EURO 2016

[Witt]

Arse. It is sinking in that we just lost, after being the better side (in the second half, at least).
Cannot believe we lost to Germany. We could have gone all the way.
Bloody awful penalties.

@aequitas:

Hey Panther, sounds like your a Germany fan.

Sure, I am from Germany! :-)

Noch besser!
Even better!

Die Mannschaft will now go all the way.
The fifth star is now in reach!

[Witt]

I do hope you win. You have been the best side. Fingers crossed!

@P@nther:

Yesss… Germany finally managed to win against Italy in an important tournament…

… but what a game, feeling 20 years older now…

Full respect to Italy… great team, great fighters, great sportsmen…

What a pity that this has not been the final.  :-)

First win ever in an important tournament, but still not in regular time, even in extra time  :D

So, Italy will still stay a black cat for die Manschaft, but Germany can be happy with a historical win :)

@wittmann:

Awful penalties. 6/10 missed.
Wad outs to win, attest you missed 3.

When U shoot against Neuer or Buffon, U try to hit the corner of the goal, and then U miss  :-D

[Amon-Sul]

I cheer for Iceland tonight, go Vikings  8-)

[Witt]

Buffon was close to two (or three) of the Gernan goals. I thought it would be about the keepers: both are huge men and the best there is. Still can’t get over how many misses there were though. Although, I hear your point Amon Sul.
Definitely cheering on Iceland tonight.

Correct, but without Boateng’s penalty gift in the second period it would most likely have been over after 90 minutes…

Neuer is - except penalties - still undefeated :-)

Now I’m looking forward to see the Iceland-Vikings  :-)

[Private-Panic]

England could and would have beaten either of them! :-P

[Witt]

Of course they would. Just needed to change the manager and most of the team. And not go to penalties!
Iceland will go and win it, then you won’t look so bad.

[Private-Panic]

Interesting though that the England Rugby coach has taken the same players (pretty much) as his predecessor and turned a losing team into the one that just whitewashed Australia in Australia, as had never been done before. What exactly did he do to achieve that? Beats me!

[Witt]

Is funny; I agree. Must be a lot to do with confidence in the leadership and the manager’s ability to inspire confidence and lift morale.
I was sad that it took a non Englishman to do it though. I would be so upset, if Italy’s football manager was ever non Italian.

[Panther]

Good bye, Iceland… France with 4:0 in the lead after the first period…  :-o

5:2 in the end.

All in all a great performance from Iceland. Thank you, Iceland! :-)

[Amon-Sul]

Iceland can be proud :)

Wales still in.

But I think we will see Ronaldo against Neuer in the finals  :-)

This is how Icelanders supported their Team.

Wow!!

Wow!!

Great people!

When the team performed that with their fans in the stadium after the games, it reminded me of the pre-game performance of the NZ rugby team.

[Panther]

So Portugal is the first finalist…

… at least they managed to win their first game during regular game time.

[Amon-Sul]

I expect a great game tomorrow. And a German victory of course :)

[Panther]

Well, two individual mistakes decided that game.

Alors, bonne chance la France!

[aequitas-et-veritas]

No shame!
Germany played a very good euro-championship.

Congrats to France, go get the Trophy!!

Griezmann played like a Champion.
