Holy fuck.
What an embarrassment!
Superb for Iceland.

So who's up for an Iceland vs Wales final?![]()
Keep on keepin' the beat alive!
Depends on whether we finally end this cursed streak against the Italians.
When the stars threw down their spears
And watered heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the lamb make thee?
Karma from the 5th century.![]()

Forza Azzurri( + BuffonGod

Keep on keepin' the beat alive!

Is it me or do teams just stop trying to score once they tie the game in the second half? Does everyone think they're better than 50/50 at penalties?
Hope is the denial of reality
You didn't see Wales, France, Switzerland? All of them tried to score in the second half even after reaching the tie.

I guess the other sides turtled.![]()

Erm, France and Wales scored.![]()

And all the games that went to penalties, which seem to increase in frequency the further along you go in the tournament?
Hope is the denial of reality
I have some doubts about this game going to the penalties.

So does the transitive property apply in soccer? Because I think France is destroying England for Brexit.![]()
Hope is the denial of reality
As much as I like the idea the answer is no. You often get A>B>C>A situations in football.

I guess English fans can pretend they have a world-class soccer team in 2018 then.![]()
Hope is the denial of reality
If they qualify.
"Wer Visionen hat, sollte zum Arzt gehen." - Helmut Schmidt
They always qualify. In fact, they usually win their group. That's probably part of the reason they're always overconfident.
Hope is the denial of reality
They didn't qualify 2008.![]()
"Wer Visionen hat, sollte zum Arzt gehen." - Helmut Schmidt
The Netherlands also 'always' qualifies and usually as group winner.. Which was Iceland this time![]()
Keep on keepin' the beat alive!
The same Portugal that couldn't beat Iceland is now in the finals.![]()
Hope is the denial of reality
First you lose the Alsace then you lose the semis.
"Wer Visionen hat, sollte zum Arzt gehen." - Helmut Schmidt
Yeah, that was a bit ironic. And not entirely expected. However, given that I am in love with Ronaldo I think this goes in the column good news.
Congratulations America
A half-Alsatian/half-Portuguese who had to ply his trade in Spain because no top division French team wanted to sign him. I guess it's karma for Germany repeatedly beating Poland with ethnic Polish players.![]()
