Might as well start a general Footy/Soccer thread

I was one of those doubters.

Very cool... Wales clearly won that.

**shafty85** · 07-02-2016, 10:26 AM

Deutschland better win today - they're the class of the tourney. The thought of Ronaldo winning (I think they'll beat Wales if only because they seem destined to do so, based on their performance so far yet somehow winning) makes me want to puke and I can't see them defeating die mannschaft.

While my Icelandic blood screams for a win tomorrow, it'll be the tallest task we have yet faced. If they are able to pull it off, why do we have to face Deutschland? Though, could you imagine a Portugal Iceland final, Iceland wins and their captain refuses to exchange jerseys with Ronaldo? Oh, that would be delicious.

That was a goal. Fuck italy.

**~mikey b** · 07-02-2016, 02:03 PM

Bullshit it was a push.

Enjoying my pint whilst watching the match.

You're an asshole. (That's American for "wanker")

**~mikey b** · 07-02-2016, 02:05 PM

I fart in your general direction.

Well luckily you're an anglophile, so you'd miss.

Guardian says:

Schweinsteiger has a goal disallowed. It was the right decision. Hummels drove a long angled pass into the box, and Schweinsteiger shoved De Sciglio over before heading past Buffon. It was a good header but a clear foul.

FIFtG

Not that the Guardian has any axe to grind with the Deutsche Fußballmeisterschaft

BBC says:

It's a lovely peel off the defender and cushioned header to the back post but Bastian Schweinsteiger's effort won't count. A shove in the back.

**~mikey b** · 07-02-2016, 02:14 PM

You want the Al Jazeera commentary?

**~mikey b** · 07-02-2016, 02:16 PM

You should stick to golf.

**stfu&gbtw** · 07-02-2016, 02:16 PM

BBC said it? It must be true.

**stfu&gbtw** · 07-02-2016, 02:19 PM

Lol at expecting the Brits to call the Germany match fairly. When did you start watching "footy"? 2012?

**stfu&gbtw** · 07-02-2016, 02:26 PM

Ozil!

**~mikey b** · 07-02-2016, 02:26 PM

I've been playing since 1976. How about you?

Watching footy since Soccer Made In Germany on PBS. How about you?

Got no horse in this race I just like a good game.

Can't argue with a great goal from Mezut Ozil. Legit.

Haha.. Similar. Played for the Czechowicz brothers.. No idea how you can go for that weak ass bullshit from the Degos.

**stfu&gbtw** · 07-02-2016, 02:42 PM

Not sure how the ball that led to the ITA corner wasn't a hand ball, but that was.

Fuck italy.

**~mikey b** · 07-02-2016, 04:08 PM

Sorry lost the intertoob at the pub.

Good round of PKs. No preference here.

Actually not true. I hate the fucking French.

**BigDaddy** · 07-02-2016, 05:10 PM

Tipp is happy...

And so am I. Great pk drama.

**Long duc dong** · 07-02-2016, 05:27 PM

I'm glad Germany won as they are clearly the better team. I usually root for the underdog but that is when it is a Wales or an Iceland. Despite the win Italy still has Germany's number. Based on talent this game should not have been this close.

I understand it when people say penalties are a lame way to decide things, but wow was that exciting.
