Its been dismal. Just dismal. The second day of life without football has been a horrendous ordeal without end in sight until I saw an interesting article in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) about how Bastian Schweinsteiger (or Schweini as he used to be called, which means "Piglet"), had made several combative statements regarding the Argentinians and the infamous brawl that broke loose after Germany had beaten Argentina on penalty kicks in the 2006 quarter-finals. So far it had only been the Argentines who had been making a lot of noise about how they were going to get revenge for last time. Maradonna had even crooned that he would post a team line up that was "guaranteed to beat the Germans".
