UEFA Euro 2012 Poland-Ukraine: Germans Glowing with Anticipation

[Richard Hakluyt]

I was amazed at Italy's inability to score last night 

[Iormlund]

They seem to lack a finisher, which is unusual.

In any case, Germany has a fairly big advantage having rested two more days (and no extra time). And they are fairly young.
That alone should give them the edge, especially beyond the 60th min.

[Zanza]

You think any of the German forwards would have missed the chances Baliotelli did last night?

Aren't you aware of the reputation Gomez had in the English press before this tournament?

[DGuller]

It's not that clear but in this pic you can just make out an English fan trying to distract Italy's final shooter by pulling his pants down. He's wearing green shirt, behind goal, no pants:

That's false advertising, you can't see anything there.

Nice semifinal coming up this evening, Ronaldo vs. Spain. 

Useless statistics: Portugal's better scoring first then try to preserve the lead, because the last time Spain lost a game after scoring first was in 2006

I am looking forward to see annoying Ronaldo humbled by round-passing Spaniards. Seeing him run around in circles chasing the ball will be hillarious.

I am also looking forward to see if the Germans manage a good performance against a team which actually has the means to put up a meaningful opposition.

The last time Spain conceded in the knock out stages was in 2006

It's strange. I used to follow all the big tournaments since 1984 extensively, watching all the coverage, reading articles etc. However, this year the tournament is leaving me oddly empty and unaffected.

[Gups]

I think its been a great tournament, possibly the best major one since USA 1994. Refereeing standards have been superb, players have been noticably less whiney than usual and the quality of the play has been generally very good with contrasting styles and tactics.

It's missing a really epic match though.

Already happened.

Wonderful gif.

[The Larch]

Wonderful gif.

Temper tantrum and everything.

Wonderful gif.

Temper tantrum and everything. 

Indeed, even if it's small and low quality you can't miss that tell-tale tantrum.

[HVC]

Tantrum aside that gif looped for 90 minutes is every god damn spain game

If Portugal can't beat them I hope Germany crushes them to the point of embarrassment. They deserve to be punished for the grave injustice they do to the game.
