Why Europeans Should be More Like the Turks

Ontem fui Turco durante 90 minutos!

Nunca pensei dizer uma coisa destas, mas a verdade é que mais depressa me identifico com os turcos do que com esses energúmenos dos alemães.

Há quem defenda a teoria – a meu ver desprovida de qualquer bom senso – de que é sempre melhor ser eliminado pelos campeões do que por quem fica pelo caminho.

Como é óbvio, não partilho de tal teoria. Sou mais do estilo de desejar que quem nos eliminou seja trucidado logo na ronda seguinte. Veja-se a UEFA deste ano em que, naturalmente, torci pelos russos do Zenit contra os padeiros e carpinteiros do Glasgow Rangers (que eliminaram o Sporting). Ontem, pois, estava entusiasmado a torcer pelos turcos, quase com a mesma intensidade que torci por Portugal nos ¼ de final.

Mas isso não ficou a dever-se apenas à minha fúria anti-germânica. Teve muito a ver com a garra e vontade que aqueles turcos devotaram ao jogo. Entraram a mandar da Alemanha (e de que maneira) mostrando que estão lá pelo querer dos seus jogadores e treinador, esse grande Fatih Terim, de cognome “O Imperador”.

O que é certo é que aquela equipa, mais que remendada, com apenas 14 disponíveis, fez o que a selecção portuguesa não soube ou não quis fazer. Queriam ganhar o jogo, custe o que custasse, e lutariam até ao fim das suas forças. Portugal deveria ter este espírito, mas não tem. Porquê, perguntarão? Por uma simples razão. É que parece que agora fazemos parte dos “grandes”. Já somos gente. Temos dos melhores jogadores do mundo, nos maiores e melhores clubes do mundo. Não precisamos de ter garra porque somos vedetas. Estamos mais preocupados com o próximo contrato milionário que vamos assinar e muito pouco com o sucesso da equipa.

É, pois, senão razoável que se torça pelos mais pequenos ou pelos que, sendo grandes, têm a vontade de ganhar dos pequenos.

Ontem, senti-me mais turco que português (passe a blasfémia), tudo porque senti que aqueles reflectiam melhor a minha raça e vontade. E durante 90 minutos, senti-me bem, por “estarmos” a dar uma lição a esses prepotentes alemães.

Agora só me resta continuar neste registo, eliminado o meu caro Bilic, sejam espanhóis ou russos, o que interessa é abater os alemães.

Parabéns à Turquia! Não faz parte da UE, mas ensinou-nos, em 90 minutos, de que massa deveria ser feito um cidadão europeu.

Long time lurker, thought I would say hello! I really dont post much but thanks for the good times I have here. Love this place..

When I was hurt in that motorcycle accident my life would be changed for all time. Unfortunately that driver had no car insurance and I was going to be in pain for ever.

This was not time for me to start and guess what to do. I had to find a good accident lawyer to help me get what I needed. After all, my family was counting on me.

How lousy was it? I has bedridden for 5 months, I had to have constant care and my hospital bills went through the roof!

Gratefully, I found a good referral site to help me.

I will post more later this afternoon to tell you more about what I have been going through.

An understanding of the relevance of free casino chips must be put into its proper context: are the offers of the free chips coming from honest online casinos?


But the best indicator of an honest online casino is by personal recommendation. This also includes affiliation of such casinos into trusted casino websites and portals. If an offer of free casino chips is made by an online casino on such a site then it can probably be trusted.
Do you want to know how to take the maximum advantage of the bonuses and promotions that the different online casinos offer? onlinecasinos5.com spills the secrets of exactly how you can do it! A case study released by onlinecasinos5.com showed the following scenario that utilizes the optimal strategy to leverage your casino deposit to your advantage. This technique will work on ALL online casinos not just onlinecasinos5.com. This is what happened with an "ideal" client in this case study:

Another feature of casino slots online is the loyalty factor. Some virtual gaming sites offer bonus credits to you every time you make a deposit to your account. If you're going to play on a regular basis, it pays to sign up with a site the pays a dividend back to you. There's a myriad of online casinos available for you to choose. Take the time to investigate what's available. Take the time to learn the games you want to play. Utilize all a casino site has to offer you to help you play better. Plan your playing, plan your budget, and let the online games begin.
Online Casinos, believe it or not could be the best solution for some. I know that some of us, including me, like to go to Vegas or other places to play in their casinos, but this is not possible all the time. For all of us who do not have time, online casino gambling is the best solution.


First, never choose a casino on the sole basis of his ranking in the search engine results. They are not necessarily good rankings on how a casino. You must go through several online casino sites to compare the benefits in detail and then make a decision. For example, should offer a bonus and, if so, how much. Are there any special promotions available?


See the banking options available at an online casino and how long it usually takes them to deliver earnings. Review some Web sites that offer information on how fast an Online Casino payroll.
Online casinos are casinos hosted on websites, and hence, a player can play these casino games only by using an Internet connection. Though they are hosted virtually, online casinos include all the exciting elements of a traditional brick and mortar casinos, and in fact, are much more convenient, cheaper and easier to access than their traditional counterparts. Some of the games offered by online casinos include Baccarat, Blackjack, Craps, Roulette, Online slot games and Poker.

Bingo is a beautiful game of luck, which involves patience, rapid coordination between hearing and searching out the numbers and lots of fun. As with all gambling bingo is totally addictive and you should be careful of its grip on you!

Hey, Good morning.
I love www.blogger.com because I learned a lot here. Now it's time for me to pay back.
Why I want to post this guide on this of www.blogger.com is to help visitors solve the same problem.
Please contact me if it is off topic here.
This is the guide, hope it would help you.

Warning - Xbox is sneaking into your living room!
Xbox is an overwhelming Trojan horse.
Having conquered the PC software world, Microsoft now seems intent on sneaking a PC into your living room. But do keep easy - with a front-loading disc tray, two buttons, and four controller ports adorning the face, the monstrous gadget will look at right at home among your other home-theater components.
Xbox looks and acts just like a video game machine--and a state-of-the-art one at that. But with built-in support for high-speed networking, an 60GB hard drive, DVD playback capabilities, and display support for HDTVs, the Xbox does more than just play games.
Xbox offers superior graphics and is the best choice for those who demand the best audio and video performance from a system and have the A/V components, including a surround-sound package, to complement it. Well, maybe a versatile Xbox video converter is needed, too, if you want to put any formats of video or audio files into your Xbox.
Video enthusiasts will appreciate that the Xbox works not only with standard 4:3 TVs but with HDTVs as well. If you have an HD-ready set, you can set the Xbox to output 480p, 720p, and 1,080i signals in either normal or wide-screen (16:9) aspect ratios for your games.
The Xbox is capable of producing 1,080i images, but the games themselves, such as Halo and Dead or Alive 3, haven't been optimized for that high a level yet. Still, the images are crisp and sharp.
A nice complement to this visual horsepower is the fact that the Xbox supports 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound and deliver 256 simultaneous voice channels--previously unheard of in a game system. All of this adds up to some of the richest, most realistic experiences we've yet to see in video games.
Another fringe benefit is the ability to drop audio CDs into the unit and copy songs to the drive. You can then use the console to play your music rather than fumbling for your CDs.
As for Xbox video converter, Xilisoft Xbox Converter is recommended here. The newly released Xbox video converter can convert your regular PC video files (AVI, MPEG, WMV, MOV, MP4, RM, RMVB, DivX, ASF, VOB, 3GP, FLV) to Xbox/Xbox 360 video, as well as convert them to MP3, WMA and WAV music with high conversion speed. Compared with other Xbox video converter and Xbox 360 video converter, Xilisoft Xbox Converter allows you to customize detailed parameters like bit rate, sample rate, channels, video quality, aspect ratio to improve video quality for better playback with Xbox.

The company provides 1 distinct [url=http://muachunggiatot.com/thoi-trang.html]nhom mua gia re[/url] for every working day in each of the marketplaces it serves. The Groupon performs as an assurance settlement using ThePoint's system: if a particular variety of individuals signal up for the offer you, then the supply gets available to all if the predetermined bare minimum is not reached, no one particular gets the supply that doing work working day. This minimizes risk for shops, who can manage the price cut codes as amount reductions as appropriately as merchandise sales advertising and marketing equipment. Groupon tends to make cash by making an attempt to hold about fifty p.c the cash flow the customer pays for the coupon.

For circumstance in position, an $eighty massage could be acquired by the buyer for $40 through Groupon, and then Groupon and the retailer would break up the $forty. That is, the retailer offers a therapeutic massage valued at $eighty and gets roughly $twenty from Groupon for it (beneath a 50%/fifty% break up). Or, if $240 really worth of home portray vendors is obtained by the customer for $50 via Groupon, then the firm will get $25 and Groupon retains $twenty five. The buyer gets the massage, or the house painting support, in these illustrations, from the retailer for which they at 1st paid out out $forty (or $50) to Groupon. There are specified businesses to which Groupon originally did not provide you its options, like capturing ranges and strip golf equipment even so, taking pictures ranges have been showcased on Groupon.

In distinction to categorised marketing and advertising, the merchant does not shell out any upfront value to take part: Groupon collects non-public data from ready consumers and then contacts only folks customers, largely by each day e-mail, who could probably be fascinated in a distinctive merchandise or solutions.

Groupon employs a substantial sum of copywriters who draft descriptions for the offers highlighted by e-mail and on the internet site. Groupon's marketing textual content for the 'deals' has been discovered as a contributing aspect to the recognition of the site, showcasing a distinct blend of complete reality-inspecting and witty humor.

Owing to Groupon's marketplace getting to be primarily composed of female consumers, the deals are typically targeted on the total wellness, bodily physical fitness and class marketplaces.

There are attainable difficulties with the company product. For case in stage, a successful offer could briefly swamp a little business with as well numerous customers, jeopardizing a likelihood that purchasers will be dissatisfied, or that there will not be sufficient answer to satisfy the demand from customers. Gap, a massive clothing retailer, was capable to offer with 445,000 coupon codes in a countrywide deal (although it seasoned server difficulties at one particular distinct placement), but a scaled-down business could flip out to be out of the blue flooded with customers. 1 coffee shop in Portland, Oregon struggled with an increase in buyers for a number of months, when it bought in close proximity to to one,000 Groupons on the 1 functioning day it was offered, in accordance to a solitary report. In reaction to connected troubles, Groupon officials condition that 'deal' subscriptions want to be capped in progress to a realistic range.
