... it looks like I had a crystal ball. I did hedge my bets a bit with the Germany/Italy game, but Balotelli (a man who normally can't put his own training bib on) came good and the Germans aren't quite as invincible as they wanted to believe.
I've been away for a week or so, and didn't have internet access (truth be told, I didn't want to be here in Germany when they won it), so I will post what was my honest prediction for the final.
Tight game. Italy to shut up shop. Spain to tika taka away merrily in their own half. Italy to nick a goal.
Just goes to show what thiry odd years of supporting the mighty Irons does for you.
Still, thank you Italy for making my life a bit more bearable, at least until the next World Cup. And to the guy in the filling station at the end of our street? "No, you weren't already in the final just because you beat the Greeks."
Oh, and thanks for calling me "really rather lovely". Made my day.
