C'mon John, 6 more posts and you'll be promoted... B) can I have a beer then?

The guy they named the mountain after, right? wasn't that mountain named after the sports clothing?

hmmm doggzzzzzssshit!

Who's Tom Evered?

Nah, couw doesn't like alcoholic beverages... desSisCrect.

France - Greece, half time: 0 - 0 who'd-a-thunk it. Greece is the dominant team... I guess these guys will go straight to Mount Olymp when they get home anyhow, but they got a few notches closer to Zeus himself with this effort. And WHERE are the French? They play like they're already towards the end of the second half, tired, lustless, without ideas. Nowhere near yesterday's fireworks.

plop! pschhh! I'm ready

I usually don't really like experimental music when guitars are involved, but I must admit that this Helmut "Joe" Sachse from 1981 that I picked up recently is pretty kewl. He's a bit of a weirdo and not only plays two guitars at once occasionally, but also manages to play the flute while strumming on the guitar. Anyhow, here is a little sample of his work (4.5Mb mp3, right click and save to listen), titled Weber/Parkweg (Weber lasts 7m30, the remaining 2 minutes are "Parkweg"). Sachse is on guitar and flute, Manfred Hering is on alto.

for our resident Moose: poopmoose!

yeah well, F you too you stoopid chess playing... ermm... stoopid guy! I know for a fact that you smell from your mouth! He has a nose in his mouth? he does? woa! he's not only a stoopid guy, he's a frigging freak of nature too!

here's the smart, now where's the stoopid? (for all the uninformed: this nice little city car that uses less petrol in a year than a SUV does per hour is called Smart)

No arguments there Couw , all I'm saying is look at the dissalowed goal again. Told you already: rules is rules. Touch the goaly in the 5m area and you're toasted. No go there. That 5m line was not just drawn so the goaly knows from where to kick off.

this proves that rocky is on his own side. lucky me. I feel much better now. pheww. hey rocky, when will you finally get MMMMAaaaaaDDD!!!!

come on Gary, these games are played by the UEFA rules. Those explicitly state that a goaly is NOT to be touched AT ALL within the 5 metre area if it's not something silly. This was NOT something silly. The goaly was pushed down. Even the BBC will have showed that part. That may be okay in British football, but we're not playing the FA cup here. This is the UEFA cup and the rough British football that we all know and love needs to adapt a little to the brittle guys from the continent, you know. Face it, those are the rules, the referee was right, England lost, Portugal proved to be the better team.

YOU got rocky boy on your side???! That makes me soooo MAAADDDDD!!!!!! (is this true rocky????)

fun inflames. but not with me. fun is fun and flames is flames. more fun than flames wherever I look on this board. don't hurry be wappy.

I am not a doctor

The Portugese lacked in the final touch, their front was not fast enough. The midfield was theirs, also because the English let them, English football hardly needs a midfield anyhow, but then the Portugese front players were simply too slow under the pressure of so much defense, took too much time to decide what to do, take on the ball, play a little, think, decide otherwise, come on! do something! The English team was very well adapted to this fact after their early goal: many people in the back and their way fast deciding guys up front. Long balls, skip the midfield, precision passes, the works. (Something the Portugese were feghing good at as well, what incredible passes were played this evening). Costa broke the English tactic open with his speed (and made the second goal). The English proved their resilience and their speed with that second goal. Brilliant playing on both sides. The English tactic was more of a reaction to the offensive Portugese, but that doesn't detract from the quality really. Very fair game and a very good referee BTW.

what a game. I need to have another beer and calm down. pity for the English, truely, they played some feghing brilliant football this time around (I mean the tournament!). That first goal was more than superb. But those Portugese had a drive that was near impossible to beat. Incredible. Do you think Deco is tired now? Cannot call this a deserved win, but it had to happen and the Portugese showed some *very* attractive football. And what a will to win too.
