Euro cup. So what do the Germans really think.

[AndyPK]

. They enjoyed watching but their main sport is Handball. It could have been such a different afternoon parked here .

I thought that’s what they were complaining that our ladies did…..?!?

 

[G-RMPS]

In 1966 in Scotland everyone I was with wanted Germany to win. I think there was less of that this time around

Don't mention the war

Nice of the Dutch to get us into shape though . . . Guess there'll be a few gongs handed out and the team will be BBC SPOTY and, fantastic though it is, all they've won is the Euros. Once they've won a couple more (World Cup next?) without massive home advantage, then we can see what they're really made of.

What a measly posting!

The German planning and ideology was warped and they extended themselves too far, not for the first time…

I suspect zee Germans will have to get used to it

VAR said no penalty.

Am I the only viewer who felt that the German girls were playing dirty during the second half and extra time, intentionally clattering the Lionesses especially our goalie?

No, I agree with you on that.
Very typical German tactics in both the Mens, and now it would seem, the Ladies.
So glad our Ladies rose above it, and did what exactly was needed to be done……
Scored more goals!

We dished it out back and would not be intimidated. The totally legal timewasting near the end was priceless - the expression on the German faces. Bulldogs licking piss off a nettle - nothing they could do

Reminded of that old tale of village footy.

Two teams of slightly overweight blokes puffing their way round a pitch. The Tolcaster Rovers were defending, when the St Mary's midfield misplace a pass. The Tolcaster striker belts forward, rounds the first defender, nutmegs the keeper and then saw his blistering shot deflected by the outstretched hand of the last St Mary's defender.

"Penalty!" howl Tolcaster and the entire home crowd. "Red card!"

"Ball to hand!" shouts the ref, "Play on."

Furious, Tolcaster play on.

At half time, the Tolcaster striker rounds on the Referee. "That was the most blatant handball I've ever seen."

"Not at all. Clear ball to hand." replies the Ref, smugly. "If you don't believe me, look in the Tolcaster Gazette next week."

"No, you look. I'm the editor."

Exactly what the Germans do when winning or drawing so close to the end.
Been doing it for years.

The frustration of the German players when the clock was ticking down and the Lionesses were playing tippy tappy on the corner post was palpable. That would have no doubt helped fan the ire of their gutter press - certainly had me chuckling.

Yes, it was a masterclass with a small dose of schadenfreude

They interviewed the English captain before the game. She was asked if she thought the Germans would be physical. She said yes and smiled. Looked like "bring it on".
I loved the way England played.

I reckon the note said “Remember when showering, to take a long time and enjoy the heat. There are no hot showers at home.”

The hand written note said ‘ IT’S COMING HOME’ ………..mind games

No,

“es geht nach hause”


(It’s going home).

 

[MitchandJenny]

Not a pen. Ref says 'not, var says 'not. End of!
And what about our goal disallowed in 2010 against Germany? Ball crossed the line by clear margin but mustn't harbour grudges, eh? But don't get me started on Marabloodydona and his 'hand of god'!

Brilliant rant
Love it.
