How ya doing, buddy?

Oh, I forgot to add: You need to send me the exact results you're betting for since you will get three points for any correct result (e.g. 2-0, 1-1, etc.), and one point if you bet for the winner (e.g. you bet 3-0, but the game ends 2-1)

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I guess that's because he's still angry that they didn't choose him to be successor of Klinsmann as the teamcoach.

I guess that's why most people (including me) don't really like him. It was the same with Beckham (what an idiot).

I was speaking idiomatically.

Some German newspaper published one of those stupid public opinion polls today. They asked people on the street which team will win the Euro 2008. 4% (I am not kidding!) said that they believe England will win the tournament. It's sad, it's so sad.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Here is the betting game sheet for day 1:

Betting Game Sheet (Day 1)

I think Switzerland would have deserved a tie, it's not like Jack Republic played absolutely amazing. The team who DID play absolutely amazing was Portugal. I really thing they're ready to get very far in this tournament.

Most amazing jew boots

Yesterdays two matches were pretty good, Croatia was VERY lucky since Austria (which can be found in the FIFA team list somewhere around rank #90, behind Mocambique) played really good.

The German victory wasn't that obvious, either. Poland had a very good defense and it was difficult to play against them. I except Germany and Croatia to win group B. Everything else should be a surprise.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah, I was like "thank God Klose missed (once) again".

Well, this match (France-Romania) sucked. There have been too few goals so far, I hope we will see more goals later on when Italy and Holland play against each other.

Most amazing jew boots

Wow so definitely a couple of surprises today. It's not like the Dutch team played totally amazing, but Italy was just very very bad.

Only two points for you today, but you're still pretty good!

Being German, I must say that I can't really approve any Dutch victory, but on the other hand, I can't deny the fact that it was well deserved. Yeah.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Haha, does anyone follow Greece-Sweden? This is a disaster match, I am about to switch off my television

Most amazing jew boots

What the fuck is Greece doing...

Anyone following Switzerland-Turkey? This seems to be waterball, not football :-)

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Okay so I had the updated sheet uploaded already, but apparently Turkey decided to score in the 94th minute

Bye, bye, Switzerland

Betting Game Sheet (Day 6)

Germany can be pretty lucky, although they lost, they only need one point against Austria on Monday to reach the quarter finals. They showed a terrible performance today nonetheless.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I can't even decide whether Croatia was playing absolutely well or whether Germany was playing absolutely disastrous. Maybe both, I dunno.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Oh, I also forgot to tell you guys that I think most referees are a fucking joke in this tournament. Just take the Belgian guy yesterday. He sends Schweinsteiger off with a red card that really wasn't a red card, ten minutes later, he gives Modric just a yellow card that should have been a red one at any fucking rate (not to forget that Mordic was elected player of the match later on).
Poland's goal should not have been given, Austria's penalty should not have been given. Etc.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yeah, you pretty much could see it without the replay that it was offside. Oh well. I guess the given penalty had something like "poetic justice" written all over it.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Yeah, Romania is doing pretty well, but I dunno whether they are able to play like that for another 45 minutes. I expect Italy to win this match, but they would be extremely lucky. It would be so absolutely funny if Romania and the Netherlands would send Italy and France home.

FELIPE NO

Wow, Holland. Three goals against the world champion, four goals against the vice champion, that's pretty impressive. Who will stop this team?
That means that either the world champion or the vice champion will have to go home next week. Who would have thought.

Betting Game Sheet (Day 7)

Ah, Deni, you were looking at three points for twenty seconds there. Yet again.

Sorry, I couldn't resist. I should be quiet, I didn't get any points at all today :-(

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I am glad that Greece is out. They played disastrous football. Spain got very lucky in the stoppage time, both teams deserved one point (and I deserved three points grrrrrr)

Betting Game Sheet (Day 8)

Six points for Shin today, not bad, sir!
