Mine is unhappy. He is not fond of Germany. I was hoping Turkey would pull through. I am not sure why. It is only a game.
Carry on.

I've just told mine to "not even think about it" - I've sat through the football now he can wait until Big Brother is finished.

IrresistibleB1tch said:

Extra time

rasplicious said:

hehehe Mine is a HUGE England fan. I cannot say it is just a game when England is playing.
I do not mind watching football but I will not watch Big Brother.

rasplicious said:

He is English...does he need a reason to fart?

shanti0608 said:

I'm addicted

rasplicious said:

It happens. They are good at getting ppl addicted to those shows.

kiki25 said:

... why do British men find it so entertaining?

shanti0608 said:

Mine is also.
He is not happy.
I think I have something that will make him happier later.

rasplicious said:

I think it is just a "man thing.

rasplicious said:

I have no concept, all I know is that it is NOT funny

IrresistibleB1tch said:

Wait...you're back????? How did I miss that????


That said, I was rooting for Turkey.

the Turkish team certainly put up a hell of a game, so i would have been happy for them, too. but hey, we'll take it...

IrresistibleB1tch said:

I didn't realize immediately it was you who posted here, especially as I hadn't seen your new avatar. It took me a couple of posts to get it as I was not expecting you here .

Serious said:

hi Martina!

IrresistibleB1tch said:

Hi Martina ! I thought you were the IrresistableRich or whatever his name is guy who once told me he is your brother .

IrresistibleB1tch said:

Yeah, I come and go like that around here too. I never venture into P&R anymore so that's why I haven't "seen" you around I suppose.

Serious said:

nobody in their right mind would ever claim that!

I´m a Turk, and I hate football(=soccer) with a passion.
It only seems to bring out the worst in people and some folks seem to see it as a substitute for war, an outlet for their darkest and most simplistic and primitive nationalistic instincts. Sure, it´s just a game, that´s the way it should be but unfortunately, the reality I see around here, in the media, among my colleagues, in the streets and in the pubs, is a bit different, and this goes for both sides, German or Turkish. Give me a good basketball game any day...the trainers are always dressed much sharper, the whole attitude seems to be more sophisticated, and the fans behave like civilized human beings.
At least the basketball fans don´t use the game as an outlet for their political views and anger.

I also dislike American football for the same reasons....way too much testosterone and alpha-male thinking as far as I´m concerned.

The only good thing about football is that it seems to give some countries a much needed emotional boost sometimes, and that´s not a bad thing but when things get ugly, they get REAL ugly. Tonight,many Germans and Turks celebrate together,and that is another beautiful thing, it CAN unite people sometimes, let´s just wish it stays this way, and let´s wish that one day people won´t need their flags and some sports tournaments for achieving this.
The media over here were really a bit worried that things might get ugly but fortunately, up to now, people are partying and celebrating together.

This being said, I congratulate the German team and I´m happy for the Germans, it was the only match that I watched from the beginning to the end, and it was quite an exciting game. The German press totally underestimated the Turkish team , some even ridiculed them, and it took two victories to even be taken seriously even though Turkey played quite well during the World Cup back in 2002.

BUT....

Spain will win from Russia tomorrow and then Spain will win the final from Deutschland!

I do, and I'd do it for you if I had any time these days. Maybe one day I'll get around to it.

Can somebody teach Schweinsteiger how to smile after he scores? That guy is an ugly unsympathetic mofo.....
