Can someone help me out here? What out of the following 3 would constitute 'the most useless':
- The Portuguese defence
- A nuns tits
- A one legged man in an arse kicking contest
Essentially, I read the match dynamic pretty much right – and at half time I was fairly confident that my ship would be sailing home. The third German goal (the softest of the goals) ended that. It came at a bad time too – just as the German legs were looking tired the Portuguese accepted defeat and put their heads down. They bottled it. Some people might say that the third German goal was a foul – but, to me honest, the defender jumped too early and the keeper should have been there, so there were too many basic fuckups to even bother about whether it was a foul or not. Scolari, you’re the manager – why didn’t you sort it out and manage? Why were you on your arse in the dugout five minutes before your team hit the pitch? Did you really have NOTHING else to say to them – or were you too busy dreaming of blue roubles to care?
Blah - congratulations Germany, you bastards.
Still – I clawed back a bit of cash with a punt on the ‘winning margin’ being 1 goal – so I’m now only 44% down on my tenner from last night.
Tonight I need to flip a coin, roll a dice and double through... ha – maybe I’ll look into ‘first corner’ and let it all ride – it would have saved me 85 minutes of stress/despair watching last nights match.
*tilt*
Ok, ok – calm, ‘win some lose some’ remember... let’s look at this logically:
Quarter-final - Croatia v Turkey @ Vienna
Result: Croatia will smash Turkey, 3-1
Reasons: Instinct.

[20/06/2008 09:11:53] DogFace says: it was looking so good until Germany got the 3rd and then they gave up!
[20/06/2008 09:12:01] DogFace says: Fucking Portugal!!
[20/06/2008 09:18:03] dhjackal says: well you wouldn't listen
[20/06/2008 09:18:20] DogFace says: meh
[20/06/2008 09:18:47] DogFace says: You should have told me that Portugal were weak on set pieces!!!
[20/06/2008 09:18:58] DogFace says: Rather than just saying that ‘Germany will win’!
[20/06/2008 09:19:36] dhjackal says: i told you portugal would bottle it
[20/06/2008 09:19:39] dhjackal says: and they did
[20/06/2008 09:20:33] DogFace says: OK - I accept that, but next time tell me how they will bottle it. I didn't know they were THAT bad at the back!
[20/06/2008 09:23:33] dhjackal says: Spain are just as bad
[20/06/2008 09:23:40] dhjackal says: esp without Payol
[20/06/2008 09:26:16] DogFace says: Yeah... I reckon you might be right - although Fabregas can drop back when he needs to, to help out a bit, he's been doing that last season with Arsenal... but still - Italy.. I hope Spain make it a tough match for them at least.
[20/06/2008 09:34:29] dhjackal says: your over analysing again
[20/06/2008 09:37:38] DogFace says: ha-ha
[20/06/2008 09:37:44] DogFace says: Just go with instinct right?
[20/06/2008 09:38:00] DogFace says: OK - so tonight: Quarter-final - Croatia v Turkey @ Vienna
[20/06/2008 09:38:10] DogFace says: Croatia are going to SMASH them!
[20/06/2008 09:38:29] DogFace says: That's my instinct.
[20/06/2008 09:39:04] dhjackal says: i agree
[20/06/2008 09:39:13] dhjackal says: now stick to your instinct
[20/06/2008 09:39:15] DogFace says: Then it's settled?
[20/06/2008 09:39:21] dhjackal says: and stick some cash down
[20/06/2008 09:39:26] dhjackal says: if you lose you lose
[20/06/2008 09:39:30] dhjackal says: like Rocky
[20/06/2008 09:40:05] DogFace says: I’m going to - I'm down 44% on last night... clawed some back on "Winning Margain".
[20/06/2008 09:40:26] DogFace says: Yeah man - like Rocky!
[20/06/2008 09:40:57] DogFace says: All I need now is a little Irish fellah barking orders at me and telling me that I'm going to eat lightning and crap thunder...
[20/06/2008 09:41:34] dhjackal says: sounds like a perfect role for me
[20/06/2008 09:41:50] dhjackal says: i need to drink more peat water to redden up my face
[20/06/2008 09:42:21] DogFace says: hahaha
[20/06/2008 09:43:15] DogFace says: OK - this is where it starts. The big comeback - tonight my cash is going down heavy on Croatia!
[20/06/2008 09:43:38] DogFace says: Gettin' strong now (music) ba dah daaah!
[20/06/2008 09:44:01] dhjackal says: how much?
[20/06/2008 09:44:20] DogFace says: Whatever's left... £6.63
[20/06/2008 09:44:35] DogFace says: Should I invest some more?
[20/06/2008 09:44:35] dhjackal says: not exactly breaking the bank are you?
[20/06/2008 09:44:41] dhjackal says: stick £5 for me
[20/06/2008 09:44:55] DogFace says: I thought I would be a bit more up after last night!
[20/06/2008 09:45:36] dhjackal says: i would have been
[20/06/2008 09:45:38] DogFace says: OK - £5 on Croatia win. I'll do it @ lunch.
[20/06/2008 09:45:41] dhjackal says: had i been at home
[20/06/2008 09:45:45] dhjackal says: ok - nice one
[20/06/2008 09:45:51] dhjackal says: what you doing for lunch?
[20/06/2008 09:46:09] DogFace says: Dunno - maybe we could round up the boys and get Thai?
[20/06/2008 09:46:23] dhjackal says: fancy a sneeky (beer)
[20/06/2008 09:46:29] DogFace says: Yeah man!
[20/06/2008 09:47:13] DogFace says: I just got some mentally un-taxing work to do this afternoon - so that'll make it fly by.
[20/06/2008 09:51:17] dhjackal says: wicked
[20/06/2008 09:51:25] dhjackal says: i'll round up some bodies
[20/06/2008 09:51:30] DogFace says: Do it.
[20/06/2008 09:51:33] dhjackal says: we'll hit the Uni
[20/06/2008 09:51:36] dhjackal says: hard
[20/06/2008 09:51:50] DogFace says: And smash it to splinters!
[20/06/2008 09:52:24] dhjackal says: 8-)
