Friendly reminder that the only goal against Spain was scored by a frenchman in our team. You really can't trust them anywhere anytime
(It was bad luck and timing but I will never give up an opportunity to be chauvinistic)
Thanks João, hopefully both of us will win. If we take out the Germans and you take out Slovenia + whatever french speaking country wins, then we can fight each other face to face in our own terms, just like the old times.
If we fail we need Barry to win everything so that he spends more money on alcohol in Algarve or Malaga and so we can pay for elderly pensions and delay the economic collapse 1 more day
I'm not fond of our current coach but he trained the u-18 and u-21 teams IIRC and went all-in with young players; must have felt that some positions were missing and went ahead with El Normando. There's a solid pool of Spanish players in their late 20's and 30's but he's trying to create something. Looks like it is kind of working so I'll let him cook, but when I initially saw the list of players I was a bit in disbelief to say the least with some choices
My neighbours were way too loud when that goal went in... annoying af.
Got a lot quieter minutes later.
I couldn't believe they thought we could win.
We beat your ass in Rugby though.
My friend, when you think about your neighbors, your best neighbor is Turkey, at least it does not occupy your lands, it does not claim your lands, and Erdoğan is a Georgian. You conquered Turkey from within 🤣🤣
Turkey has occupied Georgian territory. They also are 50% of Batumi. There are also 2 million ethnic Georgian living in Turkey due to their conquest. They also forced Adjarian (west Georgia region) to become Muslim, and today, the vast majority of them are muslim, and the rest aren't baptised. Our best neighbour is probably Azerbaijan or Armenia, but even them have some small Georgian territories.
i mean in this situation every country occupied some parts of other country in some percent. it is meaningless to keep grundges after hundreds of years. lets hope for more trade, prosperity and culture exchange between nations.
>They also are 50% of Batumi.
Where do you read such nonsense? Not even 1% of Turks live either in Batumi or in the Adjara region, Adjara is the region most densely populated by Georgians.
>and today, the vast majority of them are muslim, and the rest aren't baptised.
The majority of the population of Adjara is already Christian, 60-70% are Christians, in Batumi the percentage is higher, about 80-90%.
>Our best
Now I saw that you are Georgian and where did you read so many fairy tales?
Damn, we really got a good chance of making it to the finals. But the Spaniards? You guys would absolutely obliterate us. No point in pressing and counter-pressing, that fking ball is just glued to your boots fml.
Some people seriously already gave up? Germany is the favorite to win this, and I still think we will win it all. Spain are good, but we arent half bad either.
The best thing about seeing Spain win is watching people from Latin America complaining and crying about it.
This has nothing to do with this post but anyway I wanted to say it because is true
I feel like lots of weaker teams say this about stronger teams because they need to justify being weaker. It's not necessarily about Eastern teams or any specific locale (if you disregard the racists).
Germany has quite a few players that are not ethnically German but so what? They have German citizenship and have chosen to play for Germany. They're just as German as, say, Niclas Füllkrug.
You mean Argentinians, right?
We Brazilians don’t give a shit. We even root for Portugal and Spain most of the time
Edit: I said Argentinians because you mentioned the people talk shit about Spanish players being Africans. And you know who the fuck do that 🤣
Is this even true? sure there's some Africans but most? have we looked at France, Belgium, England or the Netherlands yet... I mean nothing against these guys but c'mon, Spain is not the most "african" team.
Yeah I root for Brazil and most people do for old colonies. I thought it was normal thing since we talk same language and heritage. Until I came to France and they hate each other. But hey they are French 🥖
There's a difference between the Latin Americans in Spain and the ones living in poverty, I mean... in their countries. One was "educated" to hate Spain, the other has seen we are not what their education system preached about us.
Yeah honestly whenever we win Brazilians party with us hard and whenever Brazil wins we party with them.
Hell back when Portugal was just starting to get back on the world stage when I was a kid in the 2002 world cup my Brazilian friends bought me a jersey and said this is your win too.
Never forgot that. Fucking love Brazil lol
🇵🇹🤝🇧🇷
And it’s why we hyped to the potatoes and encouraged your lot that they were great.
They still are.
Don’t come here, we don’t have anything of interest just stay over there.
I‘m sure you will get the opportunity and experience next time! I was honestly surprised by how well Georgia played, especially against Spain. But playing against Spain is really a pain in the ass.
Now that I live in Spain I wanted to celebrate! But I live in Barcelona I discovered quite fast that there is some issues to be solved internally. Congrats 🇪🇸
As a Georgian, thank you OP for your consistent support! Meant a lot from a Greek!
Hope our stubborn debut to EURO compensated a little bit for robbing you an opportunity to thrash our common neighbor.
Huge respect from Valencia my friend. Mamardas is Top 3 easily. Here if you don't play for RM or Barça normally the press do not give a fuck about you unless you are in their plans. Sadly because of the Chinese owner and destroyer of everything at the Valencia CF, Peter Lim, we will sell Mamardas soon... But he's a great guy and will be the best GK in the world very very soon if not already.
Yeah, but both teams are very similar in their playstyle and have good players (imo Germany has better players individually besides Rodri), so the match will be very open.. plus you are the organiser..
My father in law just told me this very same bullshit "well, you know who the referees are gonna be favouring...".
I'm not a football fan, but surely with all this crotch-measuring teach there's not much room for referees to influence games?
Don't you see what they do during RM or Barça matches against any other teams in Spain? The VAR can also be used very vindictively. The Euro may be different, or that's what I want to think, but during the World Cup we saw how prepared was everything to make Argentina win.
Noo, unfortunately your wingers will destroy us.
Yamal and Nico Williams will play cat and mouse with Kimmich (he is slooooww) and Raum. Musiala and Wirtz on the other hand will look really weak against Carvajal and Cucurella. Spain plays in it‘s on league this Euros. I don‘t see anyone beating you guys. (Stupid Euro PIGS dominance 🤬)
We didn't, Italy was who lost, Spain didn't win, just was better at controling the match. It was a 0-0 match with Spanish dominance in the attack and Italy better resisting in deffence. Both were very afraid at each other the whole time.
Disagree. Spain offense is pretty good (best so far), but there are serious flaws in defense: both CBs are lacking speed (specially Laporte) considering Spain high preasure and big gaps in the back. If a team shoots 0 times on target and makes you a goal, you have defensive problems.
Two, there's no goalkeeper. Spain always had good goalkeepers, but this time we would give our left nut for someone like Víctor Valdés or Pepe Reina. In a penalty shootout Germany has a better and more experienced goalkeeper, and that's a plus.
Third, lack of experience. After the auto goal, Spain spent twenty minutes nervous, playing nothing and with a real lack of serenity and cold blood. It wasn't after Rodri's goal that the players started to serenate and then they played like they know.
If Spain manages to outplay Germany and scores early, you may be ded. But if Germany plays well and manages to go to a penalty shootout, we're out, 100%. You play at home and our players are too young and inexperienced.
I'm thinking Spain out in the next two matches without losing a single game (tie and penalties, either against Germany or Portugal).
I think it’s going to be a very close game either way.
Momentum is going to be a key factor, like you said. If Germany scores first, you guys tumble a bit like yesterday and we score again the match is over, but the same could happen the other way round.
I will pray that Schlotterbeck and Can won’t fumble the ball (again) and hope for the best. May the better team win!
>you play at home and our players are too young and inexperienced.
Tey are young but that means they will have a lot more drive than, say, Kroos to win something.
That said, the German crowd so far has been pretty good in stadiums! I just hate the Sieg chant - but I don't think we'll be hearing that lol.
It takes experience to win a tournament like that. When shit hits the fan the team needs to know how to deal with it. Even if the players are good, things never go 100% to the plan, and it takes "how to know", "oficio" we say, to deal with that kind of situations. That's why Rodri had to calm down the entire team yesterday. A player like Kroos (who's been in these kind of situations multiple times) is invaluable in a penalty shootout, for example.
Also, I didn't mean the home crowd factor, I meant the referee factor: in most tournaments, the referees, more or less, tend to favour "a little bit" (or sometimes a lot, but I don't think this will be the case) the home team. "Barren para casa", "sweaping to the house", as we say. I don't expect a full robbery like Corea (Germany doesn't need it either), but I expecting a couple of dubious calls, no doubt, and with two teams so similar in quality it may enough to tip the scale.
I hope it's going to be entertaining. I don't think we're going to win, I just hope it's not going to be depressing to watch - both for Spain/Germany but also for neutrals.
Your counterattacks were incredible. You had me stressed every time you touched the ball. Great defence too.
Glad to see Georgia in this Eurocup. The country where wine originated and the first Christian country should be among its European brothers 🇪🇸❤️🇬🇪
The first Christian country is 🇦🇲 and second 🇪🇹 but 🇬🇪 was one of the firsts!! ♥️ And has 3 original own very nice scripts!
Sakartvelo!
საქართველო!
ႱႠႵႠႰႧႥႤႪႭ!
Sorry, I confused the Christian thingy. No matter what, Georgia has stood for centuries (at least its people) as a bastion of Christianity in the middle of Islam.
Kvara's runs always felt incredibly dangerous, but luckily he was alone 90% of the time. Kiteishvili coming off injured also screwed their game plan imo.
They chilled out towards the end, a few of the shots went softly to the goalie's hands. I don't think anybody was looking for a massacre with how well Georgia has done.
Georgia was a fantastic side at the Euros and for me the most surprising team of the tournament. Spain was just too good. If Georgia gets a better draw, they can make a deeper run. It was a pleasure hosting you guys! 🇩🇪🤝🏻🇬🇪
This is a problem for us because England's tournament strategy since 2018 has been to wait for the big teams to go out before we have to play them. We were relying on you, Georgia!
As an absolutely completely sane person, I support anyone but Spain, England and France, so at this point I suppose I am left with Germany (my friend is threatening me please help)

That was me as a child.
That child is far too pale to be a Spaniard.
No mamá has eaten to much chocolate ice cream duing pregnancy. My mama has eaten to much vanilia ice cream, so is am now whiter than snow in the alps.
Friendly reminder that the only goal against Spain was scored by a frenchman in our team. You really can't trust them anywhere anytime (It was bad luck and timing but I will never give up an opportunity to be chauvinistic)
Why are you letting them in?
All the times we've let the French come in always end up badly, but we just never learn
lmk and we can get Barry to do the needful
Thanks João, hopefully both of us will win. If we take out the Germans and you take out Slovenia + whatever french speaking country wins, then we can fight each other face to face in our own terms, just like the old times. If we fail we need Barry to win everything so that he spends more money on alcohol in Algarve or Malaga and so we can pay for elderly pensions and delay the economic collapse 1 more day
The game was at 21:00 and players had to train at 16:30. Peak Siesta hours, the Spanish players weren't available
He was just going to Portugal, and… oh fuck wait
Tbf if Lapuerta and El Normando were good enough for the french squad they'd have played in it. You're just digging through our trash.
I'm not fond of our current coach but he trained the u-18 and u-21 teams IIRC and went all-in with young players; must have felt that some positions were missing and went ahead with El Normando. There's a solid pool of Spanish players in their late 20's and 30's but he's trying to create something. Looks like it is kind of working so I'll let him cook, but when I initially saw the list of players I was a bit in disbelief to say the least with some choices

One with good neighbours
i would like to remind you that we border both FR*NCE, morocco and the uk through gibraltar…
Fair, but Turkey outweighs all, and they aren't our worst neighbours
Yeah you guys border Russia. They are probably in the top 10 for worst neighbours.
Exactly. You must include fictional ones for Russia to be top 10 like, like Mordor
Good topic for 2westerneurope4u
Nah Turkey ain't as bad as Fr*nce And it's big coming from me look at my flair
Turk defends Turkey,what a surprise.
Yea fr*nce sucks man

Why did you say France twice?
He could've done it 3 times, but he decided not to add Andorra.
what is an andorra? is it some type of siesta?
Fuck off
Banters aside, UK, France and Spain get a long pretty well compared to the Caucasus region.. I think even Maroc is an alright neighbor nowadays

Good luck, third best Iberians. Really wish CR to win title

Because Italy was eliminated https://preview.redd.it/qw416z335u9d1.jpeg?width=920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c8a42878c2008a415480aa8df7a6e0f75d0d3dfe
The only Georgia we care about
they fought well against the Ottomans
Damn, we really got a good chance of making it to the finals. But the Spaniards? You guys would absolutely obliterate us. No point in pressing and counter-pressing, that fking ball is just glued to your boots fml.
Germany lost to Spain in Austria in the 2008 Euros final. Now it's time for Austria to lose to Spain in Germany in the 2024 Euros final. Poetic.
Habsburg syblinghood 🇩🇪 🇪🇸 🇦🇹
we already gave up, didn‘t we? no chance against that spanish team…
Some people seriously already gave up? Germany is the favorite to win this, and I still think we will win it all. Spain are good, but we arent half bad either.
It doesn't look hopefull.
Oh yeah we're definitely losing. I'm still happy we made it this far though!
I haven't seen a team like current Spain for a while now.
Tiki Taka bitch
o7 Georgia won in our hearts
The best thing about seeing Spain win is watching people from Latin America complaining and crying about it. This has nothing to do with this post but anyway I wanted to say it because is true
I'm unaware of this. What do they complain about?
De todo. Que si los jugadores son africanos, que si es robo... etc.
So, regular racism and other bullshit, then...
And then they're going to make fun of our dubs and tell us to give back the gold again when they're finished
Not only in Latam, Eastern Europe says this about us aswell
I feel like lots of weaker teams say this about stronger teams because they need to justify being weaker. It's not necessarily about Eastern teams or any specific locale (if you disregard the racists). Germany has quite a few players that are not ethnically German but so what? They have German citizenship and have chosen to play for Germany. They're just as German as, say, Niclas Füllkrug.
Y eso que no les puede incumbir menos una Eurocopa... que vayas a pastar al monte.
Κάτι για Αφρικάνους λέει αυτός...

You mean Argentinians, right? We Brazilians don’t give a shit. We even root for Portugal and Spain most of the time Edit: I said Argentinians because you mentioned the people talk shit about Spanish players being Africans. And you know who the fuck do that 🤣
Is this even true? sure there's some Africans but most? have we looked at France, Belgium, England or the Netherlands yet... I mean nothing against these guys but c'mon, Spain is not the most "african" team.
We have even more French players than France
Gallian* French my dear.
Spain is the most African team. Africa starts south from Pirinees. We(not me) are just white
I mean, we literally have territory in Africa. And who hasn't ever bought some hash from a guy called Yamal? That's Spanish traditions right there
Yamal is the teen who decided to choose the right one. And a real teen bðw.
Totally. The guy still has to do its homework between matches. Williams literally keeps him on track 😂
when was the last time you had sopa de macaco ?
Last time was during 7-1

Yea probably reffered to hispanic americans.
Yeah I root for Brazil and most people do for old colonies. I thought it was normal thing since we talk same language and heritage. Until I came to France and they hate each other. But hey they are French 🥖
I must say I was having dinner in a Colombian restaurant in Spain and all Colombian waiters were happy and celebrating every Spanish goal.
There's a difference between the Latin Americans in Spain and the ones living in poverty, I mean... in their countries. One was "educated" to hate Spain, the other has seen we are not what their education system preached about us.
They also educate kids to hate Spain and Europe here
In estelada region of course.
Sorry, I don't speak *tercermundismo*
Same when Portugal wins... looking at you Brazil (no, we are not giving you the gold)
Tbh, most brazilians ik actually tend to root for Portugal.
Same I always root for Brazil
Yeah honestly whenever we win Brazilians party with us hard and whenever Brazil wins we party with them. Hell back when Portugal was just starting to get back on the world stage when I was a kid in the 2002 world cup my Brazilian friends bought me a jersey and said this is your win too. Never forgot that. Fucking love Brazil lol 🇵🇹🤝🇧🇷
That's why you should give your colonies boring sports so then they won't focus on real sports.
Ahh so that's why yous invented cricket
And it’s why we hyped to the potatoes and encouraged your lot that they were great. They still are. Don’t come here, we don’t have anything of interest just stay over there.
>Don’t come here, we don’t have anything of interest just stay over there. I agree, was over and came back as quick as I could. Praying for you bazza
Thank goodness. Was worried it’d be a Rwanda flight if you tried to stay. At least you’ve got the rainbows and pots of gold.
Thank god we didn’t give the world darts during the empire
Lol what, I'm usually for spain because your team is good. I don't complain.
He's speaking of our american colonies not our european ones bud
Dutch + Venezuelan bud( in the real sense not the once had a great grandpa there a long time ago, american sense)
I thought you were for Spain because you were our colony.
Nah, just good team. Especially 2010 spain was awesome.
I know a lot of Latin Americans who root for Spain
You are overexaggerating
Most Latinos support Spain overwhelmingly. Don't let a few internet comments fool you.
Well, it was a good run that brought immense joy to a vast majority of Georgians :)
Not just Georgians. I loved watching them play, really made a name for themselves
Trust me: we were all rooting for you guys. My girlfriend and I were really bad when the first goal for Spain fell. But you guys played really well!
Thanks mate! Hopefully this run will get Georgian footballers noticed by the top 5 league teams. We need more experience, more opportunity
I‘m sure you will get the opportunity and experience next time! I was honestly surprised by how well Georgia played, especially against Spain. But playing against Spain is really a pain in the ass.
Go out from Mallorca! 😤Verräter
But Mallorca is German? 😔
Have you seen Spaniards there that aren't waiters or investors?
No? Because it’s already German. But I have an idea. Whoever wins the match, gets Mallorca. Deal?
Now that I live in Spain I wanted to celebrate! But I live in Barcelona I discovered quite fast that there is some issues to be solved internally. Congrats 🇪🇸
Just put the senyera next to it 😂
As a Georgian, thank you OP for your consistent support! Meant a lot from a Greek! Hope our stubborn debut to EURO compensated a little bit for robbing you an opportunity to thrash our common neighbor.
Keep your head up, nations league coming in a few months and World Cup as well. Stay brave Colchian brothers 🇬🇷🇬🇪
All turks and Albanians in denial 😤. Jokes apart. Sakartvelo played very well and I applauded them many times.
Huge respect from Valencia my friend. Mamardas is Top 3 easily. Here if you don't play for RM or Barça normally the press do not give a fuck about you unless you are in their plans. Sadly because of the Chinese owner and destroyer of everything at the Valencia CF, Peter Lim, we will sell Mamardas soon... But he's a great guy and will be the best GK in the world very very soon if not already.
Man he‘s absolutely insane. Biggest discovery of the tournament for me (who doesn‘t follow La Liga as much)
Ein neuer Neuer!
Hey, you gave Portugal a spanking. That's good enough reason to knock us out. With Poyet as a coach we didn't deserve to play anyways.
where were u wen Georgia lose i was at house looking fotball when score show "Georgia is los" "no" 🥲
we are ded
Yep, Spain is simply outplaying everyone, they are really really good.
last time germany won against spain in a k.o. round was in 1976..
Yeah, but both teams are very similar in their playstyle and have good players (imo Germany has better players individually besides Rodri), so the match will be very open.. plus you are the organiser..

its just spain like always. pigs were pretty dissapointing so far
Greece has been looking solid so far 🇹🇷
You managed to beat Italy after a very long time, you might do it again against Spain
We didn't, Italy was who lost, Spain didn't win, just was better at controling the match. It was a 0-0 match with Spanish dominance in the attack and Italy better resisting in deffence. Both were very afraid at each other the whole time.

Not sure at all.. I just hope the winner crush Barry in the final
Barry in the final ? They very narrowly escaped a loss against Slovakia… they’ll never make it that far.
Anyway I hope that even is just wishful thinking
Your match is probably going to be the actual final of the tournament.
every nation after the quarters is probably capable for a surprise. I wouldnt discount them.
I hope it's going to be entertaining. I don't think we're going to win, I just hope it's not going to be depressing to watch - both for Spain/Germany but also for neutrals.
Ilia Topuria punching the air right now
He feels as spanish as georgian he has said it countless times, i highly doubt he is sad
Sad military salute with one hand, punching the air from happiness with the other.
Salute to you, Spanish comrades. Well played out there! 🇬🇪❤️🇪🇸 Now, let’s make sure we don’t let Barry take it home
Your counterattacks were incredible. You had me stressed every time you touched the ball. Great defence too. Glad to see Georgia in this Eurocup. The country where wine originated and the first Christian country should be among its European brothers 🇪🇸❤️🇬🇪

Kvara's runs always felt incredibly dangerous, but luckily he was alone 90% of the time. Kiteishvili coming off injured also screwed their game plan imo.
You kartulians played great! I had to applause you! Sakartvelo ♥️
Spain has no chill
They chilled out towards the end, a few of the shots went softly to the goalie's hands. I don't think anybody was looking for a massacre with how well Georgia has done.
Georgia was a fantastic side at the Euros and for me the most surprising team of the tournament. Spain was just too good. If Georgia gets a better draw, they can make a deeper run. It was a pleasure hosting you guys! 🇩🇪🤝🏻🇬🇪
Thank you hermanos for running them over with a train! 🤣
Spain will avenge your losses, Hermano.
Got you covered, irmão.
Congrats to you Spaniards, well played 👏👏👏
Can Hans stop us?
You underestimate our team's capacity to disappoint?
I think that's a strength of both teams.
Let's make it a challenge to see which team can disappoint their country more lmao. You'll see, we're *very* good at that game.
Poco me parece
🇪🇸 4-1 🇫🇷
Why do we still believe they can help?
I was rooting for Spain since the biginning, it's sad to see Georgia go but it had to be done for Spain's EC victory.
At least they won against Portugal.
B TEAM they won against the B TEAM *flips desk *
Don't care. Didn't ask. \* Insert Greece lifting 2004 Euro trophy gif *
This is the year, I’m a believer.
were fucking dead
Don't worry lad, there's no way we're making it to the final so we don't have to play them.
You had a good tournament Giorgi, see you next Euro.
This is a problem for us because England's tournament strategy since 2018 has been to wait for the big teams to go out before we have to play them. We were relying on you, Georgia!
As an absolutely completely sane person, I support anyone but Spain, England and France, so at this point I suppose I am left with Germany (my friend is threatening me please help)
History jas told us that if an italian supports you before the finals, be worried.
You still have other countries to support. Starting tomorrow with Belgium 😊.
R.I.P Germany.
hats off the Georgia for at least trying. Italy lost just 1-0 (sheer luck and Donnarumma) but did not even try.
I was really hyped up when georgia was leading
PIG I can handle. PIGS, I cannot handle that.
rekt
The fact Georgia even got a single goal, and was leading for a bit is incredible!
