Like confusing them with homo-erotic poses?

I stumbled upon them in a football forum

Instead, the Italian's get streakers in bikinis, does not bode well...

TWICE!

I remember Ronaldo was crying like a sissy. He is so sensitive

Hm? Greece is the current champion. I don't recall you laughed four years ago when they won.

When anyone predicts that they'll do well this time around, I laugh. If they actually happen to do well (qualify for the 1/4 finals), I'll cry. More than Ronaldo.

[Locutus]

Except for a sound thrashing by Turkey early on, Greece were *very* impressive during qualifying -- they played well and ended up with the best overall record of all teams (only one loss and one draw). So I wouldn't underestimate them. I'd definitely put them ahead of Sweden, so if either Spain or Russia disappoints (and there's plenty of reason to think at least one of them might) Greece could do quite well.

*Some predictions are intentionally optimistic so I don't have to cheer against teams I like.

That's the trouble with this game. I end up hoping for my prediction rather than the result or quality of football I actually want. :-|

Luckily, I usually don't have this problem in the semis and finals

Robben is out for at least 1 game, groin injury. No one is surprised.

[Maquiladora]

I like how they used a ton of fireworks in the day that you couldn't see, just looked like the stadium was on fire with all the smoke...

It looks like a serious injury.

Swiss were better. They just missed their chances. They had to score!
