Hmm, we've still got two matches to play and BBC's Match of the Day already has unveiled its "Goals of the Tournament" competition? I guess they don't expect much to happen Sunday night in Berlin.

Here's their Top 10. I know I've got mine. Put yours in the "comments" section.

I wrote in today's paper about the popular song that all the Germany are singing. The song begins '54, '74, '90, 2006... detailing all the exploits of the three German World Cup-winning teams.

The refrain goes (In German, so you can sing along:)

"Vierundfuenfzig,vierundsiebzig,neunzig,zweitausendsechs,ja so stimmen wir alle
ein, mit dem Herzen in der Hand und der Leidenschaft im Bein werden wir
Weltmeister sein."

Which means (so you know what you're singing):

" 1954, 1974, 1990, 2006, we're singing all the way! With the heart in our hands and passion in our legs, we will be world champions!"

Of course, that didn't quite work out for the Germans. But a new version is already out substituting "2006" with "2010."

Here's the " '54, '74, '90..." video by "Sportfreunde Stiller."

They're available all around the ground. Ticket prices fell through the floor for this semifinal when two of the most passionate fanbases, Brazil and England, were eliminated by two, France and Portugal, that don't travel as well.

Instead of a ticket worth upwards of 1,000 euros, scalpers looked like they were taking a bath as I walked from the metro station to the Allianz Arena little more than three hours before kickoff. Face value for a category 2 ticket is 240 euros. Before I put my credential around myy neck I was offered a ticket for 100 euros, despite the fact that this could be Zinedine Zidane's last match.

Zizu is probably the best player of the last 20 years. Anyone got a better choice?

Although table football, or "foosball" as it is known in our country, was invented by a Spaniard named Alejandro Finisterre in 1937, there is a link to Germany. The term "foosball" is an American morph of "fussball," the German word for the sport. You can play the game all over this fair country during the tournament. I've seen foosball tables not just in bars and restaurants, but Munich platzes, adjacent to the Nazi stone tribune in Nuremberg and high above Hamburg at the "Bunker," a media center in St. Pauli.

Here's a clip of the footage that got German midfielder Torsten Frings suspended for today's World Cup semifinal against Italy.

Germany has never lost in Dortmund. Italy has never lost to Germany in a competitive match. Something has to give here in one of Europe's finest stadiums in the first semifinal of Germany '06.

Here's a taste of the atmophere as I made my way to the stadium from the train station a couple hours ago.

The foot traffic from the station to the city's central square is intense.

You make your way under a billboard that shows what the Westfalenstadion looks like when Borussia Dortmund have a home match in the Bundesliga.

Many fans are already in a festive mood

Apparently these guys are "native" Germans.

And finally, before heading to the media shuttle, I paid 10 euros for a momento of the day.

What happened last time England had a petulant young star sent off in a World Cup match for kicking out at an opponent?
