This is why we can't have nice things.
I think that's all in your head to be honest. You would not say that if this had been any other national team similarily depicted. I don't see anything but happy germans and the implication that the entire nation is behind their team.

You mean Best Korean propaganda, surely.
Yes we are! Belgium VS Holland always fun
My favorite midfielder in Europe at the moment is Witsel, love how he plays. Looks like Mourinho has made it a priority to sign in for Madrid.
Seems Belgium is churning out some very high quality prospects these last few years, has there been some kind of revolution in how youth development is handled compared to other times?

Welp, it was created for a beer brewer and is being auctioned off for a South African charity: http://www.edufootball.org/home/

Here's their ad with the same narrative, aka. "everyone, get behind the national team while drinking our beer"

The Italian diving and the Vieri miss lost them the match. The only thing wrong with that tournament was Blatter's pandering to European countries' arrogant sense of superiority, Guus Hiddink had built a strong team who were playing in their home country and they deservedly reached the semi-finals with hard work and some real inventive football in open play.
Not really, we just got lucky with this generation. To bad they can't seem to play as a team and we have no decent striker. Most of our team is really good individually, but in the team they're shit. Might be the coach's fault though.
Yeah i know, just that my father is a big WW2 buff and has too many books occupying too much space, which i devoured when i was a kid.
The art style reminded me of
Anyways, sorry for what i said, was stupid of me
Oh god lol. Someone cthulhu-rise this please!
Nah, Lukas and Miro tell otherwise.
Oh come on...
I love old propaganda, I own half a dozen books on it, and that looks nothing like Nazi propaganda.
How is the art style similar to that?
They both have flags, like 75% of propaganda posters, I'll grant you that...

He was fishing and you bit. Those matches were plain robbery.
we don't know what went on behind the scenes so i wouldn't judge them too quickly.
however this certainly shows that there was 0 teamspirit
Really? For some reason it reminded me of this:

No I'll be behind Italy. They've played the most attractive football, in my opinion, and I'm a big fan of many of their players. I'd much rather see Italy flourish than watch a predictable Spain versus Germany final.

This time, we are the ones who bullfight
(translation to English meh, sounds better in Portuguese)
England gets bounced yet again, but I bet their EA Sports FIFA team rating is still a ridiculous 5+++++ stars.

Joking about what?
That Italy lost the match because Vieri missed two open goals? or that Italy found the extra time period difficult because Totti was sent off for diving? even though you could tell from the kick off the referee wasn't going to give anything for theatrics.
That was a quality world cup display by South Korea, some of the goals they scored were amazing especially the goal Park Ji Sung scored against Portugal, it was "C Ronaldo-esque".
South Korea were a strong side in the competition, but the usual suspects of the tournament complained when they didn't rollover and let them win.
Laughable.
Byron Moreno? Is that you?

It's so damn stupid that Bendtner has to pay 80.000 for showing his sponsored underwear and Crotia pays 15.000 less when their fans are singing racist shit.
You see where their priorities are...
True, sponsors are serious business. But is it just me or has there been more fines this year compared to the previous tournaments?

Portuguese fans are really psyched-up.

Gazzetta sucks, that goes without saying. Their half-assed apology was even worse, if possible.
Or very boring
edit: haha, just noticed I got a tag for FRA-SPA. Amazing.
It's sad how they tag for the negatives. All my philanthropic and charity work was brushed aside in order to make out I'm a paedophile. Goddamn sickening.
Looking forward to tomorrow, missing football too much for breaks.
Mods are as neutral as the FRA-SPA referee.
Just kidding, guys.
Wonder if I hit stage 1 at some point and just missed it.
See, I don't know. I would have expected tomorrow/s game to be quite fun, but given that I thought England-Italy would be a snooze-fest...
It's a shame we don't have a mod in FootyGAF, some posters (doicareWilbury said:

Ronaldo is now the 3rd highest scorer in Euro's with 6 goals. Platini is top with 9 and Shearer second on 7.
He's scored at 5 major tournaments and since October 2010 (start of qualifying) he has 10 goals in competitive internationals, more than anybody else in the world (Gomez - 9, Van Persie 7).
That's a pretty good record. Didn't think Ronaldo was doing as well as that for Portugal.

I dunno how others see it, but I think it’s more of an attempt of trying to depict Mario as the King, rather than Kong? Regardless though, it ‘s quite off the mark as he wasn’t the one running the show anyways. Football’s a team sport, and in the case of England vs. Italy, it’s more of the same old case of...
England are donkey shite!
^Still brings me to tears that song lol
John Dunbar
correct about everything
What counts as competitive internationals? Didn't Huntelaar score 12 goals for Netherlands in Euro qualification?
