Years have gone by and I've finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good soccer. I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: "A pretty move, for the love of God."
And when good soccer happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don't give a damn which team or country performs it.

Onward!
I'll post my own idiosyncratic thoughts about the Spain v Germany match tomorrow... until then you can read Jonathan Wilson's excellent and cohesive article about the match instead. He's spot on. Also, German coach Joachim Low was a total gentleman after the match with his comments. Not always the easiest thing to be. As usual, Germany were good, difficult opponents.
I'm more relaxed now than I was a few hours ago, but my brain is still squiggly. But I'm happy. Very, very happy.
