Well done Jon, but my prediction only half came true. The final was supposed to be England vs. France.

The final was supposed to be England vs. France.

That's what I thought it would be too, assuming something hasn't gone wrong before then.

It looks like all the hype is working.

And now for the hard part.

Here's a photo-riddle. It belongs in this thread though, due to being about Euro2024.

What does it mean?

No, it's not. You were handed the final on a golden tray: Slovakia, Switzerland and the Netherlands - really? Not a single decent team on your way to the final. This is beyond ridiculous.

Luckily, Spain will show the world exactly what your bunch of primaballerinas is worth. My prediction: Spain - England 5:0.

My prediction: Spain - England 5:0.

Whats the full time result?

Torq
11 Jul 2024  #577

We will have to wait until Sunday to know that, but it's most likely going to be close to my prediction.

Boo hoo hoo.

Yeah, that's exactly what you'll be doing on Sunday - crying, because Spain will own you.

We'll see...

I've forgotten so perhaps you could remind us all; where did Poland come in the rankings this time?

Do you want to suggest your team is as crapy as Poland's is?

Torq
11 Jul 2024  #583

Poland

... has a mediocre team. It's not out sport. We have volleyball and speedway as our national sports.

Besides, bloody English moneybags are destroying football, offering ridiculous wages to players and draining talent from poorer leagues, making it nearly impossible for nations with poorer leagues to have strong NTs. As a good socialist you should realise that you support fat capitalist pigs. A bit inconsistent on your part, isn't it?

Oh, I see - normally capitalists are bad, but when they pump obscene amounts of money into your football, they're great. Pathetic. Marx would be ashamed of you, Jon.

Interesting....english ex-player Gary Neville says the ref penalty decision was WRONG.....that was never penalty worthy!!!!

England legend rants against Kane penalty:

"A scandalous decision"

www-bild-de.translate.goog/sport/fussball/em-2024-england-legende-wettert-elfer-skandaloese-entscheidung-668f6aabd3528a595737417f?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp

Neville then said on English television ITV: "As a defender, it is an absolute disgrace (the penalty decision; editor's note). A scandalous decision. That such a penalty is awarded against me, no matter when, and certainly not in such an important game. Of course he goes in and tries to block the shot. That is never a penalty."

He is not alone in this opinion. His former England colleague Jamie Carragher (46) also spoke out against the decision. Immediately after the decision, he wrote on X (formerly Twitter): "That was never a penalty." He also posted two laughing emoticons.

Interesting: Zwayer originally would not have given the penalty at all, and did not initially decide that it was a foul. Only after the VAR intervened and he looked at the video images himself did Zwayer point to the spot.


---------

Zwayer shouldn't ref such important games anymore....I wonder who will be the ref for the sunday finale?

There had already been a lot of discussion about Zwayer before the match - because of his history with Jude Bellingham. The former BVB star had indirectly accused the referee of bribery three years ago after a 2:3 home defeat in the Bundesliga against Bayern. Bellingham was then forced to pay a fine of 40,000 euros. This decision should now make the "Three Lions" very happy.

Yeah, right, I believe you. Thousands wouldn't......

bloody English moneybags are destroying football, offering ridiculous wages to players and draining talent from poorer leagues, making it nearly impossible for nations with poorer leagues to have strong NTs.

There's capitalism for you. Good to see you've realised its inherent immorality...

Marx

Predicted it all, of course: headstuff.org/culture/history/history-entertainment/how-premiership-football-fulfils-karl-marxs-prophecies/

"football occupies the prime position among sporting games in the world. Soccer is much more than a game - It is the only resort of a poor man, the only outlet that a worker can look forward to. It erases the discrimination between the Black and the White"
Karl Marx

Torq
11 Jul 2024  #586

Yeah, right...

Yeah, exactly right. Polish speedway is the best in the world and our volleyball men's national team is top of the world rankings. So there.

There's capitalism for you.

I'm only surprised that you seem to salivate about the immoral capitalist-conservative football. Strange.

It is the only resort of a poor man

Not anymore, it isn't. In the 70s and maybe 80s there was still some of the old football ethos left. These days it's a fat stinking moneyball for fat stinking capitalist pigs. I'm surprised you even follow this capitalist monstrosity; you of all people, Jon - tsk, tsk.

sunday finale?

Will there be a match for 3rd place earlier?

jon357
11 Jul 2024  #588

Yes.
seem to salivate

Or just enjoy that team winning matches. And y'know what? They won last night....

At least the Polish team could return by road, early on in the tournament. Saves on plane fares (and hotel bills).

Polish speedway is the best in the world and our volleyball men's national team is top of the world rankings. So there.

What even are those sports? It would be better still if they took up a sport that nobody else plays, like Ireland with those brushes and the ice.

Not anymore, it isn't.

He wrote it over a century and a half ago. It's still to an extent true. Regardless of the finances it is still a distraction for the poor; look at Legia fans, a team that generates more graffiti than victories. Not quite the opiate of the masses however now most people in Europe have ditched religions, TV and film have that role.

Volleyball is a noble olympic sport and speedway is the most suited sport for brave men. Much better than moneyball with its diving primadonnas and troglodyte hooligans.

it is still a distraction for the poor

Opiate of the masses indeed, alongside anti-culture promoted by TV and film. You know what, I am glad we are having this conversation; it made me realise how utterly contemptible moneyball (aka football) is. I'm through with it. Collosal waste of time and morally doubtful. Football doesn't exist for me starting from: 3... 2... 1... now.

And the fans actually have fun at the games and not just look for excuse to fight!

Ummm....no.....since 1980 not anymore!

moneyball

I don't know what that is but the name sounds good.

Edit, after reading the rest I see what you mean. The name's good though; so some should make a sport called that. Assuming the name isn't copyrighted by some turd already.
alongside anti-culture promoted by TV and film

All culture is culture, high and low. And so much of it placates people into a delusional existence where they both worship money and fail to u def stand how much people are making off them, not only 'investors' creaming some of the money earned by their job but also other 'investors' persuading them to part with their money (and/or into expensive debt with other 'investors') to buy overpriced trash made by people in China or India who are even more exploited than them.

*abandons football forever*

They have a good system in Germany where the clubs can't be bought or sold.

Go Italy! If not, Go Germany (wearing proper unis).

Go what? hahahha , what players do Italians have? No player stands out, its a shitt team now, spierdalano italiano. What players do Germs have apart from the I can't stretch my hallux feet too far goalkeeper? 2 shitt teams that are fuelled only by leftover egos. England has mad players , acrobatic and attitude excellent, they keep going to the end, and Keen , the boring old fuk is still tallented. And France has all stars on Its team headed by Griezmann. Thats why these teams are now in the final playoffs. Wait a minute, Germans are still there in the finals , my bad

First is your ugly granpa bewildered that you watch football, let alone euro, second is you happy after making comment nr 20000 about euro, third is your fantasy of caressing testicles that resemble football heads , 4th is a trick pic that has nothng to do with euro. What is the riddle? I bet it is something stupid. These riddles are too faking difficult, what sort of a stupid riddle is that?

We've got the referee for the sunday finale: It's the french Francois Letexier!

Interesting.....

....Since April 9, Letexier can consider himself an internet celebrity. After all, the scene in the spectacular quarter-final first leg of the Champions League between Real Madrid and Manchester City (3:3), in which City striker star Erling Haaland (23) was accidentally slapped by the French referee, became a wildly clicked hit on the web.

Actually, Letexier only wanted to explain a decision to the angry Spaniard Dani Carvajal (32) with lots of gestures and flying arms, when Haaland, who was coming up from behind, received a slap in the face from the referee as he passed by - and looked quite astonished....


The weather forecast for sunday evening/night in Berlin looks good too.....no more than dry 25°....a nice warm summer evening for player and fans! :)

What a sore loser!

I think Spain will win, because they have a better team.

But this is football.....the underdogs can win sometimes.
