Official: Euro 2012 Discussion

Well, they'll be a lot of drama from the Italian players, who are the absolute queens of falling down by themselves and then grimacing on the ground like they got 3 open fractures.

Yes, because the fagot Busquets embodies machismo. Biggest queen in global football.

And guys...looks like a lot of German on German fire in here. A victimless crime I know (), but give each other a break...

Been a while since Europe had a good intra German punch up.

The only way they can come together and rebuild, is by first drifting apart.

Germany the South Africa of football!

Low needs to take some 101 courses at the Italian Tactic Institute of Milan. He was clearly out of touch during this Euro.

You people are nothing but trouble. Thats another game without spectators for you!

Most people with some knowledge thought that this team was not as good as the 2010 one.

I would disagree. If you look at some of the 2010 games, actually worse than we had this time. Ghana? Mediocre performance. Australia? Big deal. Semifinal? worse than this one. A no show. Only the shining moments are kept in memory. Argentina was "coached" by a junkie without any proper tactical awareness and not even proper training schedules. TODAY: We play 11 vs 11 and i scratch my balls. He even dropped trainings sessions and pretty much relied on the game intelligence of the players themselves. (NOT up to the standards of a top nation) and England was a mix of a good game on the German side AND luck. And of course England being major underachievers.

This team was worn out to a point. The Bayern part seemed so. The overall quality is not so much different. They also had a very short time getting together compared to all the other tournaments. And some of the hunngrier and fresh players should have played. But it's not the apocalypse of eternal shame. Germany did suck ALOT in much of the 1990s and early 2000s. I can live with this phase. We're not the 'new' Netherlands or England. Those comparisons are just completely simplified media blah blah

And damn if it's about the conversion of 1-2 goal chances in a do or die situation in a space of a few minutes every two years, **** does happen. It DOES SUCK, but it's also the nature of football.

That's actually typical German. Put us into one room with a topic of choice and we will complain at each other endlessly in pessimistic tirades. Glass is half empty etc.


@Tyon: The 96 cup was a lucky punch in a period of complete disasters and ugly unsuccsessful football. 92 to a point, 94, 98, 2000, solely based on 'old glory'. I'm glad we moved away from that.

In 1996, a golden goal and a penalty shoot out vs England. It was also LUCKY, but our memories betray us. If the golden goal didn't happen and we lost, this group would be remembered as '2nd place' old men and borderline retards. MÖLLER for example. How i hated this guy.

So Euro is ending soon.

That's the Polish way.

Well, at least we do not furiously debate politics or religion like the Americans do. We argue about the topics that matter, like football.

Agree with most of your post btw.

some people believe football is a matter of life and death, i am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that

My Mrs doesn't agree...

and i might add something to my post. Some now criticize the egalitarian style with the broad midfield, a 'weak' captain (Lahm) and good spirited bench players. I ask, how many cups did the "Leaders" Ballack or Kahn give to us. If you have 20 year olds doing good, why putting them in such a stupid pecking order.

Schweinsteiger once explained how Kahn took 2 years before he even talked to him, but instead using Schweinis towels to dry his feet. If this style was still the norm you would not see guys like Reus being so confident on the pitch. You would still have those old men kicking the ball around not allowing youngsters to shine. The end of Ballack was showing alot of this hipocrisy.

Thats it! No carnival for you.

I didnt even see that horrible goal of Bierhoff(most overrated german football player ever) because i was sitting on the toilet.

[Breakfast in Vegas]

Toki: the 2010 and 2012 squad is my favorite of all-time ( wasnt a football fan pre-90s), the only 2006 guy not on the current squad I miss is Frings, loved that guy.

I'm totally with you that the Vogts-Ribbeck-Voeller years were painful to watch.

[VersuZ]

i hope Italy wins tomorrow.

Vamos España!!!!!! A por la Victoria!!!! Unidos somos invencibles!!!!
