The final curtain
- 9 Jul 06, 10:27 AM
The last programme of our 30 day run and a little belter it was too (if i say so myself).
Take a bow William and Anais (France), Emanuel (Brazil), Yaw (Ghana), Stacy-Marie (T and T),Roberto (Italy), Stella (Netherlands),Amanda (Sweden) and Romero (Angola) who joined Mark in the plush surroundings of the Bush House restaurant for a rousing end to a great World Cup (and we still have the final to come).
Topics ranged from who didn't turn up ( Lampard, Ronaldinho and Ibrahimovic may wish to look away now) to what changes should be made for 2010 ("No Diving" signs on the pitch, three yellow cards before a sending-off (tho' Graham Poll has already started that one off) and refs from countries who didn't make the finals were among the suggestions) and abiding memories (the way the Germans did the whole thing with such passion and spirit was a favourite).
Thanks to all of you for your comments which were (in the main) complimentary and encouraging and it'd be nice to do it all again in South Africa in 4 years time.
Also, my thanks to Gill, Martin ("Tommy"), Vera and Peter for being a world-class team.

Here in Miami, many restaurants have Italian Flags. Let's see what happens. Congradulations on a great blog.

Italy won but with penalties and deserved the victory. Zidane threw everything away with his behavior that gave him the red card.
