They think it's all over, it is now!

What a good night for football as the Bundesmachinen finally grinds to a halt proving the old adage, Neve depend on Four Spring Lahm Technique.















Oh dear I seem to have won and am feeling enormously guilty, not!

Spain by a long chalk

Okay, with 1 game to go its still neck and neck mainly because those bloody hopeless Russians couldn't score a single bloody goal. It looks like this then, green font are still contenders for 1st place, greens and pinks are in with a shout for 2nd place and blue is in with an outside chance of second place.. Third place will definitely be from the above. The booby prize will be winging its way to one of the red fonts at the bottom.

What a load of Ballacks

Farewell then to the Turks, who at least entertained and surprised us. I thought for a while that they might just turn out to be the Greece of 2008. Having burst my coupon in victory so many times this tournament, they've done it again, this time in defeat. The boring Teutons march onward despite being frank, absolutely rubbish. Klose has been crap all tournament, Lahmm may have scored to wrap thing up tonight, but as a defender he was downright dreadful. On that carp it's time to look at the third last table. Its still tight at the top but by my calculations, the winner or joint winner has to be one of those in the green font zone below.
