And it shows. What is the meaning of that otaku stereotype's headband?

I should catch up to your translations but head starts to hurt when I try to read the latest ones.

We lost also the sound the second time. Good thing I had by then looked for the radio station ready just in case...

Heads will roll in that case...

I saw only about 2/3 of the second half. Some kind of problem (thunder storm?) in Wien(?) from where the signal was realyed to some parts of Europe.

Turkey v Germany will be dire too unless the Germans score early and Turkey have to rely on something other than their incredible stamina (where the Germans might just match them anyway). Not exactly well succeded prediction based on the first half. :D Turkey surprised German with their active play...

Meh, I thought they are actually gonna play football, but they were basically, well, Italy. Didn't deserve it. I wasn't surprised at all, unless one counts Spain being so toothless in offence. To be honest, I was more disappointed at Spain's performance. Italy played tactically wise and cynical mat...

Italy is missing Gattuso and Pirlo from the game against Spain. My bet would be Spain vs. Russia in quarterfinals.

Happy with that one, TBH. IMO Croatia have been massively over-rated. Turkey deserved it on effort alone. I don't see how Croatia has been over-rated. At least here it's considered that they beat Germany only because Germans played a very weak game. I don't have anything against Turkey winning the ...

Propably the best match in the tournament so far.

The only thing I didn't like, was Ballack's clear oushing in their third goal.

...your English is better than mine. Nope, but I'm used to making bad jokes. :( Looks like a promising start for the game. Tough but fair looking playing. I don't understand why Zlatan didn't get booked for dangerous playing right in the first strike though. Nice trick, but he should have realised ...

I felt the Russians were a bit lucky against Greece, poor supply for the forwards, and if Charestas (sp?) had got better contact with a couple of good crosses, they'd have been in trouble. I do think it's a soft group that several teams already out would have loved to have been in. IMHO they still ...

I glimpsed through Holland-Romania match (bought a recording digital box because of the tournament :o ) and after that it'd be hard to say Romania would have deserved to go through from this group. I don't know what had happened to the team that played good football and were very close to beat Italy...

Been a while Osku. (Certainly since we've crossed threads!) Been out of free (internet) time lately. I've even forgot my NTFA password, which I've used for many, many years. I'll remember the password sooner or later, just one sign that I've had too many things going on lately. :p Some what out of ...

Netherlands won their game against Romania. Nice that they decided to play seriously, even if it means possibly facing Italy again in semifinal. As a sidenote I hate the "closed" group system in this tournament. Italy was better than in earlier games. Defence like I'm used to expect from I...

France has started second half aggressively, but they have trouble getting inside penalty area.

It seems also that Italy is going for the second goal, promising.

Gattuso and Pirlo out from the next (possible) match. Gattuso's yellow card was rather stupid even.

Oh, this is marvellous... Ribery crippled, Abidal sent off, France a goal down, and it looks like they might be sending on Jean-Alain Boumsong =D Go Romania! EDIT: And they've subbed the bloke they just bought on. This is mental! Bloke = Nasri sure had a nice role in the game. :nonono: I was hoping...

I was similarily excited to finally get a Swoop toy. :D I can also seriously recommend WST Dinobots, but keep in mind that while those are nice toys, those usually need a bit of fixing. :( He is something of a nightmare initially. The pin holding his head on slides out, and his body halves are far t...

C-11 Ironhide, C-12 Ratchet It seems I'm seriously out of loop. Could someone point me to pictures of upcoming Classics molds and repaints(?). I was aware of for example Galvatron, but didn't know there was Ironhide and Ratchet. Also, someone care to pick me those Target exclusive Legends repaints?...

Mighty late as usual. Sorry to say, but I'll pass this one. Despite what the writer says in interview, the pages in this preview feel like a (professional) fanboy writing. Season 1 decepticons as core group (ooh, constructicons, seekers and oh-as-mighty-as-ever-Megatron belittleing Starscream etc.) ...

I like Prowl's short stunt as acting commander in early Marvel run. Also IDW Prowl has had interesting relations with OP and Ratchet. One word: Ninja! Two words: cyber ninja! I've always hated that kind of this character is cyber ***** labels. I'd like cybertronians portrayed as alien lifeforms, not...
