- mannschaft musings -

Finally had the chance to cheer on a team that has played a decent game in the World Cup... Though i sat there with clenched everything for a while, hoping they weren't going to blow it (like another team i know) and lose 3-1, but Germany went from good to brilliant, and even 4-0 was good enough for me... Jeeha!!

Wondering what my Australian/Austrian friend (long story...) thought of the match - her hatred of anything German knows no bounds... Oh well, that's for Monday. For now i'll enjoy the afterglow like the Dutch did yesterday... (very weird post apocalypse scenes yesterday, when i went to pick up Polly from a - very football-weary- friend, with no cars on the road...)

And for my pleasure entirely: Michael Ballack
