I suppose Germany is very likely to eliminate Turkey, just as Russia might kick out Spain.

That would be a Germany – Russia final.

And even though, being German, I support Germany, I am afraid Russia will snatch the CUP.

Or maybe not …

This tourney is turning into a wrapped up present for Germany. all the other semifinalists will be tired. Spain Italy will end on penalties or the 119 minute.

Maarten – instead of translating Schweini’s name, just give him Kudos for a great performance. I am not concerned about your last name possibly being Van der Arsch.

Nope, it would be pigpen like the character from Peanuts. A Schweinsteige was the old German word for pigpen. So apparently that’s where his family earned a living centuries ago.
