Able to catch the first half, not the second.

Spain's uniforms look very 1994y

by **Travis of the Cosmos** Mon Jun 27, 2016 12:37 pm

1-0... Not too bad that I only get to catch the first half since if this is a normal Italian team they will just pass the ball around for the next 60 minutes or so until the game ends.

On the other hand, you have 120 minutes to show you're the better team. If you can't do that, then you run the risk of losing in penalty kicks. Don't want to lose in PKs, then do something about that in regulation. Sometimes it means the better team loses. That happens in other sports, too. I look at it kind of like the MSU-Nebraska game. Yes, we lost due to a bullshit call. But we had 59 minutes to show that we were the better team that day, and we let the damn thing stay too close.

However, the better team didn't lose last night. The better team didn't necessarily win, either. They're pretty much even.

What's the big deal? Argentina should be pretty used to that by now.

bump..

Bob,

what team are you pulling for in Euro?

My team was Czech Republic (grandparents born there, lovely country) but they are not very good and didn't make it out of group stage.

Where does Buffon rank on the all-time goalie list?

Has to be top 5.

Italy looks like a world class team right now, as good as the Germans.

Germany vs Italy should be a semi final or final...what a whale of a quarterfinal game.

The jokes are just wayyyyyyyy too obvious, but England have exited Euro for the second time in a matter of days.

Iceland!

Big game today you guys. You're either rooting for Italy or you're a savage monster.

What time Travis? I probably missed it.

by **InTenSity** Sat Jul 02, 2016 3:33 pm

No worries Travis. I found it, but my daughter wants to watch umizoomi.

Actually, I turned on the TV right before Germany scored. I don't really care. But I'll be rooting for Germany just to even things out on this board.

That was the shitiest penalty kicking followed by some off the best kicks. Exciting finish. Go Germany!

You're the worst no one likes Germany. Go Wales I suppose.

So the best teams in the world are Portugal and Chile? Everyone knows that your sporting prowess should be in direct correlation with how many bombs you can drop on somebody.

Fucking soccer, man.

Chile, yeah they are one of the best. Portugal was kind of fluky. They are champions but that doesn't make them one of the best.

Seems like about 150 of the posts were people trying to ruin/hijack the thread with the same stupid shit that invades so many threads.

And honestly, credit to you (and a couple of others), for continuing to post in it about soccer, even when it was on the verge of being derailed.

We'll try to start and maintain an EPL thread when that starts up next month. I'm sure it'll go all over the place, but we can just bring it back
