I know none of you care, but I am pooping my pants with excitement. Just eight more days!

My only problem is that I don't know who put my full support behind. Italy or Germany? I think the fact that one of my all-time favourite players, Antonio Cassano, scraped into the Italy squad will push it in the Azzurri's favour.

Other teams I like: Turkey (cos this town will go fucking nuts if they do well) and Spain (Torres and Fabregas - nuff said)

Teams I utterly despise and hope they lose all their games 15-0: France (they're just so bloody French), Holland (those orange jerseys offend all the senses) and Portugal (Cristiano fucking Ronaldo).

Oh, and bizarrely enough, Germans love that Three Lions song. It'll be everywhere next month.

Anyway, sorry about the football post. Just needed to let some excitement out to avoid bursting. ;)
