Man oh man I can't wait for this to start. Even though I won't be able to see games since the first ones start at midnight for me. Also, all of you picking France to do well in this tournament, i'll repeat what i said on the other thread iirc: you're all crazy. As much as I want to believe I still fully expect them to do something stupid, like maybe fight with each other on the pitch while the opposing team scores goals like there's no tomorrow. Or ben arfa menez and ribéry having an on-pitch contest to see who can keep the ball for longest without losing it/who will play the longest while refusing to pass the ball, ever.

this will be thrown off by some players being rlly cheap sub options so ppl can try and fit in ronny, rvi and ozil or whatever

i only managed to fit two of those three :'(. paul mcshane, you're seemingly no polanski.

Beautiful. I don't know why I always spend time designing the kit, I get nothing out of it. At least you can see it, unlike my carefully-selected avatar.

That's it, Muller has to start ahead of him
Mike Helms (via Facebook): Who would you like to swap places with, just for a day?
Götze: Justin Bieber. I mean there’s quite a lot of hype surrounding us players, but that’s small beer when you look at this guy. I’d just love to be in his shoes for a day, see what it’s like being on stage as a singer or actor.

What, is Müller not starting? I've a fantasy team depends on him.
― Ismael Klata, Friday, 8 June 2012 11:56 (eleven years ago) link
He'll be starting IK, don't worry.

Van Bommel OTM
When it was put to Van Bommel on Thursday that the chanting was a protest against Euro 2012 organisers, he said: "Open your ears. If you did hear it and don't want to hear it, that is even worse."

Muller's been a bit pony this year hasn't he? I'd worry about building a team around him.
― Matt DC, Friday, 8 June 2012 12:06 (eleven years ago) link
i thought he had been dropped more because he was criticizing heynckes and the other players than for playing poorly

Is that his expression upon hearing that Loew is considering Sven Bender at full-back?xpSo stoked for this btw. Looking forward to the Piszczek/Kuba right wing axis this afternoon. Oh good an opening ceremony, at least it isn't 4 hours long.

there are inflatable paddling pools on the pitch, which has been covered in a big tarpooling. and now they have organised people into a white six point star. could be an anti-jewish thing, commentary isn't letting on.
