So it's Germany V. either Russia or Spain, we'll find out in 22 hours or so. Now, I really dislike comments from commentators like the following:
Well, what an unbelievably dramatic night that was! No-one had expected a five goal end-toend thriller, or if they did they'd long been carted off to the nuthouse. The Turkish players are crushed, and they've every right to be. They've outplayed Germany, taken the game to them, and somehow, somehow, they're out. Astonishing.
I suppose the only consolation is that if Germany don't transform in the next few days, they'll get hammered by whoever wins tomorrow's semi-final between Russia and Spain. Join us for that. Until then...
See, the problem I have with that is no one got robbed (unless the ref was getting involved and not calling penalties, which is the case). It doesn't have to be pretty football, or flashy football. It has to be effective football. The team that didn't win can't outplay the other team...or they would've won! That's just my opinion on the matter.
I'm predicting a Spain v. Germany final. With Spain taking the whole thing. We'll see though, I could be completely wrong! I didn't even predict Russia or Turkey making it this far, so chances are high that I am wrong!
