Although I've totally lost interest since my teams were knocked out:


Would like to see.....


Brazil beat Holland for 3rd place. (because I kind of feel sorry for Brazil now & I really don't like Holland)


Argentina to win (because although Germany are clinically efficient, I've never really liked them)


And let's face it - you have to actually like someone to support/hope they win.

Sorry, can't let that pass. The sins of the fathers cannot be visited on the sons in this case. They are not clinical and far from efficient (ask Ghana) - they are a bit dicey and risky and loose at the back. They are creative and skillful and occasionally wasteful but always 'up for it', always pressing, always trying something even if it fails. They are a true team rather then a collection of overpaid prima donnas and I would rather they won than any of the last four.

"I have said before now that football is a simple game: 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans always win.


Again, this time I will be very surprised if they don't."


You can guess who wrote the above if you don't know. Not a particularly good idea for Messi's Dad to tell the world how tired his son is. Is he trying to protect him for being a scapegoat if Argentina lose or is he trying to lure the Germans into a false sense of security? He does seem to have run out of juice.


To me everything points to a German win which undoubtedly means they wont. I'm due ?100 if Argentina win from work. Perhaps the betting experts can tell me if I should hedge?

CCat believe I didn't have clinically efficient on this list. Anyone who can describe the Germans tomorrow without using one of the above wins a point.

Germany have their arses hanging out a bit - playing very high up and quite loose, quickly taking throw-ins and free kicks, but the Argentine bus is firmly parked - they're used to not conceding and nicking a one-nil on the break The Argy fellahs). They're missing Khedira (The german fellahs).

      free for Southwark residents

      By trinidad · Posted

      Hello, with the weather improving, I thought I would flag up the free access to leisure centres in southwark. 1. If you are experiencing poor mental and physical health and live in the borough, the GP exercise referral service allows up to three months of free use of leisure centers. There are three levels of support, and you can even refer yourself. read more for more info: Kickstart, Active Boost and Cardiactive - Everyone Health Southwark   2. If you don't have challenges with physical ands mental health, you can access the free swim and gym for a year. for more info: Free swim & gym eligibility requirements – Leisure Facilities in Southwark 3. Are you a blue badge holder? you can apply for the AD Permit, a virtual payment which allows disabled drivers to part on single and double yellow lines without the need of displaying a blue bae in the windscreen. there is also information for disabled residents to use the Low Traffic Neighborhood (LTNs) around the borough.  Exemptions for Blue Badge holders | Southwark Council Want more information? use the councils website: www.southwark.gov.uk

      Thames Water - water meters

      By EDmummy101 · Posted

      I am about to tomorrow. I only just realised after asking some neighbours today. Agreed that smaller households should of course pay less, like discounted council tax bills for those on benefits for example. However as our bills have gone up astronomically generally in the last few years, I do feel hardworking families are being penalised... also avid gardeners will be penalised in the summer when gardens are watered no doubt.

      Thames Water - water meters

      By trinidad · Posted

      Hello Womanofdulwich, I had a meter installed in the summer of last year. Currently my bills have fallen massively. Can you remember which month your water meter was installed? Also I received two appointments, one from a group of staff in orange who decide if the property is suitable for the water meter, and then a second appointment for the meter to be installed, did you have the same thing? Are you saying as well that you was cold called regarding the water meter, or are you saying someone from Thames water turned up, at your door unannoyed?   Lastly (so sorry to through so much questions at you) how many bedrooms do you have and how many people live at the property?
