Tonight's World Cup semi final between Germany v Spain throws up an interesting dilemma for English football aficionados.
From a purely footballing point of view it would be good to see the Germans get through to enable a Germany v Holland final, which would doubtless provide us with a feisty encounter rekindling the fiercest rivalry in European football. Forget England and Germany, these two HATE each other. remember Frank Rijkaard and his spat (sic) with Rudi Voller?
However to a lot of England fans supporting Germany does not come easy, in fact for some it is nigh on impossible. OK, so it's entirely irrational, but no more so than a Spurs fan's loathing of Arsenal or an Everton fan's loathing of Liverpool and vice-versa.
I will try to remain neutral tonight, but I just know that I will be edging towards Spain all the time, despite their Liverpool connections - hang on, that makes it even weirder! Dilemmas, dilemmas.....
