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 1289 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 985 Views
I care not for diplomacy. LiterateDog - 27/06/2010 04:57:58 PM 1082 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 977 Views
Does anti-Frenchiness really need to even be mentioned? LiterateDog - 27/06/2010 05:01:45 PM 801 Views
Karma. They self-destructed. It was fun to watch. The Shrike - 27/06/2010 05:03:18 PM 1047 Views
So is Sepp Blatter, I would imagine. Legolas - 27/06/2010 05:03:48 PM 1037 Views
That's my big concern, that Blatter the tosser gets off with this one. Wibble - 27/06/2010 05:13:09 PM 977 Views
And whilst I'm at it, 2 comments that summed up England today. Wibble - 27/06/2010 05:21:22 PM 1198 Views
Yeah, agreed. Legolas - 27/06/2010 05:29:01 PM 989 Views
Disallowing England's second goal was karma. Dragonsoul - 27/06/2010 05:32:30 PM 1043 Views
Wha? Wibble - 27/06/2010 05:39:22 PM 1058 Views
True, Italy's play was awful. Dragonsoul - 27/06/2010 05:45:44 PM 1047 Views
That is a ridiculous argument. Legolas - 27/06/2010 05:43:11 PM 1051 Views
Not really. Dragonsoul - 27/06/2010 05:48:13 PM 979 Views
Germany won't last long. Dragonsoul - 27/06/2010 05:30:40 PM 935 Views
Based on what I have seen so far, I think you're right. *NM* The Shrike - 27/06/2010 05:35:03 PM 466 Views
I couldn't care less, to be honest. LiterateDog - 27/06/2010 05:35:16 PM 953 Views
Well that makes one of us. Dragonsoul - 27/06/2010 05:49:05 PM 945 Views
I think the winner of that match will win. Wibble - 27/06/2010 05:40:48 PM 1038 Views
Argentina just has too much power. Milito was absurd this year at Inter. Dragonsoul - 27/06/2010 05:51:02 PM 930 Views
Argentina, yes. Milito, doesn't look like it so far. Legolas - 27/06/2010 05:46:18 PM 1010 Views
It's not that I'm looking at Inter players. Dragonsoul - 27/06/2010 05:52:34 PM 902 Views
Get to the final they might, but it won't be a stroll. Legolas - 27/06/2010 09:28:32 PM 928 Views
Eh, Spain is overrated. Dragonsoul - 27/06/2010 10:20:01 PM 1055 Views
Not really. Legolas - 27/06/2010 10:38:54 PM 1016 Views
Quarterfinal is already pretty "long" ironclad - 27/06/2010 08:06:33 PM 899 Views
The fact that Italy went out in the group stage... Dragonsoul - 27/06/2010 09:59:33 PM 904 Views
Lol, well, maybe I can pretend to care about soccer for a minute ßelals Girl - 27/06/2010 06:44:05 PM 972 Views
We're even for Wembley now ironclad - 27/06/2010 08:15:44 PM 1009 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 433 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 442 Views
Hehe Etzel - 27/06/2010 09:13:20 PM 1333 Views
Now they get to fight Argentina in the much-anticipated "Battle for Hitler's Brain"! Tom - 27/06/2010 10:02:35 PM 1024 Views
and here's my plea to the english press ponder stibbons - 27/06/2010 10:43:06 PM 863 Views
Oh, I almost forgot: the funniest thing about the BBC commentary... Legolas - 27/06/2010 10:49:27 PM 888 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 930 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 920 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 861 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 932 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 1032 Views
... slower pace? jh - 29/06/2010 06:07:57 PM 783 Views
Hah, well, naturally England were also utterly abysmal. Liam - 29/06/2010 11:15:41 PM 988 Views
BTW did anybody notice ponder stibbons - 30/06/2010 09:10:34 PM 986 Views
Yup. Wibble - 01/07/2010 11:25:00 PM 815 Views
