Euro 2016?
-
In Europe there is this sport called Football, it is played with people kicking a ball with their feet. The second biggest championship is happening!.
Is anyone paying attention. I know most here are fucking yanks ... but my home nations aren't being beaten down yet but the ubermensch (yet).

I expect the German's to win because they are German.

Maybe short for German's team?

TV in the break area; game is usually on, with or without (often with) anyone hanging around watching it. Yes, in the US.
Football - the game where all the instant replays are of players failing to do anything interesting.
-
@boomzilla It'd have to be "Germans' team" then.
-
@HardwareGeek Yeah it is called Yank Rugby now.
But I am talking about Football, where it is kicked with their feet ;-)
-
@pydsigner unless he was talking about a particular German.
-

Well, yeah, that is the topic of this thread. So am I - specifically, Euro 2016. Granted, most of the people who pay any attention to it are of non-US origin; at most, I'll pause long enough to see which countries are playing, realize it doesn't matter, and continue to my office.

Which German? @aliceif?
-
@HardwareGeek You mentioned the US where people call a game where they use their hands ... football ...
-
You mentioned the US
Yes, in the context of "even in the US, there are (a few) people who are interested in Euro 2016 (for some inexplicable reason)."

Everything else on TV is reruns this time of year.

@lucas1
We just kicked Sweden out ... next target: Hungary.
-
And we won all our games!
1 - 0 with Northern Ireland
1 - 0 with Ukraine
0 - 0 with Germany (yup, it's a win for us certainly, right @Rhywden, @asdf, @aliceif, @Kuro? Who's your daddy?):D

Don't remind me. What an awful game.
Yeah, did you see that ludicrous display last night?

I hate to break it to you, but that sentence doesn't work if there was no game whatsoever.
-
@asdf It works if there was some absurd comedy act on insteadβ¦

It might be, but the thing about Arsenal is, they always try and walk it in!
Seriously though, yup that match was hurtful to watch, but we got what we wanted and now we're playing Switzerland. So, the we won a game for the first time in Euro tournament this year, we've reached 1/8 and there's a real chance for us to reach the quarterfinals!
That's a good year. :)
-
All I know about it is most of the country being ecstatic because, apparently, the team can actually find the ball on the pitch this year, and are already predicting 1998 World Cup levels of success when we got a bronze medal.
Me, I'm trying to figure out a use for all the tears when this turns out not to be true...

I still remember the quarter final.
You're old, grandpa.

Why not? ^_^

@lucas1 Yeah, just the goalie though.

We just kicked Sweden out ... next target: Hungary.Watching you today, Red Devils! Wishing you luck, we could meet in the semi-finals. ;)

After the second goal someone guys decided to show off and make 2 more ...
Next target: Wales. I hope they are ready for their Brexit from Euro2016

ause they are German.
Looking at that starting 11, you really made it hard to get through to the next round, you are not playing as a team , personally, i would love to in form Germany and in form Belgium in the final

It's nice that the England team all got to have a lovely stroll around the pitch.
-
They wasted every chance in the Second half.
We didn't even lose to the old enemy, the Ubermensch.

They were only missing some tea and biscuits.
Do you think Rooney takes milk with his earl grey?

He probably thinks it's a person.

Seriously though, the final result is greatly unfair. Britain didn't deserve that goal.

Oops, got them mixed up again. It's Britain that's leaving the EU, it's England that got beaten. Silly me.

@kt_ I watched the match on German TV and the commentators did refer to England losing as Brexit.
-
@coldandtired The UK commentators did the same.
