I didn't see the Germany game (must have been one of the few people in Germany who didn't!) but knew what was going on from the cheering and fireworks (one explosion when the goal went in, one explosion at full time). So Sunday will be the big day. Oh, and it took me an extra half an hour to get home because the streets were closed off to allow for celebrations.
Here's a quote from Matthew Upson:
"The key to winning - forget everything else, tactics, the lot - it's about you as a human being, it's about what you are willing to commit and your attitude and we did that really well. The key is to give everything you've got, leave all your fear and inhibitions in the changing room and let go and give it a rip. Everyone's buzzing and the manager's on top of everything."
I think that's brilliant -- dead on. What's more, if any team I'm rooting for does that then, even if it doesn't work out, I don't care. They gave everything and I'm happy. So bring it on! In Fabio Capello I Trust! By far the best England manager I can ever remember.
P.S. The U.S. has shown exactly what Upson was talking about in every game. They deserve great credit and the love of all their fans.
