1/3rd of Germany is Turkish, so this one could be very interesting...

Markus, you are a real turncoat!!!!

Just yesterday you were supporting Spain, now it is Turkey I at least hope that tomorrow you will support us again (we do need all the help we can get).

I also hope Turkey wins as I'd rather we play them in the final than the Germans.

He he! I like the vivid game Turkey is playing. It should be impossible but they are actually giving the Germans quite a handful.

Games over. Don´t want to be a spoiler, but I must say I am slightly disappointed.

WooHoo!!!


Although I'm angry...I sat in my office unable to watch the game because I had to work. But...then my secretary walks in and tells me that SHE'S been watching it online in the front!! Without me!!


That's OK, she's a Turk, and I was rooting for Germany, so she probably would burn my paycheck this week or something

Consider that the Turks in Germany are the second largest group of Turks ANYWHERE in the world outside of Turkey then. Happy with that?

The live feed went out here in the States during the 2nd half so I could not see it live, but did catch the replay at nite. Congrats to the Germans, condolances to the Turks. Very enjoyable match to watch.
