yeah, but Germany aren't going to be too bothered about doing them a favour

lol that Germany could still go out

got the radio on in the kitchen, ultra-patriotic Englishman Alan Green seems to really hate the Germans for some reason
― Mexès Coleslaw Massacre (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 13 June 2012 20:39 (eleven years ago) link
Is there anyone towards whom Green doesn't spew hatred?

Here in the States, I often like listening to foreign streams which I don't understand; the crowd noise is there and the urgency in the commentators voices clues me on to something if it's a dull match and I've dozed off.

yeah, even if you can get a "stadium noise only" option it's often weirdly lifeless. moaning about shitty commentary is one of the pleasures of slow passages of play tho.

There was that one commentator I liked - funny guy and not full of stats or cliches - but I never hear him anymore. English, methinks or Brit and maybe on gol.tv. Anybody?

Lawro turned into team building guru.
There is no I in TEAM!
Aw, didn't he actually say "there is no Arjen team"?. I thought he was making a funny!

When I'm streaming games at work, the sound is so low I can only make out the bass of the crowd anyway, so I mostly just go for the most reliable stream.

What probably hurts most is that after two appalling losses, we're still not out of the tournament. It's not fair. The misery is being prolonged in a masochistic way. Sneijder et al on telly still bloody saying "well we still have a chance!". Madness.

the weird thing is, it's not like the Netherlands only have a mathematical chance either, it more or less is in their own hands assuming Germany don't take the piss. and we know Germany never take the piss.

Not going to read all the comments you guys made up here, but assume you were all spot on:
- Horribly bad- Pace like senior citizens- Midfield took a day off- Lolland
It was just laughable, really.
