GMC Forum _ CHILL OUT _ European Championship: Finale

Posted by: Tolek Jun 29 2008, 07:13 PM

Hey folks,
as some of you may now, today takes place the final match of the European Championship!
Spain VS Germany
Who is your favourite? Who has the better chance to win in your opinion?
I want "the Juan M. Valero´s" to win, if you know what I mean. biggrin.gif

Happy watching!

I'm from Germany and everyone is going nuts around here but i think spain will win (not into soccer at all). I think I won't go and watch it at all...

Posted by: MickeM Jun 29 2008, 07:17 PM

Spain!

Posted by: Tolek Jun 29 2008, 07:19 PM

I live in a Luxembourgish village which is only some meters away from Germany. I hear them shout: "FINALE!!! OOOHOHHH!!!". biggrin.gif

Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Jun 29 2008, 07:19 PM

I will be watching and I hope Spain win and think they will win.

Posted by: chmilew Jun 29 2008, 07:21 PM

I'd like that Spain wins, but Germany have better chances in my opinion !

VAMOS ESPAÑA ! tongue.gif

Posted by: Caelumamittendum Jun 29 2008, 07:23 PM

I had my hopes up for Russia and Croatia, but now I must say I'm with Spain. Germany deserves nothing, really. Good tactical, but they have been the worst side in most of their games.

Posted by: Tolek Jun 29 2008, 07:28 PM

My personal favourites have been Poland and France. Unfortunately, they both got defeated. sad.gif Then I had my hopes up for Russia, but never for Germany. tongue.gif (exceptionally in the match against Portugal because her in Luxembourg live a lot of them and its pretty annoying what they do^^).

GO, GO, SPAIIIIN!!!

Posted by: chast Jun 29 2008, 07:28 PM

I'm from Germany, but I really don't care who wins. I think Spain is the better team, I'm gonna watch the game besides.

Posted by: SonofDestiny Jun 29 2008, 07:38 PM

Spain ftw smile.gif

Posted by: Mark. Jun 29 2008, 07:38 PM

Only the beer and pizza maby laugh.gif laugh.gif ...

Yeah, watching soccer is always a good reason to have some beer wink.gif

Posted by: Matt23 Jun 29 2008, 07:44 PM

Spain, though i'm not going to bother watching all of it. I'll just watch the second half. I was supporting sweden but they got kicked out before the quarter finals or something. sad.gif

Yes. biggrin.gif However, I don´t like it so much. The only beer I like is the German Bitburger. xD Now, I´m going to watch the match. wink.gif

You need a good reason for NOT drinking beer laugh.gif laugh.gif

Spain!! I think maybe USA people can't even understand the european championship madness that's here in Europe biggrin.gif

Posted by: chast Jun 29 2008, 08:01 PM

Hm, some beer lovers here ? laugh.gif

Posted by: Tolek Jun 29 2008, 08:11 PM

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!!!!!
A goal for Spain!!!!! biggrin.gif

Posted by: chast Jun 29 2008, 08:12 PM

That Torres guy is damn fast huh.gif

Posted by: Tolek Jun 29 2008, 08:14 PM

Yeah, he´s fast, but Yngwie Malmsteen is faster. biggrin.gif

Posted by: Caelumamittendum Jun 29 2008, 08:27 PM

Referee is a jerk. For what reason did he give Casillas the yellow card? That was clearly wrong!

Posted by: axelsson Jun 29 2008, 08:28 PM

Spain is going to win! Torres is so strong and fast, better than ever. 2-0 to spain I say.

Posted by: Tolek Jun 29 2008, 08:29 PM

He got a yellow card because he wasn't at his right place. IMO, he shouldn't have got one.

Posted by: Caelumamittendum Jun 29 2008, 08:32 PM

Yeah, clearly, but he left his positioned to sort things out nicely, as a proper captain - he didn't do anything wrong, just broke up the fight. That's a captain's duty. Referee was wrong about that.

Posted by: Tolek Jun 29 2008, 08:38 PM

The commentator on the German channel ARD said that this foul wasn´t very bad, so that he hadn´t to leave his place. Maybe the referee was annoyed by his and Ballack´s opinions.
Anyway... GO, SPAIN!!!

Posted by: Nick325 Jun 29 2008, 08:40 PM

i rooting for Germany because Spain kicked Italy out by a penalty kick

Posted by: Tolek Jun 29 2008, 09:28 PM

YEEEEAAAAAH!!!! SPAIN WINS THE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!
biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif
I´m so happy Germany didn´t win. Unfortunately, there was only one single goal. But both teams played well. The German fouled their opponents often which is a bit unfair.

Posted by: Nighthawk Jun 29 2008, 09:32 PM

I don't think so (Quote: Both teams played well) ...Germany played like sh....t ....I am glad Spain made it because they showed nice football and they were simply better...the way they played it must have been 4:0....and hey.I am German by the way

Posted by: Tolek Jun 29 2008, 09:35 PM

Well said. Gut gesagt.^^

Posted by: Tolek Jun 29 2008, 09:50 PM

He collided with a Spanish player. He looks like a boxer. biggrin.gif

Too much noise here in Paris too laugh.gif ohmy.gif

Congrats To Spain, fullyyyy Deserved that !

Posted by: Marek Rojewski Jun 29 2008, 11:01 PM

Well I think that the match was quite unexciting in compare to some other games in this tournament. I am not a big football fan, but sometimes I like to watch few matches or play football manager. I wouldn't be sad if Germany had won, after all there are few Poles in their team, in fact the best polish attackers are there sleep.gif Still Spain was the best team in all the tournament, so it is good they won.

Posted by: Bogdan Radovic Jun 29 2008, 11:23 PM

I enjoyed watching this match wink.gif I didn't cheer for any of the teams , but I enjoyed awesome soccer match wink.gif

Spain really deserved it!

Haha, sorry, came out somewhat wrong. Of course I didn't mean it like that laugh.gif No offence! I just meant, that judging by their display of play in the Euros, the right winner was Spain. Germany has had some...not so good perfomances. smile.gif

Posted by: audiopaal Jun 29 2008, 11:40 PM

Spain was awesome tonight, congratulations smile.gif

It was never a problem in Brazil rolleyes.gif Actuallly, one can see noise after every regional championship (and there are lots of them)

And oh, you should check brazilian streets in 2014. The country will stop, I am sure tongue.gif

Yeah,I could have been 4-0 or some,great play indeed!

Posted by: Enucleation Jun 30 2008, 03:29 AM

IF this is the game I think it is (can you tell I'm not a fan biggrin.gif) then a friend of mine was really upset because apparently espn didn't show it over here or something. I wonder if he knows the score I guess I could tell him.

Well apparently the team you all wanted to win won so uh.. Yayyyyy!

Posted by: Gerardo Siere Jun 30 2008, 05:17 AM

Congratulations to Spain the game was "boring", players must try to win even the strategy chosen can make the much boring. It´s just my personal preference, I don´t like strong teams as Germany to use foreinger players, that´s kinda cheating.

Posted by: Juan M. Valero Jun 30 2008, 05:41 AM


Posted by: Tolek Jun 30 2008, 06:07 PM

Hurray! smile.gif
I´m already looking forward to the World Cup. smile.gif I don´t know if Spain will be as good as this year. Brazil is of course a favourite. I hope that France will be better in the next 2 years. smile.gif
FRANCE VS. BRAZIL... what a finale. xD
See you!
