Oh, I almost forgot: the funniest thing about the BBC commentary... Legolas Send a noteboard - 27/06/2010 10:49:27 PM
the guy's name is Mesut Özil. Not Ozil. If you don't have Umlauts at your keyboard you are allowed to type Oezil. But please acknowledge that there are people even worse concerning those dots than Germans.
BTW if you find Germans and Turkish too full of Umlauts, try Hungarian and get mad.


was that they kept calling the German coach "Joachim Love". Brilliant. With Ozil at least they pronounced his name properly.

And about that spelling: Oezil looks ridiculous, I refuse to use "oe" for ö (largely because that's a totallly different sound in Dutch). But on a Qwerty keyboard (I have one, though it's not the Belgian standard), while typing an ö is easy enough (alt-0246), the capital letter version is rather harder, so I don't bother with that either.

Deutschland über England. LiterateDog - 27/06/2010 04:52:51 PM 1201 Views
I am pleased that the goal differential was more than that one goal. It should have been 4-2. The Shrike - 27/06/2010 04:55:35 PM 898 Views
I care not for diplomacy. LiterateDog - 27/06/2010 04:57:58 PM 989 Views
Well . . . you are of Irish extraction. It is just for you to be happy that England lost. The Shrike - 27/06/2010 04:59:35 PM 898 Views
Does anti-Frenchiness really need to even be mentioned? LiterateDog - 27/06/2010 05:01:45 PM 738 Views
Karma. They self-destructed. It was fun to watch. The Shrike - 27/06/2010 05:03:18 PM 967 Views
So is Sepp Blatter, I would imagine. Legolas - 27/06/2010 05:03:48 PM 951 Views
That's my big concern, that Blatter the tosser gets off with this one. Wibble - 27/06/2010 05:13:09 PM 903 Views
And whilst I'm at it, 2 comments that summed up England today. Wibble - 27/06/2010 05:21:22 PM 1103 Views
Yeah, agreed. Legolas - 27/06/2010 05:29:01 PM 909 Views
Disallowing England's second goal was karma. Dragonsoul - 27/06/2010 05:32:30 PM 968 Views
Wha? Wibble - 27/06/2010 05:39:22 PM 961 Views
True, Italy's play was awful. Dragonsoul - 27/06/2010 05:45:44 PM 958 Views
That is a ridiculous argument. Legolas - 27/06/2010 05:43:11 PM 969 Views
Not really. Dragonsoul - 27/06/2010 05:48:13 PM 888 Views
Germany won't last long. Dragonsoul - 27/06/2010 05:30:40 PM 853 Views
Based on what I have seen so far, I think you're right. *NM* The Shrike - 27/06/2010 05:35:03 PM 422 Views
I couldn't care less, to be honest. LiterateDog - 27/06/2010 05:35:16 PM 885 Views
Well that makes one of us. Dragonsoul - 27/06/2010 05:49:05 PM 849 Views
I think the winner of that match will win. Wibble - 27/06/2010 05:40:48 PM 963 Views
Argentina just has too much power. Milito was absurd this year at Inter. Dragonsoul - 27/06/2010 05:51:02 PM 841 Views
Argentina, yes. Milito, doesn't look like it so far. Legolas - 27/06/2010 05:46:18 PM 902 Views
It's not that I'm looking at Inter players. Dragonsoul - 27/06/2010 05:52:34 PM 816 Views
Get to the final they might, but it won't be a stroll. Legolas - 27/06/2010 09:28:32 PM 855 Views
Eh, Spain is overrated. Dragonsoul - 27/06/2010 10:20:01 PM 964 Views
Not really. Legolas - 27/06/2010 10:38:54 PM 928 Views
Quarterfinal is already pretty "long" ironclad - 27/06/2010 08:06:33 PM 794 Views
The fact that Italy went out in the group stage... Dragonsoul - 27/06/2010 09:59:33 PM 810 Views
Lol, well, maybe I can pretend to care about soccer for a minute ßelals Girl - 27/06/2010 06:44:05 PM 893 Views
We're even for Wembley now ironclad - 27/06/2010 08:15:44 PM 918 Views
My thoughts exactly. Germany is officially never allowed to moan about "Das Wembley-Tor" again. *NM* Tim - 27/06/2010 10:11:50 PM 398 Views
I'm fine with a bit of overconfidence, but playing without a defence was probably a bit too much. *NM* Liam - 27/06/2010 08:29:55 PM 408 Views
Hehe Etzel - 27/06/2010 09:13:20 PM 1246 Views
Now they get to fight Argentina in the much-anticipated "Battle for Hitler's Brain"! Tom - 27/06/2010 10:02:35 PM 918 Views
and here's my plea to the english press ponder stibbons - 27/06/2010 10:43:06 PM 769 Views
Oh, I almost forgot: the funniest thing about the BBC commentary... Legolas - 27/06/2010 10:49:27 PM 805 Views
Did they really? I didn't notice. Maybe because there was too much shouting at the telly. Liam - 27/06/2010 11:28:55 PM 849 Views
If you've memorised the lower-case code, just subtract 32 for the upper-case code. Tim - 28/06/2010 09:42:02 AM 824 Views
Hm, interesting. I figured there probably was a code, but couldn't be bothered to look it up. Legolas - 28/06/2010 09:46:01 AM 773 Views
The English team did not seem to understand the fact that it is a bad idea... jh - 28/06/2010 11:07:24 AM 861 Views
There's been a lot of fuss made about the Premier League not having a mid-season break. Liam - 28/06/2010 11:38:11 AM 946 Views
... slower pace? jh - 29/06/2010 06:07:57 PM 712 Views
Hah, well, naturally England were also utterly abysmal. Liam - 29/06/2010 11:15:41 PM 901 Views
BTW did anybody notice ponder stibbons - 30/06/2010 09:10:34 PM 901 Views
Yup. Wibble - 01/07/2010 11:25:00 PM 730 Views
