They should make the decide everyhing.

If Germany wins, Greece is slave to the Germans for like 20 years.
If Greece wins, Germany has to co-sign every Greek Bond for 20 years.

I suppose anything can happen in one game, but I just can't see any result other than something like 3-0 Germany.

I'm going to go ahead a card Greece for time wasting and otherwise boringly parking the bus from the opening whistle onwards. And if not for those offenses, then one more for simulation won't hurt them...

I'm looking forward to this game. I'm in braunschweig for one night before pissing off back to Australia, so this is my chance to get some german culture into me.

nah, that was in the first half. the goal was in the closing moments of the second half, so the ends had switched. at least that would be my defense of what seems to be a glaring error by monty python.

Overheard at the offices of PaddyPower.com:

"Hey, Paddy!"

"What is it, Mike?"

"I have a Mr. Samaras on the line who wants to put down $500 million Euros on
the German goalie suffering a blown out kneecap on his way to the pitch. Do I
take it?"

I'm going to tell you exactly how this will go down.

1. Germany is going to score early, in the first 15 minutes.
2. Greece will tie it in the 2nd half.
3. Greece will hit a post at some point in this game.
4. Greece will either score the winning goal with less than 5 minutes left, OT, or win in penalty kicks.

/book it like Karagounis

As an expat here in Leipzig, I have to say this soccer stuff is pretty cool. I mean I have to latch on to some sport fever somehow. My Spurs choked but at least my Giants won the big one. But watching those games at 2 in the morning without fellow football and basketball buddys around kinda sux. Lets hope Deutschland smacks Greece like Eli smacked Brady.

I'm glad my boss messed up and forgot to register me for a 3pm speaker panel on audit committees that I was supposed to cover today. I think the game will be a bit more entertaining than that.

In the meantime, enjoy Mats Hummels not giving a fark

Oh boy. I see an ugly game which the Germans take 1-0 on a late penalty, followed by a flurry of "Germany knocks Greece out of the Euro" submissions.

But the goalie was not wearing robes (which all the Greeks were), so I think they had it right.

/and he was offside by at least a yard.

Heh. They had that picture on German TV - and some of the meme-heavy photoshops that ensued.
Leonardo di Caprio is an obvious one.

"According to a story doing the rounds on Twitter on Sunday, a group of drunken German tourists refused to pay their bar bill in a club in Crete. Asked why not, they reportedly told the barman that it was the Greeks who owed them money."

According to my Greek friends, the mafia on Crete took care of the bill

Trocadero: Germany's gonna beat the Greeks like they owe them money.

More like the Greeks are going to be scrappy as hell just to stick it to Germany (Before Germany devastates their economy)

You have an entire country (Greece) focused on one match, and an indifferent Germany only in the quarter-finals of a tournament they are now favored to win

my suggestion for the game. following the team walk with the kids are a couple of guards with large ass pile of cash. do it like the world series of poker. place a large stack of euros and some bracelets on the side of field with the fourth official. winner takes all.

My kid does, because he is going for England and is under the illusion that they will win Euro this year.

Kid is more than half English, mostly thru his father's family
His Moms are German and German born, so we are going for Germany.

Makes for a strange household really, but that's modern Canada.

I'm trying to figure out how he is your kid if you aren't his mom (implied by saying "his mom") and you aren't his dad ("his father's")? Makes for an even more interesting household that he has multiple moms?

Step dad? If so, cool beans that you count him as your own :)
