It's Two - Nil...

[Pete Askew]

And the crowd are on the edge of their walls!

It's a grudge match of Babelsberg vs Göttingen but so far the game has been clean...

Nice rhythm of the pinkish-red of the footballers, the woman behind the game, and the edge of the staircase, contrasted with the black dress and hair of your resident (beautiful) model, and the 'evil' strange character in the far right shadows!

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Rob. And you don't want to go playing table football with her I can tell you!! I actually toned the reds down and now I'm beginning to think I shouldn't have. I reckon the shady character was a talent spotter from one of the 'big' clubs!!

 

[Brian Moore]

That looks like the Champions League final right there, Pete. Everybody has their "game face" on. And the fellow in the shadows is like some prank-playing minor god peering down from Olympus, pulling first this string then that to foyle the plans of the mortals. Great shot!

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Brian. And the reds were playing a substitute teaspoon in defence!! This is from a follow-up game where Ina mercilessly destroyed a poor teenager who fancied his chances, 10:4!!

Time for a tenth goal before the final whistle!!

 

[Brian Moore]

The misery of he whom she has dispatched is palpable as he bears witness to she who conquered him toying with her next victim. The big, blue central defenders, Lescott, Kompany and Richards are clearly no match for the pace of her strikers, Valencia, Rooney and Nani; observe the blur!

 

[Paul Lange]

Maybe one of the players turned to his teammate in the dressing room and said "I wanna spoon" but didn't really mean it in the cutlery sense!

I presume you managed to resist the urge to sing Dambusters along with the other football chants the germans are subjected to at England vs Germany matches?
