There isn't long left and after the football tonight we have another two day break to deal with before we have the third place match on Saturday and the World Cup final on Sunday. I know it will be a good game we in the office are thinking about flying to Germany or Holland for it, so if there is anyone out there that wants to sponsor us - you know how to get in contact.

But, enough of our shameless pleas for help, to the news and there isn't much of it again but that is mostly because most teams have gone home, but we have some.

We are going to start with some German players talking about England. Mesut Ozil has really rubbed salt into the wounds of some England players who complained of boredom in South Africa. He said: "If you find the greatest tournament on earth boring, then you probably shouldn't be there."

Germany v Spain

The big match kicks off in a few hours and the winner will meet the Dutch who brushed aside Uruguay last night. We don't have any tips for you in this match - but we are sure it will be a good one and we think Germany will win but don't put your mortgage on it.

3,000,000

The overall attendance at the World Cup in South Africa will pass 3 million tonight at the match in Durban, making it the third biggest after the United States in 1994 and Germany in 2006. That isn't bad considering where South Africa is and we are quite impressed - same again in 2022?

Paul the octopus

The 'psychic' octopus in Germany that has predicted the right result in every German match so far has today predicted that Spain will win and on that, we leave you for now and hope you come back later for the match.
