GDT: Team USA vs Germany (Semifinals)

[Old Man Jags]

f***ing Dortmund. What a joke.

They were shell shocked. Fell apart. Haller misses a penalty and they go behind 2-0 in their most important game in years. Of course, Bayern scored in the 89th minute

I usually buy beer from Czechia but on thursday i went to Lidl, and i had sudden urge to buy German beer. My subconscious must have knew this was going to happen. Perlenbacher is decent and i like it because it's in bottles. The flavor stays better.

But as long as it's German beer for tomorrow. Lets Goooooooo

Well then enjoy it.
I would be happy to get some Pilsner urquell (Plzeňský Prazdroj in czech) but sadly we don't have that here in NL.

have a great evening. Till tomorrow

i still can’t believe it - this is the most exited I have been after a German game since we beat Canada at the Olympics in 2018.

I knew there was a chance at a medal, but I was talking about Bronze, this is unbelievable.

Noebels and Tiffels won’t ever have to buy drinks if I’m around.

Congratulations! I'm rooting for the underdogs tomorrow.

I love Pilsner Urquell, too. Luckily we do have it where I live - in Tokyo - and I really want one. They even sell them in my local supermarket. But it’s 3:30 am in Japan so time to go to sleep

… and football.

Iam sorry.
But thats the german coming through.

But for now:

I almost cried twice this day. first when I listened to the Championsleague-Anthem in the Alte Försterei and now watching the summary of the semifinal! one of the best sportsdays of my life (watching sport).

Makes a huge difference. And I once did a pilgrimage to the brewery in Plzen itself, the fresh unpasteurized beer there was like manna from heaven. In Japan you can get it in some pubs, but it’s all wrong. Less pressure, less carbonation, slightly off temperature.. They don’t serve it well. In Prague it’s excellent and it was also good in Germany, where I had it in a pub in Düsseldorf.

Nothing warms my heart more than watching America take Ls.

 

[Panteras]

Wow…can’t even be mad at this. Congrats Germany. Go and win it now!

 

[Lauro]

Nothing warms my heart more than watching America take Ls.

Exactly, which makes the historic German victory doubly beautiful.

We've sent some pretty strong teams in the past (2013, 2018, 2019 for starters) and even they couldn't reach a final.

2018 USA lost semifinal against stacked Team Sweden and in 2019 against Russian team full of stars. It happens, bad luck. 2013 was a mystery. If I remember correctly it was Switzerland on fire back then.

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

congrats Germany well deserved

 

[Wattsburgh]

Good game Germany. You gave Casey DeSmith his toughest game. Good luck to the fans and team vs Canada. Go make another spectacular game again.

 

[Zaar]

NEIN NEIN NEIN

Enjoy your free gold, Crapnada.

Since I'm an old man I tend to repeat myself (from the semi finals discussion):

I won't dispute, that Canada and USA are heavy favourites but I strongly disagree on that "Free Wins" assumption.

 

[PapaQ]

Congrats from Slovakia. Well deserved. You can do the same in the next game, I think its pretty open at this point.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Niederberger... great.. The missed chances the USA had... incredible.

Now easily one of Canada's weakest teams of the past 30 years, if not their very weakest.. goes for Gold against the upstarts. I'm good with either winner.

 

[MeHateHe]

So the US is the Toronto Maple Leafs of the world hockey championships?

In Kanto supermarkets Sapporo's Ginza Lion Beer Hall Special isn't half bad by Japanese standards.

Since I'm an old man I tend to repeat myself (from the semi finals discussion):

Canada barely beat lativa, got beat by Norway.

There's no free wins in this tournament this year.

Germany with a great chance to win this year's Roman Červenka invitational

That's good too, my favourite is Budejovicky Budvar. It's so delicious, that i almost would want to bathe in it. Only problem is that after covid the supermarket started to order it in cans only, the taste ain't what it is in the glass bottles. Big city stores have glass bottle budvar in their stock but i live near small city in Finland, close to eastern border and i don't fancy driving 150 km just for beer

God's nectar

 

[YippieKaey]

So happy for Germany, and so happy the US lost after their disgraceful game against SWE. Vielen danks Deutschland! Get that gold now

 

[nickp91]

Germany is a very wealthy country so while it has no chance of getting past soccer I wouldn't be surprised if it carves out a big niche over the next decade
