Euro: The Official 2024 Euro Germany Thread

[luiginb]

We can call this tourney “gesture gate”.

Belllingham investigated, the Turkish player who scored their 2nd goal….

Who are these gesture detectives who have to decipher and attribute celebratory gestures?

I’m imagining Robert Langdon being called in.

Yeah in Europe (especially in the Balkans) we don't really need the da Vinci guy to recognise this gesture. There are peoples, like the Armenians, who for them this gesture holds all the weight of the nazi salute in the western world.

It's not just the two of them.

There have been gestures throughout the entire tournament. I can't remember this much scrutiny in previous tourneys.

And yet they still can't stop people from running into the field or throwing plastic beer cans or coins on the field/at players.

This is cute

Won't happen, but I ended up with Spain/France and Netherlands/England in the semis

 

[Apex Predator]

I’m rooting for England and Netherlands to see you be right

I won't be able to watch the last QF, off to a lake for the rest of the day. I am feeling a big day for Gakpo.

Spain vs Netherlands final please

 

[koyvoo]

Spain vs Netherlands final please

Spain vs France should be a classic but France has just not lived up to the billing. This deep in the tournament, I’m not sure they find their groove.

Netherlands are clearly in better form than England but I don’t know. I’m not fully sold.

Who did you have for the finals?

 

[luiginb]

Spain are finally the favourites with the bookies, overtaking England for the first time.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Who did you have for the finals?

Spain/England and England winning.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Spain/England and England winning.

Why would speak it into existence?

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

I mean who’s surprised but glad Kroos makes it abundantly clear.

Actually might be fake

If the haircut fits...

 

[Spring in Fialta]

I don't know what his personal views are but this reeks of being fake.

It’s been deleted now…

 

[Karterthadon]

Wasn't Kroos captain woke with all the pro LGBTQ stuff? This was clearly a fake.

Not really. You can be pro LGBTQ+ and be a racist

 

[JoVel]

Reading through the online discourse over the Kroos thing is incredible.

You have people calling him a racist for the quotes that are either fake or completely out of context.

On the other hand you have the group of people who now use Kroos as their spokesperson for their anti immigration views.

Apparently the podcast criticising the British press had the worst parts of it go "hold my beer".
