Germany get such easy passes through major tournaments, it's ridiculous. They're a really good team, and naturally one of the favourites every time round because of that, but they never have to play any good teams until the semis in most major tournaments, it's crazy! Though it's true that Croatia will be a tricky game, I would fully expect Germany and Croatia to sail through this group.

Good performance by Portugal last night, after a boring first match. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow though, the first game between two awesome teams - Italy and Holland.

Gotta bust out my Robben jersey.

Austria is goin to get blistered today by Croatia and I can't wait.

Kick off in 10 minutes

Unfortunately I don't have a TV, but thanks to my resourcefulness I'm watching it online.

Shame that it's in Italian though.

We started watching Czech-Switz yesterday, but at half time we went outside and got really drunk and had a barbecue and missed the second half. Was it any better than the first half?

nope

yes

YES!

Cristiano RoLOLdo

Im rooting for Holland and Sweden!!

Croatia goal, minute 4... looks like slaughter

So who here isn't rooting for Poland?

yes holland, yes

No.

When does Holland get to play?

When's the earliest they could get eliminated?

I think they have a match around wednesday and if my I remember correctly it's against Italy

They play Italy tomorow

uuuuups! italy will go down

i seriously think ronaldo and crosby are the same person, they play football and hockey well interchangably, and whine equally.

austria put up a fight, holy shit.



now it's time for everyone to root for poland

We're gonna do it.

yes

early scare for the germans

well done gomez

hahahaha nice job

I think it's unfair to have nationalized players

Gomez was born in Germany you know? But otherwise I can see your point.

Lukas Podolski :/

I think it's unfair to your face

Any reason in particular?

Podolski should feel terrible.

Yeah that one is a bit odd. Although I guess if you grew up somewhere most of your life you would probably consider yourself a citizen (i.e more German than Polish in his case). I agree less with players going off and playing for Countries which they have connections with and they haven't even been there. That happens often with some English players (often with African connections)

Thousands of people here have names like Podolski you god damn faggots

lawl goal

So? He's still polish born you homo

And he's just gone and scored against them

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Edit: What i meant was that many people here have polish names, which doesn't mean they are polish. I had a friend a few years ago called Markowski, and he was german through and through.

Ballack looks like Tony Almeida

Bloody Hell Miroslav Klose is Polish born too...get your own goddamn players Germany.

Go the hell away.

I lold.

Lehman shat himself with that last shot

Podolski is Polish, he often goes there to stay with his family and his grandma makes him delicious perogies [citation needed]. He doesn't really deny his roots.

Klose is a traitorous faggot who wants nothing to do with Poland.

anyway what I'm getting at is that Germany is gay, hope this helps

I sort of disagree with you

because any neutral should see the comedy in having germany lose to poland?

DEUTSCHLAND

SHIT YES

Podolski was a bit lucky with the second, but damn that was a good finish.

Oooooh and should have scored again...

FUCK YES.
Fucking polish assholes got their asses handed to them.

I lol'd at klose's failed attempt to score.

Yeah, he totally messed up...

Location: Germany

lol WWII

DON'T MENTION THE WAR

Why not?
