World Cup.

Sad to say, I was right about the final - not a match to live in the memory. Full marks in my book to Howard Webb the referee - he could have sent a Dutch player off early in the match, but that would have ruined the game for the spectators, so he contented himself with a yellow card. Would that more referees thought that way. So Spain won and they were probably just about the better team on the night, but for me the team that stood out overall in the competition - though it pains me as an Englishman to say it - were Germany.
