Yeah, definitely in agreement with you on both counts. Since Toronto got the Toronto FC in the MLS, I keep hearing "Canada's really starting to accept soccer as a big-budget sport" and "Expect to see an increase in all aspects of soccer broadcasting".

But no.

CBC airs the Toronto Fail Jays games instead of the Euro Cup. The only way I can watch it is in Italian, in low quality picture....And that channel doesn't even broadcast the games that matter the most!!! I don't have cable BTW. I don't watch anywhere near enough TV to justify it...

Go Deutschland!!!!

Bet Spain will kick the utalians out of the tournament...

But I´d like to get a revenge from the worlds....Germany Vs Italy in the final

T-bone · 06-22-2008, 01:39 PM

It's a cruel, cruel game.

What's going to happen in overtime?

MrMusashi · 06-22-2008, 05:15 PM

well the italians got it from the spaniards...

the penalty kick procedure is painful to watch! kinda takes away the spirit of the game.. the best team wins. but then again, im a (wannabe) musician, i really shouldnt like any sports

MrM

Petersonic · 06-23-2008, 08:15 AM

Nah, it's OK for a musician to like sports, as long as you suck at playing them...
So, it's safe to say Germany will make it to the finals, right? But will thay play Russia or Spain?

T-bone · 06-23-2008, 10:01 AM

You'd think with the height advantage Russia will take it. Then again, using that logic Spain should have lost long ago. Regardless, it will be a great game. I can't wait.

MrMusashi · 06-25-2008, 03:47 PM

WOOHOO! Yeah! I was sitting in the car when I heard the score. Honked the horn a lot...so did a lot of other people...Everyone who didn't know what was going on looked pretty confused/angry!
