Germany v Italy semi final

[Gingerman]

Love to see a German goal now

 

[Maltin]

Just read that Italy have never scored more than two goals in a European Championship finals match. Will be interesting if Germany get back into the game.

 

[Maltin]

Another strange fact - Balotelli is now joint top scorer for Italy at European championship finals ever. And he's only 21.

 

[articul8]

You fucking know he is

?

Buffon, who said the Holocaust disgusted him and the "Nazi slur" had hurt him, added that he was willing to heed a call from the Jewish community, which asked him to switch shirts "out of respect for Jews, tziganes [gyspies] and homosexuals".
"I am ready to change numbers if that will help," he explained. "I didn't know the hidden meaning of 88."
Apparently that "Boia chi molla" episode was all an innocent error as well. "When I wore that shirt I was stupid because I did not know it was a phrase used by the fascist regime," said Buffon.

hmm

They've had enough chances.

 

[Gingerman]

That shoulda been 3-0

 

[agricola]

The only positive for the Germans is this should be all over by now, but isnt.

Pretty sure my fantasy football team is well and truly fucked! Managed to miss the first half couldn't believe it when I put the TV on!

 

[pocketscience]

You missed an "it's all over for you" opp there.

 

[editor]

They're going to miss this pen, aren't they?

 

[editor]

Oh, OK.

 

[articul8]

he's pointed to his wrist?

 

[articul8]

ref is telling Italians they haven't paid quite enough?

Got Ozil tho!

 

[agricola]

lol @ Schweinsteiger

 

[editor]

Why THE FUCK did they take a short free kick?

 

[butchersapron]

Only one poster kept their cool.

 

[Maltin]

Dont the refs normally add on more minutes if goals etc happen in added time? He added on just 17 seconds.

He took 43 seconds off them because Schweinsteiger decided to play that free kick short.

 

[sleaterkinney]

Italy have played well throughout the tournament, great tactics tonight.

 

[Gingerman]

Italy deservedly go through,a disciplined controlled performance,did'nt give the Germans much of a sniff.

 

[Maltin]

Just remembered I had Germany in a sweepstake at work.

Only one person voted that way.

Not really I was oddly attracted to the strapping on his back.

Italy had 48 hours less to prepare as well after coming through extra time and penalties last Sunday,did'nt look tired tonight.
