Thanks to the Irish

Maggie thought it would be more entertaining in a Spanish bar than to sit at home and watch the football. I wasn't keen but the clincher was her offer to drive.

It was a scrappy game, none of the back and forth of Ghana and Uruguay, none of the precision of Germany whupping Argentina but in the end we put it away and one nil is as good as twenty nil in a knockout competition.

The bar was a bit subdued and there were as many expats as Spaniards but at half time a group of Northern Irish turned up and they made so much noise that the game seemed much more exciting.

Germany eh?

    Buena suerte a la Roja hoy. Estaré viendo la tele con mi bufanda puesta, una cerveza en una mano y con los dedos de la otra cruzados
