Germany v England: ending the only way it could

So you meet a friendly chatty British guy at a bar. Say you'd like to have him go bezerk and attack you with the gherkin fork? All you have to do is ask him what was the best part of the 1990 World Cup. Such is the history of Germany v England. The curse did not reverse today. And British fans were clearly the least surprised of the outcome.

Germany came out strong and maintained pressure the entire game. England had no answer for Ozil in the middle of the field. I would analyze this more, but what is there to say? It was a thumping.

This no-goal would have been a crying shame for Sneakey Peakey if the game ended 2-1. But it didn't now, did it?

Once the game is a blowout, the lenses of the cameras tend to get a nasty case of lazy eye...

Take a wild guess who's team is winning? Tip to the airmen: next time to play your mortal soccer enemy, leave the war outfit at home and bring the girlfriends instead. (Unless you have chainmail, that never gets old)

Tomorrow we have Netherlands crushing Slovakia (thanks for beating Italy and all, but here's a face-full of Dutch wingers for you!) followed by a very interesting match-up of Brazil v Chile. Brazil, who scored 5 fewer goals on North Korea than Portugal and Chile, whose younger players have all spent some quality time being tasered and dumped in the Toronto jail. Juicy indeed.

Dental Hygenius, Ukari, Hall, and Burg: good luck.
