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.

Deutschland über England. - 27/06/2010 04:52:51 PM 1325 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 1020 Views
I care not for diplomacy. - 27/06/2010 04:57:58 PM 1122 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 1010 Views
Does anti-Frenchiness really need to even be mentioned? - 27/06/2010 05:01:45 PM 834 Views
Karma. They self-destructed. It was fun to watch. - 27/06/2010 05:03:18 PM 1090 Views
So is Sepp Blatter, I would imagine. - 27/06/2010 05:03:48 PM 1073 Views
That's my big concern, that Blatter the tosser gets off with this one. - 27/06/2010 05:13:09 PM 1009 Views
And whilst I'm at it, 2 comments that summed up England today. - 27/06/2010 05:21:22 PM 1229 Views
Yeah, agreed. - 27/06/2010 05:29:01 PM 1029 Views
Disallowing England's second goal was karma. - 27/06/2010 05:32:30 PM 1075 Views
Wha? - 27/06/2010 05:39:22 PM 1098 Views
True, Italy's play was awful. - 27/06/2010 05:45:44 PM 1077 Views
That is a ridiculous argument. - 27/06/2010 05:43:11 PM 1089 Views

Germany won't last long. - 27/06/2010 05:30:40 PM 972 Views
Based on what I have seen so far, I think you're right. *NM* - 27/06/2010 05:35:03 PM 479 Views
I couldn't care less, to be honest. - 27/06/2010 05:35:16 PM 983 Views
Well that makes one of us. - 27/06/2010 05:49:05 PM 979 Views
I think the winner of that match will win. - 27/06/2010 05:40:48 PM 1069 Views
Argentina just has too much power. Milito was absurd this year at Inter. - 27/06/2010 05:51:02 PM 964 Views
Argentina, yes. Milito, doesn't look like it so far. - 27/06/2010 05:46:18 PM 1047 Views
It's not that I'm looking at Inter players. - 27/06/2010 05:52:34 PM 937 Views
Get to the final they might, but it won't be a stroll. - 27/06/2010 09:28:32 PM 962 Views
Eh, Spain is overrated. - 27/06/2010 10:20:01 PM 1087 Views
Not really. - 27/06/2010 10:38:54 PM 1049 Views
Quarterfinal is already pretty "long" - 27/06/2010 08:06:33 PM 927 Views
The fact that Italy went out in the group stage... - 27/06/2010 09:59:33 PM 934 Views
Lol, well, maybe I can pretend to care about soccer for a minute - 27/06/2010 06:44:05 PM 1003 Views

Oh, I almost forgot: the funniest thing about the BBC commentary... - 27/06/2010 10:49:27 PM 928 Views
Did they really? I didn't notice. Maybe because there was too much shouting at the telly. - 27/06/2010 11:28:55 PM 957 Views

There's been a lot of fuss made about the Premier League not having a mid-season break. - 28/06/2010 11:38:11 AM 1065 Views
... slower pace? - 29/06/2010 06:07:57 PM 816 Views
Hah, well, naturally England were also utterly abysmal. - 29/06/2010 11:15:41 PM 1023 Views
BTW did anybody notice - 30/06/2010 09:10:34 PM 1024 Views
