2012 UEFA Championship
My husband and I watched most of Portugal vs.Germany yesterday.
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
True love is wanting to give to another person without any thought about
who’s getting the better of the deal.
Love always creates, it never destroys. In this lie's man's only promise

Even though Hockey is the main sport here, we love mostly all Sports. All we don't get on our Basic Cable is Cricket. Originally Posted by Snooks

Re: 2012 UEFA Championship
Russia, Poland, Denmark, The Netherlands, Ireland and Croatia eliminated already.
Very poor showing by the Dutch in particular.
Tomorrow France - Sweden and England - Ukraine. France and England will only need a draw to qualify for the next round.The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough. - Rabindranath Tagore

Re: 2012 UEFA Championship
I was sad that the Dutch didn't make it. Though I didn't see the last match, I was hoping for them.

Re: 2012 UEFA Championship
honestly, what's the point of these games? I mean... yeah, sports, but really... what is it? To me, personally, it's nothing more than a great reason to be wearing sneakers when going to a bar and having a glass of beer... I can go by, undercover, on the male land...
yes, I am absolutely ignorant when it comes to sport!
but I think I like hockey a lot more than football... and basketball a lot more than hockey - never been to a match, though...
sorry, vent over. Just sayin'... UEFA, Champions' League... whatever, good games, more reasons for me to hit the sports bar and have great atmosphere
!

Re: 2012 UEFA Championship
You can use it as a sort of litmus test:
1. Does the guy have anything intelligent to say about sports?
2. Does he have a life beyond work and sports?
3. Can he actually talk about a non-work, non-sports-related topic?
See, it is not all that bad for women.
