Live Blog of the European Grudge Match Second Half
Best Comment of Halftime. Julie Foudy, "the Italians are getting their balls in the seams."(I have nothing to add).
Hordes of Germans in the street and not even a beer hall putsch. (Too soon, but come on you were thinking it, they even had pictures of the reichstag).
Complete disconnect. Commercial for Emanski's back-to-back-to-back AAU baseball champs defensive drill video during the world cup. Really, Fred "Crime Dog" McGriff from the eighties during one of the most important soccer games in the world. You got be kidding me, Landon and DeMarcus don't have a video for soccer fundamentals. You can't tell me those two haven't been in a "coffee house" in Eidenhoven and come up with some whacked out business plan for a soccer video. (I mean how many times did O'Brien tells us those two were best friend during the U.S. games). Something like, no see what you do is run really fast down the side and hope McBride gets you the ball without having to add a titanium brain pan to go along with is tungsten cheek bones.
Second half is underway. Now seems a good time to mention that HD tv is amazing. You can see individual blades of grass.
So the Houseboy mentioned how the Germans have players of different sizes. I equate it to the old 8-bit nintendo hockey where you could pick the skinny-fast, medium, or the big slow. I would always put three big slow and one skinny fast and just knock the crap out of the other guys and cherry pick with speedy. (Shocking, I know).
49:38-Klose almost had a goal and the Italians countered quickly with a good shot except for that whole being offsides thing.
53:16- Italy corner right to Lehman. I have a feeling this is already going to end up being decided by PK's.
All right let's just get it out of the way, who cares that the Germcan coach got imported in American sports psychologist.
Dave O'Brien had another great bon-motte. "Since WWII the Germans have not been about displays of uber-nationalism." Just great. I can't even add anything to that comment. It really just speaks for itself.
59:12- Totti is crying again from someone grazing his face. I'll give that guy an elbow. Balboa has a great pronouciation of these names. Like he goes out of his way to show that he spent a lot of time in Europe, despite having only played in one version or another of the domestic league.
62:02- Podolski missed a great attempt. The Waiter (German Coach) assaults water bottle.
ESPN's score bar just let us know that Kobayashi won Nahan's hot dog eating contest again.
67:00- Podolski trips over his own feet, otherwise he would have a good shot.
69:37- Ninth time the offsides flag has gone up.
The houseboy has a successorie, if it wasn't for his HDTV I would make more of this then just going, "you have a successorie?"
71:30- Mad Dog Gattuso goes down with a cramp.
71:47- Schweinsteinger comes in for Borowski.
73:41- Gilardino in for Toni.
If you can't figure out which team made which substitution you have no business reading this blog.
77:20-An Italian player is down. At this point I am actually getting tired of this being said.
The Italian coach just looks like Someone's Dad.
80:36- Podolski might have just won a kick just outside of the box. Some Fabio (Should have been calling all the Italian players Fabio throughout, damn amateur mistake) tried to climb the ladder.
82:40 Odonnker in for Schneider. Odonnker called the super sub. Kind of like being the HR leader in minor league baseball. (No offense to Crash Davis).
84:39- Lehman just killed a Fabio in the box. Of course Perotta first looked fine and then acted hurt.
Odonnker(The Donker) is a freakishly fast man. Only accented by his red boots.
89:16-The Fabio with the top-knot gets a yellow for the scissor tackle.
The normal three minutes of stoppage time has been added.
Looks like we're going to OT.
The Houseboy keeps ordering a martini everytime the German coach is shown.
The Donker just swung one in, but no one was home on the inside.
YEP, OT it is. Oberon numero 3 coming up.
