The Turks are the new Greeks?

[Talkaldinho]

It's a pity that they're all suspended for the Germany match. The Croatians must be even more gutted than the Czechs.

[GrantG]

What a finish to a game though?

Fair play to Turkey - it aint over till the fat lady sings.

[Talkaldinho]

The Italians would have done much to learn from their example. Without a doubt, the worst of the quarterfinals.

talking about fat ladies singing: what ever came of stacy, andreas??

[England are out. Again.]

She was never fat, she was gorgeous, but, alas, was impervious to my charms. As for Turkey, spirited run, but  they'll be out in the semis.

Btw, Mike had no idea who Sneijder was. He just happens to play for Real Madrid. True story.

[Talkaldinho]

As for your love's labour's lost, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. (As for your charms, the less said, the better.) As for my knowledge of Real Madrid's lineup ... some of us were busy winning teaching awards this year. (And La Liga is pretty much not on my to-do list.) If he wrote books in the sixteenth century, I'd have him covered.

[dave lamport]

i'll bite mike.......what award did you win??? teacher with the most words spoken over the school year??

[Talkaldinho]

They might not have even gotten to the final, but they showed more heart and endeavour than the Greeks ever did!

[England are out. Again.]

Mike' spiritual team are the Netherlands, his style of talking reminds people of the Dutch obsession with ball possession and many short, slow passes that bore the audience to death. He just supports and watches British teams because he's monolingual.

[dave lamport]

does that include cruyff's team that played "total football"?

[GrantG]

Mike were you accepting the award for most ill-deserved and tainted domestic title win on behalf of Integrity FC as Ashland's resident supporter?

[England are out. Again.]

That does not include the 74 team, but it certainly includes 1990s Netherlands.

thanks for clarifying. btw, we need to hear how the russian prostitutes are doing.
