Also, it's always fun to see a Portuguese team getting their arses kicked. 12 - 1.

True, true. It takes a bit of the glory off when it's done by a German team, but still.

Why do you hate America and the legacy of 1776?

In related news, AaB got a deserved ass-whooping by Manchester City last night.

So much for the "We're better than FCK, even if they are way ahead of us in the league"-bollocks.

Manchester City is presumeably MonkeyButts new favorite team, being well underway to having eliminated three Danish teams from European footie this year.

Yeah, it was a poor game. But hey, miracles do happens and all they need is a 2 - 0 win at home and then penalties. AND if it were to happen the entire population of northern Jylland would drink themselves to death and we'd be short of that problem.

Did I say I hate America and the legacy of 1776? No I didn't. Try not to read too much into one word posts.

So Denmark beat Malta in a boring game, now we can only hope that Sweden and Portugal draw. But perhaps Hungary is our biggest rival for the top spot?

Spain beat Turkey in a pretty boring match. The Turks kept the pressure up for over half the game. They had a couple nice shots. Spain was harmless.
But in the end they ran out of steam more or less when a strategy play finished on their net, and the passing machine grabbed ahold of the ball. From that moment on the Turks didn't get a chance to score.

[Liep]

So Denmark wins again. This time 3 - 0 over Albania who didn't put up much of a fight.

Fun fact: Our topscorer plays in the French 5th division.

[Iormlund]

Turkey 1 - Spain 2.
The Turks scored on their first opportunity, when Spain was playing best.
Spain scored on their first opportunity in the second half, when the Turks were playing best.

Then, fucking 85 minutes late, that fucking piece of shit Torres was finally replaced by Güiza, who promptly assisted Riera for the winning goal. Stupid coach.

USA plays T&T tonight hoping to make up for the embarassment that was the El Salvador game.

Embarrasment?  That was a glorious comeback!  Anyway at least the US kicked the crap out of Mexico...again.  It almost becoming a tradition now.

T&T shall go down.  We let them beat us in that meaningless match at the end of round three.

It's hardly fair that we have to take on Trinidad *and* Tobago at the same time.

This is true. It also makes for a really confusing game what with 33 players on the field.
