The goal was very nice but apparently we can't have it on the TV anymore
Thanks, but after being told we're not allowed to have Euro on I'm going to try and not get fired
He is shocked.
As am I.
Role Reversal or what! Croatia looked like the machine and Germany looked as listless as the Croats did against Austria
Congrats to BJB and Bronco, the party must be raging at the CCC.
Modric is going to be very very good, i can't believe how much maturity and cleverness he shows for how young he is...Spurs spent that wad of money very wisely if you ask me.
Wolfgang? Are you out there? This is worse than us losing to the Dutch
Not quite.
No it isn't...Croatia is a well coached nice team...as are Holland...I dare say that both teams have equal expectations by unbiased folks and pundits that on paper both the Dutch and Croats would be eliminated in the quarters or semi's whereas the Italians and Germans were sure fire Finalists...
The Dutch won 3-0 remember
I wouldn't say that Ballack looked like a rookie, he did look unsettled by the ability and pace with which the Croats closed the Germans down...He looked to rush everything after having the ball taken off him early and often by Kovac and Modric...Maybe the only rookie part of his game was how he couldn't adjust, but the whole team of Germans looked like they couldn't adjust. The free kick he took was pretty well hit and Pletikosa had to be good to parry it away
Loew should have subbed Gomez and Jansen off way earlier than he did. In fact he should have come out with what he told the media he was thinking, puttinf Friedrich on the right and starting Lahm at left back...Then Odonkor wouldn't have been made to look foolish all game.
It sure is.
The odds makers made Germany the fav cause they are in a easy group. Italy WOULD have been the fav as well if we switched the groups around. Italy is ranked higher fro a reason. Im not down on my boys cause its not the time to. What matters will happen when we play Portugal now in the knock out stage. We just made it more difficult to get top the final now with this loss.
I hope Romania pulls it off tomorrow but I HIGHLY doubt it.
