Football, bloody hell! I would have expected Germany's faster, more aggressive style to set the pace of the game regardless of team selection, but that was some pretty odd stuff from Joachim Loew. He played neither Reus nor Muller and in trying to make room for the energetic but ineffective Kroos, he shoved Ozil (who had looked absolutely phenomenal operating behind a lone striker) in a wide role, creating a whole load of unnecessary disruption. Obviously, occupying Pirlo would be a priority for anyone but why wouldn't you simply give the job to the superb Khedira? And that Balotelli, more trouble than he's worth, eh?

Shearer and friends take note, this is how you do football analysis... :|

I swear, I could feel myself ageing during tonight's second half. After the lively and generally enjoyable group stages, the knockout games have failed to deliver much other than the drama of penalties and a couple of (admittedly brilliant) 'Panenkas'. All of a sudden, it feels like the tournament is starting to wind down a bit. Hopefully, tomorrow's game and Sunday's final will liven things up again and provide us with one or two slightly more memorable moments. The debate will almost certainly continue to rage on about whether or not Spain are boring, which in itself is getting rather boring, but if they were able beat Italy or Germany on Sunday you could make a strong case for them to go down as the greatest international side ever. Like the Spanish style or not, nobody (at least, nobody to my knowledge) has ever won three major tournaments on the spin. And on a slightly different note, Van Maarwijk has apparently resigned as Holland manager. Somewhat inevitable, I suppose - cue rousing round of indifference.

New video for 'National Anthem'. Someone rather likes Instagram, I see...

^It's not been made altogether clear but yes, I suspect Phil meant to say 'xenophobic' - as if not playing in England could only ever be explained by some kind of latent flaw in Pirlo's character. I'd expect nothing less from the wazzock who once thought paying Jimmy Bullard £50,000 a week for four and a half years would be a sound investment. Incidentally, I may have spoken too soon when I said I'd found this year's Euro pundits slightly less annoying than usual. I thought Alan Shearer's suggestion that Mario Balotelli hasn't achieved anything in his career was pretty bad (alas, the 21-year-old Mario only has one Champions League, three Serie As, one Coppa Italia, one Premier League and one FA Cup to his name thus far. Oh, if only Roy Keane had been there), but a certain Mr Merson well and truly topped Big Al on Sky Sports News today, criticising England for not playing enough like Ireland.

Here's another one I rather like. Give it until the vocal comes in before dismissing it as a Buzzcocks cover. http://youtu.be/cpHN_V1sjUQ

^Not half bad. The voice could be an acquired taste but the rhythm section sounds pretty great.

Absolute corker from ex-Hull manager Phil Brown on Radio Five Live...

^Not since Andy Cole's overlooked classic 'Outstanding' have I heard such a lovely singing voice from a footballer.

Great! How about a model wearing a silver watch?
