Football (Euro 2000 and more)

WOAWW! i can tell you: it WAS a brilliant game last night in dortmund! i never saw anything like that before!

liverpool seemed to control the game from the beginning but then alavés came back.
sadly the spanish club lost. they played brave and good football!

i guess this game is why i love football so much! full of suprising elements, emotions, fight, technic and at least GOALS!

wow, this was a game fans wish to see! no stupid tactic stuff just pure football!

 

I'd say there were two incorrect penalties. But still it was a good and exciting game.

 

ahhh!

i can´t understand why munich is playing so f~§%&$ well!

i can´t stand this team! i can´t stand the players and i can´t stand their fans!

i guess you didn´t see the interviews after they had won the german championsship last weekend. they don´t celebrate their victory, they just talking about the CL final and their full concentration on it.
i just can´t understand it: any other team would have going mad if they had won the national title. but the bavarians pretend that it is normal for them the win a cup.

for me as a north-german football freak, it was a horrible bad night. the biggest rival of my club werder bremen is so d%mn successful...

 

there will be better days for me as a fan of bremen... the saison in germany is over, the teams will have a pause and i can calm down.

So, i think the upcoming games are all international competitions, right?

 

I suppose so if you don't live in Sweden .

Yeah, the referee was not good. I agree that Kahn was good, especially one of the saves he did on the penalties.

 

Sigh... I didn't manage to watch both games... it's so frustrating... especially since I have the worst TV connection around...

I think the UEFA Cup final was really exciting (from what I saw from snippets of it), and Alaves really fought back really hard... what I think is really ironic is that Jordi Cryuff scored the equaliser yet in the end it was his father Johann Cryuff who gave the man-of-the-match award to Gary McAllister...

And I think Oliver Kahn really did a fantastic job with the penalties... I can't decide whether Francesco Toldo at Euro 2000 or Kahn in the final was better... But Mehmet Scholl's penalty was utter nonsense!

 

One year... and more since Brian Laudrup retired... sigh...

I read an article by a lecturer I know that Tore Andre Flo should go home instead of playing for "Huns' money" at Glasgow Rangers... I don't want to judge what he said, but it kind of bothered me... especially as he's a Norwegian...

 

I thought the Champions league final was something extraordinary, but the Swedish cup final was even more exciting. it took 11 penalties before the game was settled .

 

I get your idea, Obi Anne. I read about it in the Singapore news and it really amazed me! Kind of sad, though... when your shot is the one that decides it all...

 

Sigh. I knew it would come someday or other, but it's finally done. Teddy Sheringham, the Manchester United striker, rejoined his old club Tottenham Hotspur.

Sigh. Teddy was like the last Man U player there was for me to support them...

 

Sigh... I don't believe it, I was having a discussion with a maths lecturer (I'm only 14, not in University!) whom I know about whether footballers should be responsible for the actions of their fans...

Is it wrong for a footballer to play at a club which has caused the death of many supporters of other clubs? Is it wrong to be a Galatasaray or a Glasgow Rangers fan?

 

That's what I used to think. Now I don't know how much I dare to believe.

 

There will always be stupid people calling themselfs fans of something, but in reality they are only waitting to get in trouble.
It happens in everything, from religion to sports. You simply can't blame the clubs for somethign that a few dumb people do.


And a bit OOT now, 'm so mad at FIFA for what they did to Fernando Couto! He was suspended from all games including the Irland/Portugal (he was suposed to be able to play in that one) because of dopping tests being positive in Italy. However a Dutch player (I think) had the same problem and is still going to play for Holland! Talk about two measures...

 

I get your idea about Couto, anya, but the thing is that de Boer is also suspended and the reason why Davids isn't (yet) is coz the sample came later...

Although I do think it's quite sad, it doesn't seem likely that all 3 of them would do something so stupid...

About what I mentioned in my earlier post... I was thinking, was it wrong for the players of Glasgow Rangers to play for Rangers in earlier years when they didn't let Catholics play for the club... especially when it promoted such segregation and a lot of Celtic fans have been killed in recent years...

 

people say "football is religion". but they never mean the situation in the history in both clubs.

i am shamed that the clubs mix political trouble with sport.

 

What is SPOILER FREE ?

 

It means that you are spoiler free.

Well, it's the moto of all that frequent the Ep2&3 NS(Non-spoilers). Basicly, it means that you don't want to know much about what happens in Ep2&3 before they come out.

And about Couto: Three days before the game (Ireland/Portugal which is on right now), FIFA wrote a document or a letter saying that he could play in this game, but when the Portuguese team got to Ireland they were told that Couto wouldn't be able to play! (And the Italian federation still hasn't said what his punition will be...)

 

It's so ridiculous, FIFA is changing what they say technically on the spot!!!

Davids will be banned in due course... sigh... it's hard to have 3 people banned at the same time and to accept it just like that...

Life is definitely going to get worse for the Dutch team...

Obi Anne, I liked your point about why they don't speak out. Yes, I suppose you're right. Thanks for that... it kind of reassured me...

Anyone watched the world cup qualifiers yesterday? Denmark won the Czech Republic, I'm so happy!
