It was hysterically funny and surreal, the Brazilians really built themselves up as the unbeatable Icons of Football, the Germans were running rings around them. I hope the Dutch beat the Argies tonight, lets have a European final. Yes the English team was rubbish but this was on another level.

Some really good digital imaging shown. By far the best one though is the 'chomping' German flag. Brilliant.

Why is it that every article today talks about "social media". Why do we need the perspective from the kind fools and layabouts that invest to much of their time of website such as the Twitter. In addition I find it highly offensive that some foolish youngster has replaced our lord and saviour sculpture Christ the Redeemer with some woman. Shame on all!
