Unreal. Balotelli looks like he might kill someone.

 

The 2nd half should be awesome.

[Exile on Waveland]

This is not going well.

This is the first time Germany has trailed at any point in Euro 2012, either qualifying or the tournament.

Spain-Germany will be a great final (Italy isnt winning)

 

Quoting this before someone else does.

If Italy plays this way who knows.

 

I would like to remind everyone of the US victory in Italy 2 months ago.

[Guest]

Miracle for Germany, please.

[UMFan83]

Well at least that got somewhat interesting for a minute or two.

 

Battle of the last 2 World Cup winners

[Mark Priors Calves]

I thought the Germans should have had time for one more chance.

[Guest]

Damn. I guess this is why they play the game.

[wolf stansson]

Remember when we beat Italy...in ITALY? That was fun. I give our boys 99% of the credit for the Italian success. Wake up call.

[USSoccer]

Hell of a game, this one was. Balotelli was ridiculous.

 

I really don't get why Germany looked like they were playing in quicksand. They looked like us in the Gold Cup last year. Kroos over Muller? Gomez is a straight donkey; Podolski looked incredibly meh, and I absolutely do not understand the Ozil love. He doesn't look like a particularly impressive playmaker.

 

Low dicked around too much and paid the price. Now we get to watch a Spain/Italy snoozefest on Sunday. I think a fully firing Germany was the only chance to beat the Art Project

The images aren't showing, but I'm guessing this is Beckham's hissy fit/fight with the SJ mascot?

 

He should have gotten a red for kicking the ball at the opponent when he was down, and a red for starting TWO fights after that.

[Guest]

Good guesses.

 

Wondolowski had a back heel goal off a corner in that game, I don't know if I've ever seen that before.

I have.

 

 

Gianfranco Zola vs. Norwich City in January, 2002. I was sitting six rows behind the net in the Matthew Harding Stand at Stamford Bridge. Clinched my love for footie.

Ronaldo did it a few years ago for Man U against some Premier League speedbump, too.

 

Mikey to Roma looks like a done deal.

[Guest]

Go Spain.

Yeah, that's what it was. Not sure why the GIFs aren't showing.

This will be the only time I'll ever support Italy.

[Guest]

Anyone else having technical problems with the game?

 

Oh, good. DirecTV technical problems on a sunny, clear day.

Let's not use words like "support". I'm simply rooting against Italy, not for anyone today.

Yeah, went out for a couple minutes for me also.

I think it was a national thing because it happened here in Chicago to on ESPN HD and SD (with Comcast)
