When your number is up (Murray what a winner)

Spain 1 Germany 0
Funny how you find some matches disappointing when the analysis's point to the final being a good one. . The Germans flattered to deceive and really for most of the match outplayed, oh well the best footballing team won and my pre-tournament prediction was correct, although other predictions throughout the tournament were dire. Spain has gone football celebration crazy, just imagine what would happen here.

When your number is up

Listening to the radio yesterday there was a report about two air ambulances crashing in mid-air on their way to hospital killing 6 people on board both helicopters . Very sad but air ambulance crashes are not rare and on further investigation last year in the USA 84 people were killed involving air ambulances. Your number is up when you are saved from a potentially fatal crash only to end being killed on the way to an emergency hospital.

Murray what a winner

OK he is not every ones cup of tea but last night his match against the Frenchman Gasquet was the best I have seen for many years and for high drama its equals any football match over the last ten years. Unlike Henman, Murray does not come from a privileged background money wise and in fact his is rather tragic as luckily he missed being killed in the Dunblane massacre by being in another classroom which surely must have left some trauma . Murray attended one of Hamilton's scout camps before Hamilton
murdered 17 children a few months later.
Nadel is next and Murrays controversial drop shot might actually work against Nadel who plays mostly from the baseline.
