During that time the casket is open and most who come will view the body, hence the phrase "public viewing." ooops, so it´s true. That´s kind of freaky I think. The phrase became SO popular during the World Cup two years ago, that I can´t imagine it not being mentioned in conjunction with watching football in that kind of way. germans really should look something like this up before they start using it for other things. lol I wouldn't really worry about it. I don't think those words only get used in the context of funeral customs. And, besides, it's actually not the most common phrase used. "Visitation" is most common in my neck of the woods. It's not like the Coke ad that mistranslated "It brings good things to life." or Jimmy Carter saying in Polish that he wanted to carnally know the Polish people.

I can't believe that Volkan (who's a hottie), pushed that guy, which caused him to get the 'red card'. Idiot, who's a hottie, but an idiot. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was definitely the most exciting match of the whole Euro till now... Amazing, I really didnt believe they could win after the 2:0. Hamit Altintop, one of my alltime favourite players, made a GREAT job today. breathtaking, I wasn´t able to sit down anymore after the 2:2, then 3:2 and red card for Volkan.... absolutely unbelievable!!!

Since I am home today, I will watch some of the Germany/Portugal match. ;D I will root for Germany just cause of my German ancestor, which trumps having no Portuguese in me. I miss that hottie Austrian. Will Turkey play again?

Why do you ask? Is there something about Turkey you really gobble up? *looks sorry for his punnery*

The Turkey/Crotia match is Saturday, yet Volkan can't play on that day, because of his Red Card penalty from their last game. Steffi - Congratulations to Germany for playing a fine game against Portugal today.

Not what we got used to in the last 2 games... So...Now it´s time to pray for Turkey!!

Exciting night for the Netherlands tonight: the quarter final against Russia. Dutch coaches on both the teams; makes it an interesting duel... I hope we'll see some good soccer tonight (and that we'll win of course ;D) The Dutch team will be playing with mourning bands btw due to the death of the premature born baby daughter of Khalid Boulahrouz last Wednesday

Well, it seems like every team that I wanted to advance to the semifinals for EURO 2008 have been eliminated EXCEPT for Turkey. Portugal, Italy and Netherlands are done.
