Now the day is gone and I sit alone and think of you, girl
What can I do without you in my life?
I guess that our guessing game just had to end that way
The hardest one to lose of all the games we played
A couple are on their honeymoon and the wife complains of chest pains. They rush to the emergency room and after about half an hour, the doctor comes out to speak to the husband.
“Sir, it appears that your wife has acute angina.”
The husband chuckles and says “Yeah, she sure does, doesn’t she!”

Thank you! I’m here all week. Try the brisket and don’t forget to tip your servers.

France 3-0 Iceland. As brave as they have been in this tournament, I’m starting to think this is as far as the Icelanders get.

Curses! Beaten to it by other commenters. Making up a four-nil halftime deficit looks to be beyond even these brave Vikings.

This is not an embarrassment for Iceland – they were always a longshot. It’s an embarrassment for England.

I’m about to throw my TV out of the window or attack it with a hammer or something, and not because Iceland is losing.
I’m watching this at home on Colombian TV (RCN). They have two commentators and one of them likes the french names and loves to say ‘France’, but for some unfathomable reason (other than that he’s completely fucking stupid), he is doing it in a mock english accent. And not just once or twice, but All.The.Fucking.Time.
Seriously, if you hear in the next couple of days that somebody blew up RCN TV, that won’t be because of the usual shit going on in this country, that’ll just be me.

Tigers just went up on the Rays with three in the top of the 8th. Watch Sportscenter for the run Kinsler scored from second on a fielder’s choice to 1B.
And now Kinsler hits his 200th career HR to put the Tigers up 5-1 in the top of the ninth. Tiger Of the Year, even as well as Castellanos, Cabrera, V-Mart and Fullmer are playing.
Eidur Gudjonnsson, the old war horse, also the King of Football, comes on for Icelad, and the Vikings get a second.
Gudjonnsson’s first appearance for Iceland was as a sub for his father. This is probably his last appearance

and the whistle blows, 5-2 for France.
The semifinal buildup will feature the bomb at the friiendly earlier this year, and the Schumacher assault on Battiston (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGq7VcaHoqo, very hard challenge). Battiston ended up in a coma

Iceland wins the second half. Nice to see ol’ Eidur one last time.
Losing 2-1 to this Iceland team wasn’t embarrassing. Losing in the pathetic, ineffectual, aimless, panic-stricken, leaderless, toothless and (did I mention) pathetic way we did was embarrassing.
Very good French performance. That’s how you do your homework, Woy, you overpaid gobshite.
Wales – Portugal, France-Germany. I would have bet on one of those match-ups being a semi-final, guess which one.

I can’t say I am surprised. France are fucking good and they are loaded. Asgarth and the maidens of the volcanoes can’t stem this rising French tide.

Not looking good for the Icelanders. :-(
