With Germany Down 2 Goals To Italy, Merkel Cancels Press Conference
No, we are not making this up:
- MERKEL CANCELS SUMMIT PRESS CONFERENCE TONIGHT
- MERKEL SPOKESMAN SAYS TALKS ON GROWTH ACCORD ONGOING
In other news, Germany is down 0:2 to Italy right now, with the name of the guy scoring the second goal for Italy suspiciously close to Bailoutelli.
Some US-based readers can watch the game at the ESPN3 link below.

NEIN!!!!
Wow 2 goals scored in 1 game, by the same team no less!
Is this a record for the EuroTrash Soccer Championships?
It's actually been quite a good tournament! I've enjoyed it.
Just because you Yanks arent happy unless the scoreline is 42 - 68 and there are fireworks, cheerleaders, ad-breaks and giant sodas any time someone scores ;)
The Italians will win the futbol game but they will be crushed in the bond market game. Same for Spain. Eurocup doesn NOT = Eurobond.
thank God for small mercies!
Two great goals. Chapeau, Italy!
now they'll never get a bailout, you dare beat the masters! Who do you think you are?
Wait, may be there's more to this...
anyone know what the odds/payout is?
Sore loser, perhaps?
I like the jiggly stuff.
We get tired of seeing grown men writhing on the ground (and not just talking about Greek elected officials) and then miraculously being cured when 2 guys show up next to them with a stretcher.
Better than hooligans, riots, and skinny guys running up and down a field bouncing balls off their heads
Come on Germany
They need a comeback like the DJ this afternoon
The symbol for UVXY is being changed to AIDS
Canceling press conferences is BULLISH!!!
yup, 150 points worth.
Yup yup.....only stocks surging, nothing else moving. Sounds about right nowadays.
Speaking of bullish news, Alien invasion bitchez!!
http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2012/06/28/most-americans-believe-government-keeps-ufo-secrets-survey-finds
As it turns out, the idea of aliens and UFOs isn't that farfetched to most Americans.
Here are some of the survey's most surprising findings:
-More than three quarters (77 percent) of those surveyed believe there are signs that aliens have visited Earth, and over half (55 percent) think Men in Black-style agents threaten those who report seeing them.
-More than a third (36 percent) believe aliens have already visited.
-Eighty percent believe the government has hidden information on UFOs from the public.
-Nearly two thirds (65 percent) think President Obama would be a better leader than Mitt Romney if an alien invasion were to happen.
-When it comes to superheroes, 21 percent think the Hulk would be their first call in an invasion, 12 percent would call Batman, and 8 percent say Spider-Man's their guy.
-In the event of an invasion, the respondents themselves would leave the fighting to superheroes and presidents, it seems--about a fourth said they would try to befriend the aliens, 13 percent said they would hide indoors, and just 5 percent said they'd try to "inflict bodily harm" on the invaders.
-Just 17 percent of those polled did not belive in UFOs; about half said they were unsure.
May be we can try to sell them some italian debit.... :D
2-0 at halftime is the equvilant of a football score of 14-0 after Q1. You would probably thnk that was a great football game,
2-0 at half is like 35-0 in NFL
So, not just economics then?
Unfortunately for you, it usually takes real work and persistence to achieve a goal. Or would you prefer if the goal lines were 1 yard apart.
And it's 'foot' 'ball'.
The winner is allowed to keep the Euro currency, the user has to introduce his own!

i understand that ZH does not moderate but this human trash should go.
Kick out the spammers.
no, w e do not read more here. Y o u fuck off.
It will be soon if the Germans play as badly in the second half.
The world is blowing apart and these idiots heading up Europe care more about F-ing soccer.....
that's pretty bang on...
... i just got back from spain and i was amazed how cheap everything is over there now... seems quite deflationary - Perhaps that is the answer to this supposedely unworkable euro without fiscal union stuff... people in less productive places, earn less and pay less for local services... oh and default on debts that cant be paid...
...crazy idea
...but yeah - they were going mental for the football in spain.... many resturants and shops were empty
She just doesn't know how else to explain to the boneheaded millionth time that THERE WILL BE NO EUROBONDS BACKED BY GERMANY....
dead right.
but what if Spain says pleeez?
Italy won the soccer game and now Germany will say fuck you to ANY bailout in the future. Ha ha ha. This shit is fucked.
Germany can't win anything. They can't win a war, they can win at football, but they can pay for other people's welfare. Bend over Germany!
Mario Balotelli is a modern day Jesse Owens.
Mario Balotelli, doesn't he run a chain of soul food joints in Harlem?
I thought he was that croc-wearing dude on Iron Chef. Not that I watch it, just what I've heard.
You watch it I know. That obese red haired Irish looking dude with the orange crocs is actually really Italian dude. Giada somethingorother
Obese Irish looking dude should NEVER be said in the same breath as Giada.
Contributor help me out?
pods
Gaida = Cooking deity.
I believe he is an obese 'Iron Chef'.
Didn't he have to close those restaurants after he crapped on his clients (Wall Street) when he sided with the Occupiers?
and Angela is Hitler at the Euro Olympics!

Italians play dirty football and enact Shakespearean plays on the field. It's not even fun to watch.
CALL NEIN ONE ONE!
And ES pops 2+.
Bullish, bitchez
/sarc/
Spain vs. Italy in finals. Makes you wonder if German public opinion will be even more against a bailout of those countries. Good luck with that...
Spain vs. Italy in finals only if Angela und Sachauble agree...
Priorities, Bitchez!
Look at that ramp up. Incredible!
Merkel bet her backing of Euro-bonds on the game.
There are some things more important in life than economic and fiscal policy; like soccer.
Exactly! Football BITCHEZ!! ;-)
another fucking ramp attempt.
why isnt on a down day that stocks cant just finish at their lows
Why that would totally dilute what little of the Hopium we have left!
I'll take Charlie Weaver for the block!
I didn't realize she was such a soccer (football) fan.
Germans can sometimes be sore losers though.
yeah like you don't see much of that with the soccer crowd.
And here comes the asisnine ramp job.
WHEEEEE!!!
Ramp?
Moonshot.
Ok whatsa the latest fucking rumor now?
Merkel sex tape ....
ugggg...I'm trying to picture that in my mind but it won't even focus.
I didn't catch the whole story from the audio feed from my news source but it was something about changes that would help Spain and Italy. The part I did catch was that it was nothing more than a rehash of an earlier report, but the market ramped on it anyway. I had just reentered a couple of quick FX shorts based on the Merkel cancellation. Then out of the blue came the ramp. Took me right out. I just gotta believe these reports and late day ramps are coordinated. ES is continuing to climb heading into the bell.
Soccer - one of the best remedies for insomnia.
If Germany fails with Italy, Angela will say NEIN NEIN NIEN UND NO MORE GELD!!!
Rumors of EFSF PRIMARY market bond purchases....#btfd
bAiL-oUt-TeLLi 2 / anGeLa 0
...and Euro going vertical
gotta think a german loss can only further anger germans with regards to their PIIG brethren...mario balotelli could be the black swan!
Well he is black. That was the best goal ever! I mean the worst goal ever if you are a german.
Huge swings = death rattle, bitchez.
Hahaha the most bankrupt countries are the best at SOCCER - correlation/causation/coincidence ??
They should maybe back their bonds with soccer players ?! I'm sure Monti would love the idea, now everyone can get a piece of the ACTION !!
A bank has...

Beaten beneath Italy and Spain. How freakin ironic.
mother of europe has its responsibilities; two tits for the two beastly pigs!
Completely absorbing all the angst in Europe...how easily the chattle are hypnotized from their own demise...
GOOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!
stateside
Meanwhile - someone in a basement somewhere hit the "BUY EVERY FREAKING THING!!!!!!!" button on Fraud Street at arounf 3:30.
Just another day that ends in the letter Y for the bankster cartel.
What was the 3PM rumor today? 150 points up in 40 minutes WTF!!!
Is the meeting cancelled because Merkel was found dead, so Eurobonds could be on the table?
God, what would be the ramp if a headline of "Merkel Found Dead" hit the tape? 2000 points?
Unfuckinbelievable
Imagine my shock .... left to go to the post office at around 3:00pm and returned at 4:05 ... unfuckingreal
merkel gets bad vibes down her spine? Is it insured against black magic?
No, Monti got inside her penalty area.
GAAAAHHHH!!!
TMI!
PPT they can smell it coming.
Geez, why can't they ramp the Nasdaq ?
they got half of it back
market was oversold L0L!!
The Germans are not going to give Italy one red cent. Or is it some other unit? Send in the Kraken! This cannot abide.
Mutti braucht Zeit,
in resposne to all this talk about French PIIGS, the Germans are creating a new institute to help solve the crisis.
BOAR
Bundes Oben Anstalt fur Rettung
Monti did a muff dive for the save. Next up- Von Rumpboy
Bitchez fight, what could possibly go wrong?
italia-Espagna and eurobonds!
ITA 2 - 1 GER, ITA to advance to the final, a little sweet revenge knowing the German won't give out further paycheck :) LOL
both ITA and ESP, we may have depressed economies yet we do excel in ball kicking game!!
//correction: all the trio ITA, ESP and POR, econ may suck, but ball-kicking skills are excellent
btw in Wimbledon, an upset did happen, Nadal lost to Rosol: 7-6, 4-6, 4-6, 6-2, 4-6
@Matrix: Did you watch the game? Fck shit. Italy didn't even play football...they played the game of handball. And when the Germans got the ball the Italiens "triped and screamed". Not one single gentlemens kick-off from the Italiens during the whole match....but 10+ for Italy. Thats not football...its cheating. Go Spain go.
Maaaaan... Germany simply didn't exist!
@ youngandhealthy, nope, i just watched a glimpse of the last 10 min for my eyes were at wimbledon
i guess the Italians just applied Cattenaccio plus some tricks learned from their League ;)
yes, i also guess that any party comes out from the other half will beat them in th final.
By winning today they're going to forgo the German's paycheck :) very imprudent to play the hard ball against one's own creditor!
nein bailout-elli for italy!
'angela'
Gottendamned Italianen maccaronen merden! NEIN !!
Van BOMPUY of Brussels says there is agreement for GROWTH package of 120 Billion for eurozone. With 120 B they could grow Opium and hopium flowers in brussels ! They should ask for help from Karzai of Karzai and Karzai and CIA Banzai!
wonder if anyone notices that the look of van ROMPUY resembles very much the disgusting creature, GOLLUM in the LOTR
You can't eat soccerballs. They'll be crying when there's no meatballs for lunch.
The Euro is Toast...you dont win a game against the one who has the money...dont do it...this will be the end afaik
Merkel seen boarding her plane and leaving the summit.
Game over.
is she spending the night with black magic?
the zoo in Berlin has better looking specimen
Bailoutelli ? That's a good one :)
She will pay regardless of the 2- 1. She knows she's bailing herself. She just had to save face with the German electorate.
ps. soccer is a rapid dance of sinewy legs, and not a show of brute force ...
