ON a lighter note...

fpb...this is the final of speechless anthems. The Spanish national anthem, the Grenadiers' March, has no words (and I heard the Spanish fans singing along without words, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, etc.); the first stanza of the German national anthem is connected with some rather nasty past notions and is usually regarded as forbidden. Still, the fans sang the second stanza lustily enough.

Every time the ball got near the goal, you could see a couple of German defenders standing near the two poles of the goal, shrinking the space the keeper had to cover.
