HOHENSYBURG - Unfortunately at some point before Ricco and I leave Germany and head for home we have to run a mile for Sport Relief.
I say unfortunately because after close to a month of consuming meat in the same quantities as your average German - and let us be honest sneaking the odd beer along the way - I no longer feel able to guarantee that I could run the distance without doubling over, throwing up etc etc.
MUNICH - My final night in Berlin was spent chomping on a steak on Unter Den Linden watching thousands of devastated England and Brazil supporters trudge under the Brandenberg Gate, their painted faces streaked with tears, their flags and dreams left crumpled in the gutter.
It's always said you can't have a World Cup without Brazil and many on our side of The Channel think the same but having being here and travelled around the venues to watch countries from every continent I don't think any team has a divine right to play here anymore.
BADEN-BADEN - England's version of the big top - their tented media village - was being dismantled within minutes of Sven-Goran Eriksson and David Beckham's departure for Baden-Baden airport.
There has been an element of the circus about England's World Cup campaign, and as usual it was leaving town ahead of schedule.
GELSENKIRCHEN - St George was unavailable for comment as he left the stadium after England鈥檚 defeat last night. Or at least the man dressed up as St George, yes, I know it鈥檚 not him really.
That鈥檚 highly unusual for an England fan. Throughout this tournament they鈥檝e had all the answers for me and 鈥榞iven good quote鈥. But they鈥檝e only ever asked me three questions in return.
鈥淐an you get me on tele?鈥 is always number one. 鈥淣o, I鈥檓 afraid I鈥檓 too lowly,鈥 is my stock reply - I can鈥檛 even get myself on tele...
