Germany in Perspective
July 5th 2006 19:33
Ok, so I was wrong about Italy. And now, Germany seems like the worst possible place to be right now. While Germany were still in the Cup, everyone was all cheery smiles and 'Here have das free stein'. Now that they're out - and the chips are down - it's like the Wall never came down. I tried to get on a bus today, and a German man chested me out of the way. Must have been from the East.
Now, not only do I feel empty about Australia playing no role in this unifying game, this balletic samba, but my Last Great Hope is out too. Leaving me with bile. Caustic bitter dissolving glibness, swirling around my gums. And just when things seem like they couldn't get any more shocking - here's a prediction: Portugal to beat France. Portugal to win the whole damn thing! Shall I skip over there then? Shall Lisbon be my next destination, so I can suck up the tide of euphoria, and find the Last Kabbalist sloshing cocktails with Madonna?
