btw, was anyone else surprised how poorly the euro hosts did this year?
they didnt make it very far, did they?

Learning Chinese is a real challenge for me but when I was in China, I met many foreigners who can speak Chinese so with motivation, I'm sure I will reach my goal ;D. I've already learnt Chinese during one year but it was 3 years ago. Because of my 3 month internship on the east coast of China, it strenghtened my idea of working with Chinese people, that's why I need to learn it.

And yeah OL has a good team but only against the France's team cause yeah in champion's league they doesn't do great results. So of course I'd like to see OL winning someday but it's really a team I don't like. I like some players, but together naaah !
Let's just say that there isn't any French team that make me dream, all my fav team are either English [Liverpool] , or Italian [Milan AC, Juve, Roma] and I also like the Real. But you see no french team...
btw what are your fav team ? {Club]

So we all speak at least 3 languages ? LOL

Its a pity there are not many great players as we can see in England or Spanish because its obvious that life is way better in France than in England but because of all the taxes, famous players are not attracted

Lôwrane · 07-03-2008, 05:24 PM

thxs for the new thread
and yes the hosts didn't make it far at all --'
Lisa ; yeah the taxes aren't attractive at all

I wanna Learn Spanish

Motoko Ayoama · 07-03-2008, 05:28 PM

Its a pity for Swizerland because afterwards its not the same to party if your team is out of the competition, that's why this Euro was particular for me. I did not really support France as we lost at the beginning but I really enjoyed watching this Euro

Lôwrane · 07-03-2008, 05:54 PM

yeah this euro was a great one to watch srsly
even if I had a malediction or something
so you see during the 1/4 of final in each game I have a preference for a team, haven't we all ? but the thing is , in the all 4 games the team I support more well they lost.
Portugal / Germany : Not a Germany fan so go Portugal --' 3-2 LOL
Croatia / Turkey : Same not a Turkey fan --' LOST
Holland / Russia : srsly after how well they played I wanted them to do great --' 3-1
And then there was THIS game, srsly I don't know how I did to watch it
Italy / Spain : I was srsly neutral, it'd have be nice that Italy won but I thought that Spain deserved it. And I said to my friends that the team winner will win the Euro =P and I was right. But srsly this game was hell to me. Like all the Italy/France; I'm always for Italy during those, well watching them with my friends isn't my brightest idea when Italy win LOL. I'll always remember the Final of the WC06. We were in the garden of a friend and when France scored everyone was yelling and joking and then Italy scored and I run in all her garden during 10 mins. And the 'tirs au but' srsly we were all quiet...then well Italy won and I was like SO HAPPY cause we did it, but also sad b/c of how Zizou ended his carreer and I was feeling bad for Trezeguet...but it didn't last I become all exited during the ' remise' of the cup [sorry it's late I lose my words LOL].

Motoko Ayoama · 07-03-2008, 06:52 PM

Germany vs Portugal: I did not care about none of the two so I just enjoyed watching the goals and cheering both teams.

Croatia vs Turkey: I will honsetly say I was for Croatia at the end so I was kinda disappointed for them, for what happened but it wasa crazy end of game.

Holland vs Russia: I was more cheering Holland but at the end Russia totally deserved to win.

Italy vs Spain: Spain all the way since the beginning of Euro

.

Dont speak about Italy/ France

. That was a sad game for me. France won the game but not the World Cup. eriously I think we deserved more to win on this game but I also think that none of the two teams deserved to win the cup. To tell you the thruth, I was watching the game in downtown with many of my friends and at the end I had to run away to my apartment because I was SO sad. I hated this moment, then I did not want to wake up anymore...

Touldengal · 07-03-2008, 07:04 PM

Germany vs Portugal: I wanted Germany to win the game because i didnt want portugal to win because i dislike Ronaldo THAT much.

Croatia vs Turkey: Definitely wanted Croatia to win.

Holland vs Russia: This was SO devastating. I am such a huge Holland fan and i agree with what you guys are saying, Russia DID play the better game and ultimately deserved to win this game, but all in all, no one can convince me that Russia is the better team.

Italy vs. Spain: I wanted Spain to win, hands down. My favorite person in Italy is Buffon and it broke my heart to see him lose the penalties, but at the end of the day, i was glad to see Spain win.

As for the France/Italy game in WC06' i couldn't agree more. I cheered for Italy, but France deserved that win. Without question, France played the better game. Maybe France didn't deserve to win compared to the better teams or whatever, but THAT game, France was the much better team and to this day, i will stand behind the statement that Buffon won Italy that cup in 2006 and that is why he gets so much of my respect. without him, the team wouldn't be half of what it is, IMO.

Lôwrane · 07-04-2008, 11:37 AM

I agree on this one Buffon make Italy won but not only him ; Captain Cannavaro did his job too

Motoko Ayoama · 07-04-2008, 11:41 AM

Cannavaro was the only Italian I liked.

Lôwrane · 07-04-2008, 11:52 AM

well I like most of the team
but there is some ARGH --'
Cassano --' Panucci --'
I was so sad that Cannavaro couldn't play during the Euro

sweet-honey · 07-04-2008, 11:59 AM

hey I think I'll just will post here now too

Anyway, I'm Chrissy

my quarter finals:

Germany vs Portugal: I was deffo cheering for my homeland, but I was so certain germany would lose. I'm so glad I didn't bet.

Croatia vs Turkey: Croatia all teh way, because I didn'tw ant Turkey_Germany.(In my area are too many Turks =P)

Holland vs Russia: Holland. I didn't watch teh game, becuase I was at a bonfire and my dad wrote me messages. I was like, no that can't be

Italy vs Spain: Spain, all the way. I just can't be pro Italy.

there isnt an Italian player that i dislike or anything, but i just feel like Buffon is the main reason they do so well... or do as well as they do.
I have nothing against the Italian team, i just prefer other ones.

Lôwrane · 07-04-2008, 02:24 PM

yeah I understand
but like its my fav team [with Spain] well it's normal that I don't like some of the players

Motoko Ayoama · 07-04-2008, 02:27 PM

and France????
