Who to support...

...when two of my least favourite teams (apart from Australia - what a delight their game against Italy was) are playing each other? Argentina or Germany? May the best team win? Certainly not. May the team England will have the least poor prospects against in the unlikely even that they need a hotel in Munich next weekend? Certainly, and that's Germany, although it will be a pleasure to see Ballack's smug face leaving the field for the last time.
I've been hoping for semi finals of:
Ukraine vs Germany
and
England (obviously) vs France
What's the betting I've named the four sides to be eliminated over the next two days!
Ooh, Argie keeper injured and being replaced, Ballack claiming the game should continue with the goalie on the floor...
Do you get the impression not a lot is happening over at the moment? You'd be right. We seem to be in monsoon season (not well known in NS), but there seems to be so much water in the sky, it's surprising there's any left in the ocean!
Tomorrow is Canada Day, clashes very badly with England - Portugal and has caused minor tension in the household until it became clear I would not buckle and go and join the masses in town, instead, the pub with other men of a similar disposition.
Argentines dropping like flies, time wasting. Germans throwing in a dive or two of their own. Hilarious. Hopefully Ellie and Thomas will continue to amuse each other for another 15 minutes.
