Well, France are doing exactly what I said Germany had a habit of doing. I am not expecting it to last though.
Jerome Boateng he's Ghanaian, his brother is Kevin-Prince Boateng who actually plays for Ghana.

Quite a fee of the German national side are not actually German!

French Payet had been very dangerous toward GER. He had to payet by getting his nose busted by fast football. It must have been doing 30mph, at the least!

Here we go. GER finished, end of.

Thing is, it's good to see the aliens win on the natives' soil. Anyone would have high morale on their own soil, with all the support and familiarity- wouldn't they.

They're admiring French resistance. Bollocks! It's African resistance for French cheats!

I think Portugal should win. Then I'd feel that our Wales lost against the best, so I'll have less regrets.

I think that GER have been a bit slack but quite unlucky as well in this match. I think this tournament on the whole has been the sh2ttest one for GER, of late. Their last match wasn't a great win for them either.

Germany are as good as our Wales for getting kicked out in the semi final now. That also makes me feel better about our loser but well played Wales.

Unexpected and unfortunate things do happen in sports. For example, no one thought that no. 1 Germany would go out with as bad as 0-2 yesterday despite France being a great team. So, if Wales got defeated by England, I put it as an unexpected and unfortunate event; judging by the overall performances of both the teams in this tournament.

C'mon Portugal!

Saying that, if they lose, I'll feel better because that will serve them right for beating my Wales.

C'mon France!

Actually, C'mon, either. I don't care.

I have my pop corns on the go.

What a dire 'spectacle'.

England, you're in good company, it seems.

Well, I have to say that Portugal are playing far better against France, even without their plastic toy captain than Germany did; in the semi final. Germany should be ashamed.

Portugal have shown to France that just because it's their homeland, it doesn't mean that the game would be easy for them. Well done, Portugal! Respect for playing your best without your back bone of a captain.
