We are in the list yet, Ian. Let us see what chance we actually have.

In 7 hours I could tell, and hopefully, smile.

Considering the Germany/Brazil score, ANYTHING could happen!

At this stage, rivalry made us to want Brazil defeated, but when they got 3 in the net already, I started to feel pity of them. The worst for those that care a lot about it, is they would have to live with that, forever. (And I cannot help there...)

Come on Germany!!! (my wife has Germany in the sweepstake).

My daughter and boyfriend (who's Dutch) went back to Durham yesterday, no doubt he's devastated?

Edited three days later to say that if I could spell Deutschland correctly, I would feel less of an idiot!

It is, to me, the most regular team as such. No individual play. Just kind of a well regulated machine at cruising speed.

A real problem, let's admit.

Since I cannot translate this faithfully, it goes in Spanish: "A Dios rogando y con el mazo dando."

"A Dios rogando y con el mazo dando."

With the aid of google translate -
"God helps those who help themselves"

Yes, kind of "Pray to God but do your job". With imagination, the sky is the limit....

Have you tried it on Dutch?, it produces really weird and confusing translations

Now it's over.
They did the necessary better. Good for them!
