World Cup, Sunday: Germany versus England

"Don't tell him, Pike!"
One to watch through the fingers from behind the sofa, methinks.

Here's the YouTube of Germany and England's finest encounter:



UPDATE: AngloAustrian prediction. It will go to penalties. Slight concern this end that although England are finally practicing penalties at the end of every training session, that they are not doing the full walk from the halfway line. If Maturin Towers were coaching England, then we would do this to enable full motor memory skills to come into play during the actual game. The more you do something 'for real', and the more real you make the practice experience, then the less nerve-racking will be the real thing, when it finally happens, as the body falls into a pre-programmed neuronal motor pattern, as determined by neural linguistic programming. Oh well. What the heck do we know? Not that I'm nervous, or anything.
