EEEEUUUUUW warm beer

Warm beer!? What a mingin' thought!!! It already tastes like piss enough without it being warm too....errrrggghhhhh.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" />

Can´t wait for him to be back. I am very curious. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Is it true that the Greek people are praising Otto Rehagel as their new hero ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

I read it in the newspaper. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Yeach Germany Holland tonight. Wich team will I support???

I guess Germany. If Holland can't even win frome thos crazy Belgians in an exibition match how could they beat Germany.

Go Manshaft bring on the blitzkrieg <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />

True. We always like to make heroes people who help us <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

do u think u might go & watch the next match, Luc? at the stadium? who knows, we might spot u on tv, wearing larian shirt or maybe deathknight's armour. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

yeah too bad, it's not in greece. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> otherwise spick won't be at the beach at all but in the stadium screaming like a little girl while watching england lose. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

i hope holland will win. not that i don't like germany (one of the best), just that i wish holland gets to be one of the best as well & not stuck to the history of 'total football'.

No Janggut I never go to stadiums. I prefer to sit in my sofa, naked legs up, serve some beer to my man who sits beside me, eat chips, drink wine and watch the game with him using bad language. Then go out in my balcony and see the fireworks (if we win that is)...

bad language?! oh my word ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

u're too kind, Luc. i would slap myself if i say something crude. but i cannot do that if i type! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

i hope greece will be the giant killer i hope for. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

by the way, what's the slogan for greece?

Ouzo here, Ouzo there, Ouzo everywhere! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

But I can be wrong, I am not from Greece...

I'm up for Greece...love seeing the underdog win! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

Janggut I don´t know the slogan but I think Lynn got it right!

I'm still undecided. I wonder whether I will watch it or miss it at all . <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

A Mannschaft is a team ; it comes from the German word Mann which means man, but gender-specific. It doesn't has a neutral form which could be used as "people" or "humankind" in general as it is possible in Englisch. For that neutral meaning, the German word "Mensch" would be used.

The Opposite of Mann is Frau, and of man it is woman. The word "FRau" is said to come from the word "frouwe" , which means "Herrin", a word similar to "Herr", which is a) a polite form of adressing a person , and b) a word like "master" (but for Master we have the word "Meister").

The Meister is who will win the game. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

So a Mannschaft is a team made up of men. But astonishing there if no "Frauschaft" common in German language. A german soccer team consisting entirely of women could be a "Frauschaft", but no-one says so. Maybe in several years it's common <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> , but not now.

About the "schaft" ending : You have something similar in English : The "ship" ending. Championschip, for example. Which would be Meisterschaft in German. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

The Blitzkrieg is seemingly a Nazi invention; it is never used in common language here - there is no need to. A blitz is a flash (flash & thunder, you know <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> ) and a Krieg is simply a War. It's fast, swift, and quickly, so to say. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
We don't use it for anything fast; if there was a fast war, we would possibly use that word to describe it, but somehow Nazi words are more or less "banned" in common German language. That's why I hate the expression "Grammar-Nazi" I've read several times at boards mainly visited by Americans.

HINT for germany. tackle everyone who gets in the penalty box. Chance are huge that they will miss the penalty. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />


What about a poll:
How many penalties will holland miss. My guess on the entire tournament is 5 penalties (witch is a low number since they missed 5 in one game once <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />)

BTW holland still has a trauma from the loss in 74. Now sadistical as I am I think it's fitting to rub a little salt in that wound.

My 1€ will be on Germany.


Blietzkrieg is a word I heard on tv to describe your footballplay. fast and with attack in mind not like Italian footbaal and their catanatio

@ Al thnx for the info <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

... but the only Blietzkrieg that I know is "Blietzkrieg pop" by Ramones. A very desent punk song if I may say so. I am glad that now I know what it means <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I am for Germany today too. I am not sure why. Erh... German players have relly nice legs

You're all full of crap. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

The actual 'warm' beer I drink is usually bitter. Somtimes guiness or whatever. The 'warm' part refers to the beer being served at around 10 deg C instead of 4.

The improvement in flavour is fantastic. If you don't believe me, you're drinking the wrong stuff. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Odd that you would take that view too plow... (being a leprachaun and all)

Warm beer just doesnt sound appetising...maybe warm bitter is nice, I don't know as I don't drink bitter! I'm not a true paddy as I don't like guinness!!!

And by the way...hands off me pot o' gold...yer always after me lucky charms!

Germany Holland 1-1

mixed feelings <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

well not too shabby for holland though it isn't spectacular also.

germans have nice legs, huh, Luc? have u checked out the other teams' hairy legs? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> don't let george know that u're watching legs & not the ball. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shhh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

Oh he knows that already! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" /> That is why he is still with me after 12 years... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
