A football post containing not much football at all, but fun things nonetheless
I stayed home today since I couldn't sleep at all last night. Today's a school day, anyway, so I didn't even call in sick to work - will have to figure out if I have to tomorrow.
The big thing right now is the football euros, of course! I've been watching as much as I could, reading along on twitter and my favorite ticker on 11freunde (german) and having fun.
Some of my favorite things:
When the Irish fans gave everyone goosebumps in the last six minutes of their game vs. Spain. They'd lost very thoroughly (4:0) and were going home anyway, so they decided they'd go singing. Even German commenter Tom Bartels shut up!
See it here
The above will probably disappear and/or be inaccessible from outside Germany, so here's a shorter youtube clip:

This cracks me up every time I see it. The grinning guy is Mats Hummels, who just had a shot at the goal in the Germany/Netherlands game. The others are Dutch players arguing. He didn't even score, but he's so happy!
I have a real crush on Mats Hummels, no lie. Gomez isn't really my type (despite things like this - might be nsfw!), Podolski and Schweinsteiger don't do anything for me, but Hummels.... mmmmmm. He's even smart and playing really well at the moment!
btw, second most attractive German player: Sami Khedira.
the rain!
The Ukraine - France game was suspended after four minutes because of an impressive thunderstorm. I was really surprised that they managed to make the field ok for playing again in just an hour - the stadium must have a great drainage system.
I spent the interim on twitter collecting bad rain jokes. The ones from @spox are here - in german though.
And some actual football content: the most beautiful goal so far
Welbeck scores the winning goal against Sweden. Wow!
