Did they really? I didn't notice. Maybe because there was too much shouting at the telly. Liam Send a noteboard - 27/06/2010 11:28:55 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.

Oh, how simply grand it is to be travelling by dirigible again. Direct us to the west good sir, tonight we will remember what it is to live.

Deutschland über England. - 27/06/2010 04:52:51 PM 1267 Views
I am pleased that the goal differential was more than that one goal. It should have been 4-2. - 27/06/2010 04:55:35 PM 967 Views
I care not for diplomacy. - 27/06/2010 04:57:58 PM 1058 Views
Well . . . you are of Irish extraction. It is just for you to be happy that England lost. - 27/06/2010 04:59:35 PM 956 Views
Does anti-Frenchiness really need to even be mentioned? - 27/06/2010 05:01:45 PM 781 Views
Karma. They self-destructed. It was fun to watch. - 27/06/2010 05:03:18 PM 1026 Views
So is Sepp Blatter, I would imagine. - 27/06/2010 05:03:48 PM 1018 Views
That's my big concern, that Blatter the tosser gets off with this one. - 27/06/2010 05:13:09 PM 956 Views
And whilst I'm at it, 2 comments that summed up England today. - 27/06/2010 05:21:22 PM 1175 Views
Yeah, agreed. - 27/06/2010 05:29:01 PM 967 Views

Wha? - 27/06/2010 05:39:22 PM 1033 Views
True, Italy's play was awful. - 27/06/2010 05:45:44 PM 1025 Views
That is a ridiculous argument. - 27/06/2010 05:43:11 PM 1031 Views

Germany won't last long. - 27/06/2010 05:30:40 PM 911 Views
Based on what I have seen so far, I think you're right. *NM* - 27/06/2010 05:35:03 PM 457 Views
I couldn't care less, to be honest. - 27/06/2010 05:35:16 PM 931 Views
Well that makes one of us. - 27/06/2010 05:49:05 PM 917 Views
I think the winner of that match will win. - 27/06/2010 05:40:48 PM 1019 Views
Argentina just has too much power. Milito was absurd this year at Inter. - 27/06/2010 05:51:02 PM 897 Views
Argentina, yes. Milito, doesn't look like it so far. - 27/06/2010 05:46:18 PM 985 Views
It's not that I'm looking at Inter players. - 27/06/2010 05:52:34 PM 879 Views
Get to the final they might, but it won't be a stroll. - 27/06/2010 09:28:32 PM 904 Views
Eh, Spain is overrated. - 27/06/2010 10:20:01 PM 1027 Views
Not really. - 27/06/2010 10:38:54 PM 992 Views

The fact that Italy went out in the group stage... - 27/06/2010 09:59:33 PM 877 Views
