Just bought this baby, can't wait to try it out.
Now I only have to convince some friends to buy it, too.

I wonder who creates the list of the "UEFA Team of the Tournament"? From reading over it, I assume the team consists at least by 50% of the worst commentators of each country, drunken.
Philipp Lahm in that list, what the hell..

Well, it's all coming how I imagined it would, that's why I wrote yesterday that Spain will win the Euro again.

At last, it's a bit lucky for Italy, but in the end it's Löw's mistake.
Bringing a Gomez, who is technically vastly inferior and not able to keep up the excellent passing game which gives the german team its strength against tough and close defending Italians, which does not allow him to play his "I'll wait in the box and kick the ball in as soon as it happens to find my feet"-game, is bad enough.

But playing Podolski all the time is a disgrace. You have talented, strong technical players on the bench, and Podolski plays AGAIN AND AGAIN, since 2006. He has virtually no playing intelligence, his passing game is sloppy, his movement off the ball is hardly visible and his defensive play is literally non-existant. He might well be the worst player in the whole german squad.

I wonder if Tim Wiese could play worse on the left flank.

I guess not. Löw is a good coach overall, but this is something he has been doing over and over, and Podolski, although he scored a goal, hasn't played otherwise than he did today in the matches so far, in all the matches since 2010, actually. The only thing he has on his side is an excellent shooting technique, hats off. But that's simply not enough, he is like a foreign particle in the german play.

Man, this is annoying, even though I supposed this to happen.
Only plus: We don't lose against Spain in the finals, as we would have otherwise. 

German national players in a nutshell:

Beer. Always beer. I never buy shots at bars anymore, after learning the hard way that spending 150+ euros in a night leads to economic shitfuck. Usually I just drink beer when partying and of course vodka shots and wines at dinners. The occasional whisky goes down with ease when friends are at my place or when relaxing after work/school.

Haha wow, you either are a hell of a drinker or you pay a lot more for shots than I use(d) to.
When my buddies and I go out to really drink a lot, we're going to a place where the shots and mixed drinks cost 1€ on saturdays... the only way I might get to spending 150€ on one such night would be if you would count the fees for the ambulance transport. 

Too bad Sweden, I just felt they were coming into the game and starting to even dominate the field a bit, but then that well-hit header. I hope they come back in the second half, or at least for a single magic action by Ibrahimovic.

Edit: HA!

Too bad Ireland, that goal against you came too early.
And about yesterdays game:

I think Spain had some more shots in the statistics that I've read, but overall I'd agree with you, it was a pretty open game. I even came to sympathize with Italy, they might make it really far in this tournament.
I'm looking forward to the matches today, Sweden vs. the host is an interesting setup, and England vs. France is just a classic confrontation. My bets would be on France winning/saving a draw, but I might be awfully wrong here, if England brings on a performance like Italy did yesterday.
