Almost too depressed to blog...

What a dismal day, and I am talking about the football this time. We are considering taking down our England bunting. But that would be churlish.

Never mind, on to the beers. We had fully expected England (Hop) to have an easy win over Germany (Bitburger) but it was not to be. As it happened, I preferred the Bitburger and Mike preferred the Hop. We thought we would let the football score decide the beer winner (and therefore postpone the vexed question of beer penalty shoot outs). But when Lampard's goal was ignored, we thought Hop should win! However, unfortunately for Hop, we then watched the second half. There are no two ways about it. After such a dismal performance, we had to declare Germany the winner. Goodbye England. Goodbye Hop.

And in the other, earlier, match Mexico (Bohemia) soundly and conclusively beat Argentina (Quilmes). So goodbye Quilmes.
