BBC announcers earlier: "There were just 179 seconds between Germany's second and fourth goals. If this was a computer game Brazil would have turned off and thrown the control pad across the room."

Brilliant.

Das war ein bisschen angespannt.

Ich war am Ende besorgt. Ach, ja.

That was one serious stuffing.

The commentator was perhaps a little unwise in saying that the Germans had annihilated the Brazilians.

My son in Regina posted (according to the missus) on Facebook earlier this evening that he'd watched the movie "The Boys from Brazil" in preparation for watching the semi-final.

I think that was quite funny.

He posted later that he was off to the German Club (perhaps where caretaker hangs out?) to do a bit of reporting from there. Added he said "I love my job".

I just had an email from an associate of mine that is in Brazil at the moment on business and with another associate. They had been watching the game. Neither belongs to The Temperance League.

I was quite impressed by the paucity of mistakes in a message sent as a text by someone who was undoubtedly wazzocked.

Oh, sorry.

That was all a bit tense.
I was worried at the end. Oh yes.

Looks like that German Shirt I won at the pub may well be worth something.

So who do we all think is going to take the Argentina/Netherlands game?

Bookies have the odds in Argentina's favour...
