Holy shit! 3-1 ^_^

I am glad, but I have lost 50 dollars! All of us did the rate on a victory of Holland.

To justify creation of this theme here, I shall warn Thomas: after a match of Germany with Turkey there will be terrible fights. So it is necessary to be more cautious!
Turks are barbarians. And when they will start to lose, they will play dishonestly.

[Silfir]

I don't get it. When did Turkey play dishonestly?

If anything, we have to respect their fighting spirit. To turn around not one, but three games in a row despite having been behind is something.

Of course, the Germans practically invented fighting spirit, so there's no way in hell we'll lose. You Russians take out Spain or Italy or whatever so we can kick your asses into the next decade

[warheart]

Gotta replay this, because there's no way Russia will kick our spanish asses in semis, they'll get another 4 goals

Nah, to be honest, I'm quite impressed with Russia's match yesterday. Arshavin and Pavlyuchenko are both so freaking good, and I hope we can take Italy out today to have a rematch.

In the other hand, I don't think Turkey can do anything against Germany, many important players will miss the match.

Germany should be too strong for Turkey to overcome. People are now saying that we shouldn't count the Turks out, but if there is one thing that has remained a constant in football, it's that the German's ALWAYS do well in the World Cup/Euro Cup.

Besides, I want my half nation to stuff the Turks. After those dodgy matches the Turks had when they started attacking people at half time........they've made me sad to support football at times.

Russia yesterday were awesome. Arsene Wenger should now go and buy Arshavin, since he looks like he's going to be a huge star. And Podolski, who is tearing shit up with the Germans.

Italy vs Spain should be a good match tonight, although I think Italy will win it, since Spain always have the same habits as holland, where they do well, then fail to deliver in the big matches. I hope Spain win, but the head says Italy.

An Englishman criticises another country's football fans? Such hypocrisy :P

I'm guessing a Germany vs Italy final, with Germany the eventual victors. But Russia really have impressed me - I hope they do well. Still, Holland weren't playing with their best players, and I think under some serious offence Russia will crack. We'll see soon enough though...

Aye, that whole Switzerland vs Turkey game a few years ago has just stained Turkish football in my eyes. Whilst they play with passion, they do get very zealous over the whole thing, as the violence from the Turkish fans and players showed. And I know English football fans are nuts. Can't condone it, but our players haven't ran down into the tunnel after the match and started a fight. It seems going into Turkey to play is a very frightening prospect.

But let's not get into a race war here. I've got nothing against Turkish people before someone starts throwing ideas around. I just think they need to remain a bit calmer.

Hopefully Germany will win the entire thing, but I think Italy will take the crown. I just see them winning the entire thing by a couple of fluke goals and a lot of defending (which is basically what Italy is all about). I hope to god I'm wrong, I really do, since they're boring as hell to watch.
