OT: Soccer thread

Holland the big choker again. The story never end, the division between whites and blacks continue for another competition...
Sad..
 
This tournament divides me.

My family's side is Italian, so i guess i root for Italy, but i also take a certain amount of joy in seeing the Thumbo Italiano, car flag, kappa pant crowd in misery, but whatever, so i root for them. Do i prefer Portugal to win ( an easier matchup to Belgium) and put aside my utter content for those people? No idea.

Maybe i should make it easier on myself and just laugh at England and make that my only emotion
 
Moderate rooting interest in Portugal just for fun reasons. But what a strike.

I think belgium will need more than one tho.

Moms side is Italian and I just can’t root for them. Fans are way too obnoxious. Hence the Danish love.

Footy commentators are the fucking best. I wish I could understand spanish at the speed the spanish commentators call the game at, the goal calls are flat out legendary sounding.
 
British announcers are indeed boss but I have a few quibbles

some of them still rely on WWII metaphors (there is no surrender in France today) Give it a fucking rest.

they also overreact by a magnitude of 5000% when a team scores an equalizer at the 70 min mark or later.... as if no team has ever tied the game at 1 before

“Agricultural clearance” is my favourite expression of all time when a clearly overwhelmed centre back desperately hoofed a ball into “Row Z”.
 
After all, it is the same culture that gave us Gordon Ramsey who reacts in the same over the top manner every single time some poor sap overcooks the risotto
