Sports Discuss anything related to sports, including the translation of sports terminology. Why is a bicycle kick called a "chilena” in Argentina? Is a home run a jonrón, a cuadrangular or simply a home run? Who is the best footballer in the world?

Default Poll - who is going to win the Euro2008

Hello,

on request now a poll for the Football/Soccer European Cup 2008.

I am sorry, but I had to limit the possibilities to 10 as this is the max we can use for a poll.

Have fun,
Mario

Mario,
1. How does it work ? - Do we choose just 1 winner ?
2. What's the first prize if we win the poll ?

Hello Frank,

1) You can choose several winners, to make it more interesting.
2) You send the winner some virtual beer from Belgium and I send them some virual carne de Argentina.

Cheers from Buenos Aires,
Mario

sarab, thank you for setting women as football fans back 20 or so years. I'm sure Exxcéntrica would be mighty proud!

You have to think the defending World Cup champions would merit a few votes, right?

We all have our different reasons for watching a particular match or supporting a specific player, ScottJ...nothing to do with "setting women back"!

It is getting closer and closer.....what a wonderful match yesterday. Die Mannschaft played very well and I liked Portugal, too.

At the end Germany vs. The Netherlands in the final.

Hello Frank,

not yet. I am actually sad to see that the Dutch had to go. Even so that we Germans and they are natural football enemies, but they played really well before and I would have loved to meet them in the final.

Now it is going to be a big fight with Turkey to meet Spain or Russia.

I really hope that nobody will start a fight in Germany after the game !!

Saludos,
Mario
