Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…
Was that the most boring game you’ve ever seen?
Two great footballing nations: Think Real Madrid and Barcelona; AC Milan and Juventus. And all the rest…
I really feel sorry for the people that paid for tickets. So many games in the EM have been entertaining but that was dire.
I watched the BBC coverage of the game, and the most entertaining part was the irony of the commentary. At half time they showed a feature on the old Orsoin Welles film noir The Third Man. To which Gary Lineker responded: You know the football must be rubbish when we get more worked up about a fifty year-old film…
Exactly.
If you want to get an idea of the match, just look at the photo above, a bunch of men standing around. Now imagine watching it for 90 minutes!
Extra time was more entertaining admittedly, and penalties are always tense. But let’s hope German and Russia manage to play as the did in the quarter finals.
And provide us with some proper entertainment.
