So I’ll use the Internet and the lack of other things to do while waiting for SP3 to install and I’ll share some implessions form the Euro08. We didn’t win… if somebody didn’t catch that
But at least we’ve got second! And that’s great! And all thanks to my fancy Lahm-jersey I bought (for fucking 90 Euros!!!!)
Before the championship started, Marina made a post on her blog about the favourite teams of most of us. None of the other teams made it as far as Germany
Although there were some Spain fans, they were all like “uhm, I like Spain, but they play crap, so Italy/Portugal will win”. And yeah - that does not count!
I was responsible for the prize that all those would get that guessed the winner. Luckily no-one did, so I don’t have to bother about that now
Generally it was a great experience, as expected. Yet it was not as great as WorldCup06 and I don’t believe that I’ll ever experience something like that ever again. We watched all Germany games in one of the local movie theatres, except the game against Poland - we watched that in a pub. And the spirit was almost like on the stadium, everybody screaming and singing Deutschland … songs? (No idea how you call that stuff ^^). The only think that sucked was the critique about players like Gomez and Lahm. Poor Gomez - everybody was like “O-M-G - I could have scorred that”, but …. like…. uhm, no? And the same about Lahm (who still has not accepted my friend request on facebook :D) - “it’s his fault that the Turks scored the second goal”… BUT HE DID SCORE THE 3RD GOAL FOR GERMANY!!! And the goal by Torres - why was Lehmann out there? How could Lahm do something, without like killing Lehmann? ^^
When I get my Internets back, I’ll try to post some photos and videos!
Cheers!
