Never gets old. :laugh:

I just noticed no Gattuso on Italy's squad. I'm guessing he's done w/ international play?
There really aren't many players left on Italy's squad from their 2006 WC team, or even their 2010 WC team. A lot of youth on the team this time around. Also, they are once again going through a scandal through Serie A. Last time there was a match fixing scandal, the Italians won a high profile event lol.

I have deep Irish and German roots. I rooted for Germany in 2008, but my Irish roots are much cooler/deeper so I'm rolling with Ireland the entire way.

Times like these, I miss Rock. Dude was a nutjob, but he provided some classic meltdowns.

Seriously though, I'm debating skipping class tomorrow. The games aren't the best of the tourney, but I'm so freaking pumped.

Meh, it's not like the German's have a hostile history against people who commit treason or anything.

Sadly I have to work this entire weekend, but I'm off the next 4 weekends after and only work 2 days next week. I should be able to catch quite a few matches.

App doesn't work with our area cable provider... At least on last glance.

ESPN3 works just fine. Won't be able to watch while at work though.. Something about it creating mistakes with patients medications or some shit...

I was BS'n with my coworker today...basically asking how crazy it was after they won. They hosted the Olympics that year, the Euro was in Portugal.

Regardless, he said it was insane....people getting nuts partying in the streets. He said he didn't think people went to work for a week after they won the final. :laugh:

That's right not sure why I thought it was in Greece. Not surprised people didn't go to work though. Just one of many reasons why that country is going to the shitter.

England/France on Monday should be good. I'm sure both teams feel like they have a lot to prove.

Going to drink beer and hope for good games. Turkey not qualifying took any personal rooting interest away for me. I just want to see an entertaining tourney.

That's where I'm at minus the Turkey part.

Love that it's on ESPN. ESPN3 kept me from needing to get a DVR for this shit. Throw in a US WC qualifier, and tomorrow is going to be a solid soccer day. And then Saturday will be even better.
