So the European Football Championships start in a week. England don't stand a chance. Germany are looking good. France are stil undefeated in something like 20 games.
It will be a good one. Mal, are you going to be watching?

I am the farthest thing from a sports guy, but I occasionally watch soccer matches at the local faux-English pub.
The British ex-pats are kind enough to explain the various machinations and goings-on of the football world to me, and I nod appreciatively. I then utter some vaguely worded platitudes to indicate that I have understood the information they have attempted to impart.
I'm getting pretty good at doing that.
I've tried to follow every Euro Cup and every World Cup since 1996, and I think I've been able to catch the majority of the games in each of those competitions. It's relatively easy to do when you're a student and get the summers off. This is probably going to be the first Euro Cup since 1996 where I'm not going to be able to watch the majority of the games (due to work, wedding preparations, etc.).
I'll definitely take some time to watch Germany's matches, and I'll probably try to catch any games that are scheduled for weekends. Germany has a strong squad this year and many of their most important players are in good form. The biggest question mark is Schweinsteiger, who still needs to recover from various injuries. Other than that, it's really just a matter of whether they've had enough time to train together, since half the team is composed of Bayern-players, who joined the training camp two weeks late because of the Champions League final.
That's not so awesome.

The funniest joke in history was translated into German.
I smoke a pipe when I poop also.

Everyone poops. Including apples.
Make sure you do this after pooping.

My wife saw this advertisement in a magazine last night. So glad they gave us the visual so we know how to use the travel bidet.

Now that I know they have, like, fifty different championships a year, there's no chance in hell any soccer championship will ever mean anything to me.
