A bit late today, but it's on. Also, I just got myself a beer and wondered if we had a thread. Saw we didn't, fixed it.

Smooth guys.

Small European countries should always be up for grabs in matches like this.

And their colonized islands.

Out of bounds ball, kick it to the field, kick out of bounds again. BRILLIANT!

If Argentina beats England in the World Cup, they fet the Falklands

Horay, no moar troll thread!

Norfolking Chance: Can i be the first to say NIAC

He was the only Frenchman who wasn't singing La Marsaillese. The whole of Spain wasn't singing either. I like it when teams sing their national anthems with pride.

vamos Espana!

OK, somebody explain to me why the French left side on defense never seems to have a defender there. Spain has put several crosses from that area with wide open players.

I just can't bring myself to root for France.

/unless they're playing Italy

Wouldn't mind seeing Les Bleus get past this Spanish team, but really only care about tomorrow.

FORZA AZZURRI

Damn....nicely done.

GOALLL!
VALENCIA alba!

Beautiful. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLL!

THAT was a thing of beauty!

This is not my shocked face.

Gorgeous goal.

Beautiful play.

Got back just in time! Made a beerrun and saw the build-up and the goal. Nice!

Thanks, freak.

Damnit, step away for 2 minutes and miss a goal.

France surrenders the first goal

/obligatory. Especially since the goalie is wearing all yellow

Man, that's beautiful football.

This could be a blowout.

Dammit, missed the goal. Go France!

jordie Alba just ran right past the french defender, and set a great pass to Alonso

Meh, it's not like that will hurt them against a team like Spa OH SHI--

That was very nice.

That was a sweet goal

/HERE COMES THE SPAIN!!!

I root for both France and Spain, but want the latter to win, not least because I want to see the farking Portuguese lose - and Spain is just the team to do it.

Lord Jubjub: OK, somebody explain to me why the French left side on defense never seems to have a defender there. Spain has put several crosses from that area with wide open players.

I've been asking myself the same question. Spain is advancing mostly on center-left. Maybe the overload is to defend against the perceived greater threat on that side. I follow the game closely enough to know the teams' personnel.

Field Goal

That free kick wasn't quite as beautiful as Spain's goal.

Spain looks like the only team that can stop Germany. Do not want to see a blowout in the final, but if anyone else besides Spain gets there against Germany, then it probably will be.

Correction: I DON'T follow the game closely enough to know the teams' personnel.

Damn, it's nice to have a really fast internet connection and a big TV to stream the game on.

Damn. Yellow card for that?

Wow, nice shot.

Iffy yellow card. definite penalty. and the free kick. . . .

. . .goes for a corner.

Herman Borrach: Damn. Yellow card for that?

Textbook 'accidental' block from someone who's otherwise beaten. Yellow is correct.

I see that the French defender on the left side is playing a bit more aggressive. Might be a bit late for that now.

Spain needs more free kicks outside the penalty area so that Nasri can block them with his face.

there is plenty of time left

Langston: Spain needs more free kicks outside the penalty area so that Nasri can block them with his face.

Spain will have to miss kick that pretty badly for that to happen.

well .....

That was so close

sephjnr: Herman Borrach: Damn. Yellow card for that?

He was the last defender? Yeah, still pretty weak contact, though.

ripped shirt=grabbed shirt
good jorb Espana!

Plus, the winner gets to keep Andorra.

Can I pluck their antennae off if I don't want them?
