    Yes, very sad. Even more so if you consider that the excitement of the tournament may have played a role in it. And this had to happen to one of the nicest, most modest, hardest working guys in the team.

    Are you sure he won´t be playing, though? He's made from stainless steel, you know. It would be typical if the pair decided together that Boula should go on.

    He was at the training so he probably plays, hope he doesn't do it for the wrong reasons, feeling obliged or anything. He should be home with his wife if you ask me, in the end it's just game.

    Funny thing you say that. This afternoon I was thinking what I would do.

    If I were Van Basten I would tell him: "Do what you have to do, first things first, after all football is only a game."

    And if I were Boulharouz I would asnwer: "I'm playing. I'm playing precisely because football is a game, it brings out what sort of man you are, and I'm no quitter."

    But what do I know? Maybe I am just too romantic.

    I have no idea how this game will turn out so I'm going steal Proles prediction

    Why did the chicken cross the road?

    So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
    but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
    chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli

    She's ahead of of me on points, too.

    There you go, Proletariat, already you have guru status. When in doubt, follow the lady.

    I got a lucky boost yesterday with two right on guesses, but my over all track record isn't very impressive.



    I was gonna go over what most people were thinking with 3-2, but I think I'm gonna wuss out and get more in line with the consensus here.

    Portugal 2 - 0 Germany

    I agree with Louis looking ahead, Spain is too pretty for gritty Italy, Pirlo or no.

    Go Portugal!

    Esta biem!
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    "The purpose of a university education for Left / Liberals is to attain all the politically correct attitudes towards minorties, and the financial means to live as far away from them as possible."

    Not a single German goal, my lady? But the indomitable Sebastian Schweinsteiger is back tonight, after his one-match ban over that red card.

    Said Mr Schweinsteiger is a considerable offensive force, provided he keeps his trap shut and his hands where they belong.
