I'm German when it suits me and yesterday it suited me, that is, until Italy scored not one but two goals in the final two minutes of the Soccer World Cup Semi Final match in Dortmund last night, securing their place in the final to be held in Berlin this Sunday. What a match, wow. Both teams make it look so easy. The match was energetic, graceful, a work of art, in short - the beautiful game!

Like this picture of this German fan, I'm devastated today and I'm being teased and ragged by everyone at the office. Oh well, let them have their moment. As far as I'm concerned the Italian team all look like porn stars and have names that sound like ice cream flavours and they were lucky. That's my little dig. Actually I wish them loads of luck for the final.

Watch out for Germany in 2010. Imagine them winning on South African soil. I will go kraysee kraysee kraysee.

Ole Ole Ole. Well done Italy.
