Today’s highlights begin and end with France-Germany in the UEFA semifinals. France and Germany have played each other many times, including Germany’s elimination of France from the last World Cup. They also fought each other three times in 75 years, in the Franco-Prussian War, WWI and WWII, resulting in millions of casualties and, ultimately, the formation of The European Union, which has been a stunning success and ensures that nothing again will ever go wrong in Europe.
The winner of this game gets Ronaldo and the Portuguese in the finals. Which will be decided by penalty kicks, because of course they will.
In baseball tonight, (ducks), the Yanks play, (and no doubt lose to), Cleveland. Cleveland recently won 14 games in a row and is on fire to such an extent that you’d think they were a local river.
The Nationals play the Mets, in what should be a good game, the Cubs play the Braves in a game that should probably be stopped after 6 and San Diego plays the Dodgers in a game that some poor network is contractually obligated to broadcast.
In other news if you bought the pay-per-view for UFC 200 hoping for some resolution to the Jon Jones-Daniel Cormier rivalry boy are you screwed. It turns out that Jones’s rivalry with Cormier is secondary to Jones’s fondness for putting banned substances into his body, and he’s been dropped from the card. Cormier has no one to fight and therefore no reason not to stuff his face with as much cake and ice cream as he can get his mitts on. It totally wasn’t Jones’s fault however, as he can’t even pronounce whatever it was that they found in his system.
Dwayne Wade is going to the Bulls as a free agent, which would be big news in 2010.
Well, French schadenfreude will be that much better when (hopefully) Portugal beats them.
I just rememembered Frinkiac is a thing and life in 2016 can be good

Could have sworn I just heard French fans chanting “Seven Nation Surrendering Army”.
Do you think the French fans started to chant “Seven Nation Surrendering Army?”
I was given some editor powers recently-don’t quite know how to control them.

The Germans need to act quickly here; if only they were known for a lightning like offense against opponents such as France.
AND THE HITS JUST KEEP ON COMING
/BOOOOIIIIINNNNNNG

I know they’ve been said before
And I know they’re not funny
But I’ll keep beating this dead horse
Til it quits spittin’ out money
-Some song my kids like
I had to listen to most of this game via BBC Wales radio and it was horrendous. They spent the first half bad mouthing the Portugeuse and keep talking about hypothetical scores Germany should be winning by. The color analyst is increasingly slurring his words. It was horrible.
France is playing well and Germany is playing like they are missing 4 key players, a 5th playing hurt and Thomas Muller still not figuring out how to get his talent back after he lost it crossing swords in a public washroom.

There’s 17 low mileage (under 45K) GTIs in the 2010-2012 range for under $15K on Autotrader if you’re looking.
Hell no. I’m more than happy with my Dart
FRANCE WINS AND THERE’S NOTHING VICHY ABOUT IT!

Those poor Germans. If only their attacks were successful.
Why they opened up a second front in the east is beyond me…
This really has been a terrific performance by France as a team. I mean just a great collaborative effort from top to bottom.
I VICHY WAT YOU DID THERE
Germany needs some charismatic leadership against the French; do you suppose they have a failed Austrian art student on the bench?

Meinhof! I haven’t seen Germany play Baader!

The French? Pffft. I beat the shit out of the Germans I didn’t even have any legs.
Too bad ol’ Doug wasn’t around against Iceland.

I’ve heard some horrible things about Gotze.

Germany should trust Hector. It’s a tested strategy. Even his cadaver has a shitload of integrity.

Woo hoo! Made it to real time.

Even though they’re down by a goal, the Germans keep exerting pressure. De Gaulle of this team!

I should’ve gone to the Mexican taqueria to watch the game and get $1 tacos, but NOOOOOOO.

Yep.
Full leather two-tone interior matches the paint:

I like my black interior but i could melt steel beams in the summer
Used to have it in my GTI.
It’s going to be like an R32 with an interior the manufacturer actually cared about.
Didn’t know you had a GTi. I’d love the speed of a GTi compared to my Dart but not the price tag
Pretty nice car for a guy who hates capitalism.

FINALLY! France capitalizes on the home field advantage.
Just remember it isn’t about how you do in the first half, but your Waterloo.

ZUT ALORS!
I haven’t seen a German institution this exposed since the publication of The Hitler Diaries.
I haven’t seen the French fuck up a counterattack against the Germans like that since the Somme.
Seriously. I think I might be faster than Giroux.
I haven’t seen the French couterattack the Germans like that since Verdun.
I haven’t seen a German pinned down like that since the Seelow Heights.
ZIDANE’S LACK OF COMPOSURE!* France needs to convert their chances.
*I assume this is a French soccer fan’s exclamation of exasperation

He had some problems.
Nice pull!
Welp, here comes the first goal. I’m headed to the bathroom!
I haven’t seen a German get robbed like that since Versailles.
The Germans methodical nature is making Hans Landa jealous.

The early part of this match is like a reverse Blitzkreig. France is all over the Germans
I haven’t seen that many Germans with their hands in the air since Stalingrad.
