OT: Euro04

Why, England obviously. I mean, they won the Last World Cup and they have Wilkinson among other talented players, and... Oh, is that the wrong sport?

Nonetheless, I will put my marbles on England as usual, especially as their first game will be against France. If my innate ability of bringing bad luck to France still works, England will won the day , as there is nothing half as fun as such an outcome. there is actually something that would be better though ; what if England defeated France now, and then later on in the competition? That would imply a somewhat successful France, but the very thought of losing twice to England is very appealing to my wicked mind.

wow, what a highly dramatic game: France beats England 2-1. sorry England.

I'd like to see some headlines tomorrow from the English press concerning the goalie.

That was a painful experience. 89 minutes slowly becoming convinced that we would win, suddenly followed by catastrophe and stupidity.

I'm changing my favourite sport to cricket. It's a lot less stressful, and we actually win a few matches these days...

I watched the game and felt so bad for you guys in England. First the French goalie making the save on the penalty shot - and then that Last minute. Almost enough to start a riot.

England will get a 2nd chance - they should make the finals in 2nd place - good win for the french though bouncing back from the world cup disaster.

Indeed, my mood was Jubilant until these fateful few minutes, and I was almost relieved to see the match ending on a 1-0. Alas, while I wasn't watching, Zidane ruined the day and launched a riot run, destroying my happiness and getting me back to the Angry mood. (Which is, obviously, impossible under the current rules regarding happiness)

Speaking of which Oleg, we are fortunate that Zidane wasn't at his best according to your post.

Ah, if only we had known... *Sighs and seeks political asylum in England to avoid the derision*
