Later on tonight Yidane or Cannavaro will lift the famous trophy in the Olympiastadion.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a little strange here in Berlin, because the city is so big with no real centre I haven&#8217;t really noticed any change in atmosphere or buildup yet.  People on the street are talking about the football all the time, but I haven&#8217;t seen any big groups of Italian or French fans yet.   After this i&#8217;m going to start the journey to the stadium, and on the way walk the famous FanMile where i think all the atmosphere will be.<\/p>\n<p>As I&#8217;m writing this there&#8217;s pictures from German TV from the Brandenburg gate where tens of thousands have turned out to greet the national team.  They flew up from Stuttgart last night after beating Portugal for the 3rd place.   Dirk, Frank and some other frineds got down there at 9am in order to get a place.  Too much for me that, i&#8217;ll let the Germans have there day with there team, i&#8217;m saving my energy for the Final.<\/p>\n<p>So France v Italy, the clash of Europe.  If you look at this World Cups it&#8217;s all turned out to be about Europe, and I guess my journey has as well.  So I think it&#8217;s appropriate that we&#8217;ve got two European teams in the final.  No predictions, but i&#8217;m definitley shouting for the blue of the Azzurri tonight.  And for Marco and Serena, my Italian friends out in Mexico i promise to shout &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>FORZA MAGICA ITALIAAAAA!!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So today, the World Cup Final, once every four years, the biggest game on the planet.
