Schweini’s thoughtful post-match reflection ruined by jubilant flag sarong wearing opponents

Poor old Bastian Schweinsteiger. Here he is trying to fight back tears of disappointment as he explains his nation’s failure to capture the Henri Delaunay trophy, when a group of chirpy Spaniards come and conga all over his broken dreams.

Still, at least he has Sarah Brandner to go home to.

Warning: contains strong images of a complete muppet

One of Joey ‘waste of blood and organs’ Barton’s victims in the video abovewas just sixteen, and was left with broken teeth. The Sun have today made the unsubstantiated claim that Newcastle have terminated his contract, and if the clubs in this country have any sense, they’ll make sure he isn’t employed as a professional footballer again.

Unfortunately for society, the unthinkably stupid and dangerous man is going to be back on the streets in a matter of days.

If you won a championship, wouldn’t you spray your half naked teammates with champagne?

Spain’s victorious men looked to be having a fantastic time after winning Euro 2008 on Sunday. Except for Xavi and David Villa. They’re such prudes.

Torres and co drink the German’s milkshake in Vienna

The world’s media are making a big fuss about Spain finally breaking their 44 year spell without any silverware, and this could be a great sign for England: by the 2010 World Cup, we will have been waiting exactly the same amount of time for a tournament win…

Unconvincing Germans make the final again

Once again, Adrien Brody’s Joachim Loew’s side managed to claw their way to their sixth European Champions final, despite being the second best team on the pitch last night.

Seeing as nature decided the worldwide audience didn’t deserve to see the Miroslav Klose goal that put Germany 2-1 up, you can check it out by clicking the box above.

The latest in a long line of Downfall parodies

With the exception of the odd gauche racial slur, this video is a fine representation of the anguish C-Ron’s imminent transfer is causing. Click here for an Arsenal version.

Russia and Spain complete the final eight

Last night in Innsbruck, some old Scandinavian men were given an early summer holiday by some spritely Russians. Elsewhere, some Dutch people were starting to get quite concerned.

Meanwhile, the team whose only Euro 2004 defeat was at the hands of Russia managed to lose all three of their games this time round. Bravo.

American footballer’s media training put to good use

Something tells me Cincinnati Bengals wide Receiver Chad Johnson doesn’t want to be interviewed. Either that, or he cares a little too much for the journalist.

Germans and Austrians left scratching their heads this morning

On the shock German loss, this morning’s Sun newspaper lead with “Slaven Bilic’s side finally put a smile back on our faces by sticking it to the old enemy.” Presumably, if the tournament favourites had won, it would have read “Joachim Loew’s side finally put a smile back on our faces by sticking it to the old enemy.” Either way, seeing the side that defeated us twice in qualifying also defeat a quality German team was mildly therapeutic.

In Vienna, Austria were seconds away from joining co-hosts Switzerland on the reject pile when they nabbed a last minute penalty, keeping them in the tournament for a couple more days.

‘That’s what I’m talking about,’ catchphrase conspicuous by its absence

We posted this rather lengthy clip a month ago, but now it seems very clear why Sir Alan would favour former salesman Lee in the race for a lucrative job…
