Hi Jaco,
this wasn't a shock for me - the result of the Argentina game was. I did not expect Germany to advance that far - but then I also did not expect that both sides would play such a dull football yesterday.
Lets hope for a more exciting final.

Cees, with your immense predictive powers, pray what will be the outcome of Spain vs Holland?

Paul the German Octopus reckons Spain will win the final

Although he's probably only after your bikes while you're looking the other way.

He also reckons Germany will beat Uruguay, which is likely seeing as the Germans will turn up and play as a matter of pride, despite this being the most pointless of fixtures.

Holland victorious? Only if the players don't treat it as a comedy like some people do in Amsterdam.  ;)

The legend to the photo reads:
Let The Games Begin: Sunday's World Cup final inspired an Amsterdam shop to stage a miniature version of the game in its display window, using "comedy condoms" to represent soccer players from Spain and the Netherlands.

Peter,
that was easy. It was National Public Radio - the quasi government-run radio station in the USA - that put the photo on its web site!

Well, I guess Albert (Albert-230SL) and "Pago" his trusty 113 get bragging rights this time around! Viva Espana!

Nails? Haven't any left. For those in the European Event, please hope the Dutch win the finals easily, or else I might have a heart attack (like in the last 2 minutes against Uruguay).

Peter

Glad to see you're still with us  ;)
