Isn’t that something? Unbelievable the way sports can be a cultural microcosm, especially the olympics and national tournaments like this.

I’m more than a little worried.

As Ian Darke on ESPN (I think it was him, I get the match commentators confused) pointed out at the open to Poland/Russia earlier this week, those teams can’t meet without “matters political, historical and polemical arising.”

If Germany was smart, they’d tank the game.
