| A tricky choice | |

| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| Which of the two matches should I watch? BBC is showing Spain v | |
| England. ITV has the other fixture, England v Spain. Decisions, | |
| decisions. | |

| Whichever you watch I am sure the commentators obsession with | |

| a thing as footballing justice Spain should win as they have | |
| been the outstanding team in a fairly mediocre Euro competition. | |
| And, let�s be honest, England have been very fortunate to get | |
| to the final - 3 poor group matches, a 96th min equaliser in | |
| R16, penalties in the quarter final and a very dubious penalty | |
| in the semi. | |

| Plenty of teams have won tournaments without playing well. | |
| Greece, Denmark and Portugal all spring to mind. | |

| I could be that England�s name is on it, we had a Labour | |
| Government in 1966 so the omens are there. | |
| Agree Spain have been the best side of the Tournament so far but | |
| dorsnt mean they will win it. | |

| The BBC's current obsession with football was evident again this | |
| morning with it being fans being interviewed about the final. | |
| I had to change channels to get the latest on the attempted | |
| assassanation of the former U.S. president. | |

| Don't forget the third option, which is sky sports which have | |
| you watching someone watching the match and telling you what's | |
| happening - I genuinely wonder how many people will watch this | |
| tonight (and why) | |

| Mrs Whistleblower is not accompanying me on this trip. Actually | |
| I really like French cuisine including l'escargots, it's frogs | |
| legs I don't much care for. A good steak with pepper sauce and | |
| frites is hard to beat. | |
| Paris is turned upside down because of the Olympics. I tend to | |
| stick to the Left Bank which is quieter. | |
