Somehow Germany will find a win as they also bimmin do.
The above IS NOT A LEGAL DOCUMENT. It is an opinion.

We may yet hear the horse talk.

I can stand my own despair but not others hope

What changes ever?

That commentator spent the second half telling us that Germany was finished, now he's telling us that you can never rule them out......

They won't go much further, they are a divided camp, and it shows. Sweden should have had a penalty as well. But that's VAR for you.

Shockingly clear penalty not given although hardly surprising as German ref appointed to neighbours (same language) Switzerland.  FIFA knew this!

Very odd thing to say - the refs nationality had nothing to do with it. Anyway, the Swiss don't just speak German - they have several principal languages, including French and Italian.

Err but German is the most widely spoken language in Switzerland. Italian in just two cantons, Romance in one and German far outweighs French across the remainder.  But I do agree that the nationality of the ref was irrelevant. Just another example of rank bad officiating and VAR failure.

What shall I watch today? Cricket 5th ODI, French F1 GP, Tennis from Queens. Can´t be bothered with boring England in the WC. Prefer to watch top class sportsmen rather than a bunch of overpaid prima donnas.

Well I probably will watch the match but am interested in the tennis. All sports people are over paid but at least they seem to earn it in tennis.

Tennis players are probably the fittest sportsmen. They play virtually every day in ATP matches & every other day in Grand Slam. Games last between 2 & 5 hours. Players also spend hours on the practice courts. There is a very short closed season after the O2 tournament. Footballers in the PL play no more than 60 hours in a season plus a few cup games. They train for 4 or 5 days a week for just a few hours. The rest of their time is spent in tattoo parlours, betting shops or buying designer clothes.
