That was the most absurd penalty shoot out that I can ever think of. All of those nerves, and whatever the eff Zaza was thinking. As it turns out I've located his heat map...

:wacko:
Really glad Germany won obviously. Italy or France (assuming they don't piss the bed) in the final would have been awful. I would have been all-in on pulling for the winner of Portugal/Wales in the final if that were the case.
Zaza best penalty kicker specialist ever, man of the century, MVP extraordinary :wacko:
(hope they do :PP)
^ How very kind of him :wacko:
Not sure who the good guys are today. Probably Iceland.
Frenchies are the only bad ones left ;DQuote:

He should've gotten her pregnant though. Half-siblings/cousins are the best.Quote:

Jack has a renewed interest in football :hello:
Tsk, that was a matter of goal average, minor thing. Ok, it was in Euros since 2000. Not the kind of thing I try to memorize :wacko:Quote:

Hard luck Wales. They will return home as heroes, and deservedly so.
Totally, heroes is what they are. Historic performance regardless of the result today. It's impressive what a group of people can do when they believe in what they are doing. I hope this gives them enough motivation to go even further and qualify for the final phase of the World Cup. That would be most awesome.Quote:

In other news, Messi was handed 21 month prison sentence for tax fraud today. Another kind of hero, I guess :rolleyes:
If you want to dodge taxes, do so in Spain apparently.
Congrats to Portugal.
