Well, they do also have Podolski.....

I think fried's Sky box is on the blink and he's actually watching reruns of South Africa 2010.

I'm actually really enjoying this semi final too. Proper tense and tactical. Both know one mistake will end it....

True... Podolski of course, but then again....

[Jaspersharpe]

And of course Schürrle sometimes plays up front for Chelsea instead of Torres.....

No, you were right first time.

Tactics question: If whoever wins of Argentina - Holland decides to park the bus against Germany as well, how will that play out given that Germany know that they put away 17/18 elfmeters and thus will win if it goes to kicks from the penalty mark...?

Funny that we all had Spain up there- it now seems like ages since they were considered a top team (or even a top, top team  ).

None of us saw Holland (or indeed Cameroon at the other end) coming....

Well Holland earned me £15 from my £3 in the office sweepstake, first time I've ever won anything in countless Grand Nationals and football cups.
