Will Andre be unbearable tomorrow night?

No, I hope to be unavailable for obvious reasons.

Ah yes, Tatort night I believe.

It's summer so they show only reruns.

I was just impressed I could remember this factoid.

I was equally impressed that you know this strange habit in our country of wasting our time watching this TV show on sunday evening. I still wonder why on earth you know Tatort. I wanted to ask you when we meet in November.

Gosh! Tatort! A hitherto repressed memory of my year-long sojourn in Germany. At least you didn't mention Didi

You mean Didi "Palim, Palim" Hallervorden ?

So here we are. The day before the day that Owen has been looking forward to.

I still have a chance of recovering my money if the Argies win, regardless of how. My wallet is saying Argentina, but my head is saying Germany as they have been by far the better team to watch.

Best of luck André, I hope you enjoy the game.

As is my gullet.

Best of luck André, I hope you enjoy the game.

And so say all of us.

Thank you all. I have a bottle of Riesling ready in the fridge. I will either need it for celebrating the cup or consoling myself.

Rather careless football. Germany faffing with the ball in the middle of the grass. Is this England in disguise?

No. They almost scored twice.

The commentators seem to think it is a better game than we do.

Penalties would be fun (sorry André)

[jdaw1]

A German goal would help.

A German goal would help.

That’s better.

[djewesbury]

From the fireworks and shouting I think one just happened.

[jdaw1]

Make it emphatic: get another.

[djewesbury]

Whilst not watching, I rather wish the Argies would win.

[jdaw1]

And it’s all over. (Well, they think it is.)

[jdaw1]

And it’s all over. (Well, they think it is.)

It is.

[djewesbury]

The Berliners are literally screaming and weeping. Fireworks are going off everywhere. It's like May '45 round here.

The better team won - i.e. PaddyPower.com

Well done Germany, a deserved win.

[CaliforniaBrad]

The better side today won, was glad to see not go to penalties considering all the chances for both sides. Good watch.
