Very well done the Dutch, and now the Spanish. The game started at 6.30am here, so I watched most of it and it really didn't look as if the Germans were much interested until the last few minutes but too late!

So - Luit or Rafa? Maybe I'd better remain neutral and just hope for a good game (early Monday morning here.) ;D

Cold again here today. Showery too. July and the heating is on in the house! Hope it's warmer in Yorkshire (God's own country) next week!

John, I’m not that young anymore and after such an exciting match I rather cool off my blood temperature with something stronger than water  ;D ;D
Cheers!

We'll be feeling very righteous as on Monday we (Dunblane Cathedral Choir) are singing 'Evensong' at York Minster and Tuesday and Thursday to Sunday were are doing the same at Ripon Cathedral. Not bad, considering evensong is not a service we have in Dunblane Cathedral.

Luit, you should be up on your cricket considering there is a big tournament on in your country at this very moment! ::) As for football..............who invented the game? Who has never won the World Cup? Who is absolutely terrified of an octopus?

I had to dig rather deep in the paper to find a few results about this tournament Anthony.
Football and Le Tour are at the moment more important in Holland ;D
