In turmoil over the world cup

Ignore the last post, I can't do this. I have more friends and family in England than Germany, the commentators are not the fault of the England fans PLUS I've just looked again at the photo of my lifelong friend Karen's 2 little boys as they eagerly awaited the game. Oh, and they're being utterly thrashed and I always support the underdog. I like supporting ABE (anyone but England) but only to a point. It's a bit of fun but I have this really strong guilt complex and I don't like seeing people disappointed. Mind you, Germany will be disappointed if THEY lose. Oh I'm all at sixes and sevens over this one! And England have just scored so they're back in with a shout. And they've just had a "goal" disallowed so if they lose they can always claim they was robbed. I think I should stop watching!

Germany vs England today

My mate Dave from Liverpoooool (who runs this World Cup website) lives in Berlin with his lovely partner Kordula from Deutschland. I was telling him I'd love to be a fly on the wall in their house today. He sent me this photo. Apparently this is how the pair will be until 3 o'clock on the dot and then the gloves are off!

So, anyway I've had to think long and hard about who I'm supporting today. No, really, I have! I lived in Germany as a child. But then again I lived in England as a child. My sister was born in Germany but my other sister was born in England. I have a Higher German but of course I have Higher English too. My brother lived in Berlin for a few years. Ah but he lived in London too. What to do? And then a friend reminded me that it was Germany who were good enough to bail out Greece. So, on those grounds and those grounds only, I say to you:

C'mon Deutschland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
