There's a Eurozone joke in here somewhere.
Something about Greece receiving 50% of every German goal scored...
Leave it with me.
On the pitch everything went pretty much as expected - i.e. Greece defended, Germany won.
But, despite the suggestion that this was a mauling, it was still 1-1 on the hour. The fact that Greece were only on level terms for six minutes is both pedantic and unhelpful at this juncture.
There were also a couple of absolutely cracking volleys in this game, which has got me thinking about great volleys. Multiple Mark Hughes goals, naturally. Paul Scholes from a corner against Bradford. Rooney's overhead derby winner. Tony Yeboah at Anfield. David Platt in the 119th minute versus Belgium...
But, let's be honest, there's only one choice:
Tomorrow's Zizou video will feature a family holiday he once took to the Dordogne in the mid-nineties.
It will not feature Robbie Earle.
Next up, The Shining.
