Soccer anybody?

i know it's not that big over in the states, although people tell me it's gaining popularity. anyway, european championships are on and germany just won the semi finals against turkey an hour ago. everybodys going totally crazy now. turks and germans, cos we have a huge turkish community in hamburg. the whole city is full of honking cars with flags, people partying in the streets, absolut mayhem!

Ever seen the movie green street hooligans?

I prefer playing it to watching it personally...

I love playing it too

Fo Sho +1

i both watch, play and also play it on video games LOL, very exciting sport, at any time the game could change.

i played a bit as a kid, never got into watching. but that changed when my girlfriend got soccer-crazy during the 2006 world championships.
an m-ten: i know the movie, great flic. the brits are even crazier than the germans about soccer, but we have that hooligan scene here in germany, too. the areas around the stadiums become war zones, it's crazy!

First congrats to the finals! Its a good thing that the german won yesterday, because we have alot of turks around and they would be honking all night long... :uzi:

I just got into soccer playing a bit. We were playing vs. the german team on saturday in St.Jakob-Park in Basel before the 1/4-Finals.

Spain Vs Russia.

Got money on Spain.

neat, must be pretty crowded in switzerland at the moment. are you swiss or do you just happen to be there?

and yes, honking was the main theme last night, the turks here where in a sort of win/win situation and the germans where going wild too, for obvious reasons. we went out too after the game. broke the horn on my girlfriends explorer after 5 minutes, switched cars and continued. always have a spare horn with a car attached to it...

yaeh, i know what you mean. my perception of europe is also still pretty oldschool... (:greece: greece aaand... cut. welcome to asia.)

The best thing about soccer is the riots and the stadiums collapsing in the third world countries. That and the soccer mom MILFS.
