world class does not mirror my sentiments. Matter of fact, that is strongly overstated.
Some funny fact about Ukraine team:
Animation film was created 42 ago in Soviet Union about football match between Ukrainian Cossacks and different nations teams.
In this film Cossacks play with the same group and in the same order as at Euro 2012
1) Cossacks vs Medieval Knights (Sweden)
2) Cossacks vs Frensh Musketeers (France)
3) Cossacks vs English Gentleman (UK)
In the film Cossacks won Swedes 2:1 with the same goal sequence as at Euro 2012 match.
So.. who wants to make bets, guys?
Here a link to it: http://www.youtube.com /watch?v=XvyTWxzvR6U
PS In the film Cossacks also won vs French 2:1 and vs English 13:3![]()
UKR-ENG 13:3 seems like a safe bet.
You guys are boring
It was predicted 42 years ago! Legit without a doubt
PS. Ran away to bet $100k on this.
