Football and other unimportant things

[diekahvi]

That's why I like the international football cups. You never really know who will turn out to be the top candidates for the finals. Like the last Euro Cup champions (Greece) not qualifying for the following World Cup. The Netherlands didn't qualify either but they qualified for the Euro Cup and are heading for the finals (France will have a hard time tonight). England was strong in the World Cup but didn't qualify for the Euro Cup. The World champions Italy did a very weak first game. Todays game against Romania was a real hard but mostly fair fight. But I have some doubts that they will reach the quater-finals. Last World Cups top teams France and Germany were dissapointing until now. I am curious how France will play tonight. We have to reach at least a draw against Austria on monday. I think a draw will be possible (the Austrians were surprisingly good yesterday). But then we will face Portugal in the quarter-finals ... and this will be the end. I doubt that we will have any chance against them :-(


Some fun quotes about and from football "Football is like chess, only without the dice"
They forgot the Satre quote: In football erverything complictes because of the presence of the opposing team. (Im Fussball verkompliziert sich alles durch die Anwesenheit der Gegenerischen Mannschaft.)
