The Official European Football Thread

[Seshmeister]

European teams nearly always win it when it's in Europe.

Home advantage is huge, even England won it when they hosted it, look at Japan and Korea.

Also at every World Cup there are a couple of teams that noone expects to do well who suddenly start beating everyone like Cameroon or Senegal or Greece at Euro 2004.

There's a hell of a lot of luck invoved too. It wouldn't surprise me if Germany won it but if Holland get their shit together for once then they should be favourites.

I might even put some money on them...

You are a strange people...

Anyone seen the CL Final? Is that ref also on the World Cup?

[Wawazat]

I hope NOT.

he fucked up a great match with a wrong decision.

But anyway Barca made it.

Hats off to Frank

Rijkaard is a good coach for Barcelona

good way to ruin a good season, mr lehmann...

Today I am a devastated Gunner. The boys gave everything last night. The fact is this was the first European match that we have lost all season and Barca won it only after we were down to 10 men. It could have been a monumental final but was ruined by some of the most reprehensible refereeing I have seen. But nothing surprises me anymore.

Congratulations Barca but the best team did not win.

you sound a bit like brother jero singing the "but the dutch played the best football and would have deserved to win"-blues

what do expect from a referee team where one linesman (who was replaced) took a foto of his with a barca-shirt on?

If the Manschaft wins the World Cup, I shave all the hair off my body (safe the hair)... and I'll smoke it!
In case it happens - you never know with those lucky bastards, if you have a look in history... - I will post a film of the whole scene, I solemnly swear.

I will. I mean, I would.

No joke.

Mixed emotions i feel
