wardlelatic Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 At the start of the tournament Austria hoped for visible support and a big hand, and it was not disappointed as even Austria’s finest made an appearance and one went through the pain barrier but did not turn his back on the team. The beach football proves to be as popular as ever As the Austrian rearguard holds firm and the keeper shows fine form but, as always, the Germans insist on flaunting it.

Diego_Sideburns Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 Italy's Pirlo avoids the tears of a clown as a piss poor performance from the French means they’re going home where Les Bleus will be made to do many press-ups to put the gloss back into their game. Romania hoped that the Dutch would be only going through the motions tonight but, although they started to droop upfront, they still had enough to finish the job. So Romania are on their way home and the Dutch motor on to the quarter-final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 The Dutch have left the stadium and it‘s Day Twelve. The Swedes hope for a turnip for the books against the Russians. Spain is ready to drum the Greeks out of the tournament, Good to see that the Austrian girl has shaken off tubby Tintin. Obviously she bears no malice to the German and she is getting on well with the Russians. Probably the best prepared football bar staff in the world and probably the best way to carry five pints in plastic glasses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 More reflections on last night's games. Italy’s Cassano gets his tits out for the lads. Slag! An Italian bear with a sore head is relieved to still be in the tournament. The French coach chose a strange time to propose to his partner. Sad end for Romania but at least he didn’t get face-paint in his hair: Love is resting your clogs on your new bestist mate’s chest. It’s a fair cop keeping an eye on the fans.

Diego_Sideburns Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 (edited) It may only take two to start a conga, but the Russians had enough in reserve to lead Sweden a merry dance, and after a slow start the conga really got going. So it’s all smiles for Russia and disappointment for the Swedes, but one of the Croat boys is quick to console a dejected dancing queen. Ole! for the Spanish beauties Greece is the word for a slippery slide from reigning champions to wooden spoonist, as it joins others eliminated at this sage.

Diego_Sideburns Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 Day Thirteen and unlucky for one as we’ve reached the ‘It’s a Knockout’ stage of the tournament. First up is Portugal, whose Ronaldo seems to be behind Croatia, against Germany. Ronaldo's mind is firmly on the task in hand. In the beautiful game which one will be laughing on the other side of her face tonight? Meanwhile, the big boys put their heads together to find a way to beat little Croatia, where all is calm ahead of tomorrow’s game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 (edited) Wunderbarwoman comes to the rescue for Germany Schweinsteiger gets to score again tonight. Portugal were pants at set-piece defensive organisation. Big Phil consoles Ronaldo from the heart of his bottom. It was a cat-astrophic result for the Rocky Latic bulldog in the sweepstake!

Diego_Sideburns Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 Its Day Fourteen and the Portugal fans go home. Big Phil joins an illustrious line down the King’s Road and looks forward to one season’s work for three seasons’ pay, armed with a special watch for the big games bought from a rugged Scotsman, who was last seen pleading with Ronaldo. Croatia offers prayers for continued success at the shrine of St. Slaven, and the Turks enjoy the ride at Cech’s expense. This bloke seems to be forecasting 2-2 and a penalty shoot-out.

Diego_Sideburns Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 It’s a cool job being a headline writer. Do I blame the sloppy defending or is this Our Lady of Fatima statue losing its charm? The ‘best player in the world’ thinks about the season ahead - rotting in ManUre’s reserves with only the Manc Senior cup-tie at the famous BP to really look forward to. Harry Kewell my arse! You lucky Bastian!! Germany’s legendary ‘Goal-Man’ Uwe Seeler continues with his vow not to cut his hair or shave until Germany wins another trophy. “Achtung, achtung ve ’ave vays of bossing ze small teams into submission, but ve ’ope the Turks beat those bloody Croats!” You come with me to Chelski? You bring your bird? Don’t worry, it won’t be long before you get away from Manchester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 Anyone seen that Rocky Latic bloke who sold me this? Sod it, I’m going to support Spain! We’re on the march with Slaven’s Army! The calm before tonight’s storm. The Turks getting worked up already! Another sneak preview of the new away kit at a European fashion show.

Diego_Sideburns Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 More delight for the Turks, who never gave up. A bleak night for Croatia after appearing to snatch it in extra time against the run of play. Croat girls lose their heads like the players. who were pants at pens. Life can be a drag at times. It's good buy Croatia as the players make their way home the hard way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudemedic Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Fair play to Diego I was going to come on here and joke about how a band wagon painted in red and white checks had just spectaculary crashed when in the lead but he has taken defeat of his 'beloved' croats well. (Although I do notice the absence of a signature). Slaven Bilic doing his nut about the added time reminded me a lot of certain not well liked managers from Goven and Portugal. Next time Slaven don't go nuts with over celebrating wait until the game has ended and the ref won't just add on those extra seconds that proved costly. Also in all this hysteria and much Slaven loving does anyone remember when he took one of the worse dives in history and got a man banned from the world cup final, I guess not. Plus what do you reckon the odds of Fatih Terim managing in the Premiership are now as I'd think he'd be a very good candidate for anyone owned by Arab, or 'stan' millionaires.

I was working on the new signature. Surprisingly nobody had raised Slaven's past, but I love his enthusiasm - for anyone to be able to curtail it at a moment like that, he has to have no soul! His next challenge is to make sure his team qualifies for the 2010 World Cup......in England's Group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 Day Fifteen and the Dutch arrive in their old SELNEC bus and on wooden feet. The good news for Chris Taylor is that carrot tops are in this year. Diners are going Dutch and there’s a new range on offer at Specsavers. This is the stage when the lads get their girlfriends involved as the tournament moves towards a climax. Let’s get that flag pinned up - yet another idea for Markoasis. The Aeroflot pilot is grounded to watch his team. Scotland fans keep changing their allegiance and realise that they cannot use the “small country” excuse anymore after seeing Croatia take on the big boys successfully. Vienna’s sightseeing visitors are protected by a wind-breaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted June 21, 2008 Author Share Posted June 21, 2008 Croatia gets its just desserts. So near but we just couldn't get to the top of the slope! We're still firmly backing the team and the coach and at least we beat the Germans to prove that size doesn’t matter! It was good while it lasted, but all good things come to an end and we’ll be back when we play England in the World Cup qualifiers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego_Sideburns Posted June 21, 2008 Author Share Posted June 21, 2008 The new weather-protecting headgear for RRE fans underwent trials in tonight’s quarter-final tie but proved incapable of keeping dry the volunteer fan. Both sets of fans were up for it but it proved fatal for the Dutch to touch the trophy prematurely. So it’s hard cheese but this Russian likes the taste of it and wants more. God seems to have lost his touch as Dutch dreams disappear on the wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted June 21, 2008 Author Share Posted June 21, 2008 Day Sixteen as the Spanish confirm the ineffectiveness of the RRE weather protection equipment, and the Italians refuse to take part in the trial. Alan Hardy notes that Red Bull would go well with a drum in the RRE, and he concedes that sometimes the football is of a quality more suited to instruments other than a drum. Miss Italy wins the Thong for Europe contest, but the question is will Italy have enough up front? This filly is definitely a non-starter.

Diego_Sideburns Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 After last night’s codswallop the Dutch decide belatedly to protect the back post. Those fans who lost their shirts betting on Holland take a leap into the unknown. Meanwhile secret tests continue in Europe to establish how many fans in the RRE will get soaked, following demolition of the Broadway Stand. Another idea for Markoasis. When I were a lad we didn’t need flags to tell us to show respect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 Having this picture taken proved to be the most exciting part of the evening until the pens. Italian prayers fell on deaf ears as Spain rid itself of the curse of 22nd June. The defeated team wins the poseurs title, and what a shower they were when it came to taking pens! Dutch fans give their opinion on Italy’s performance. I know…..... I’ll support Spain next! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
