General Update

Well, I've not updated for a few days, so I suppose I should provide some general update. I've been mostly working on researching into the availabilities of Postgraduate courses for the coming year, and there are a few I'm looking into more closely with a potential for actually taking one of them.

Aside from that, I've been mostly watching the football. Having not updated since the end of last week, I can share general opinions on the games since then. Saturday saw two contrasting quarter-finals. England-Portugal has been analysed to death, but here is a superb summary of my general opinion on it:



Compare that to the evening's game where you had an absolute masterclass from Zidane which was amazing to watch, and it's obvious to see which was the greater entertainment; watch the video I've found on YouTube below for a compilation of some of those moments.



Then tonight we had the absolutely superb semi-final between Italy and Germany; one of the best games I've watched for ages, and a credit to the tournament; two teams playing superb football, and Italy looked a class apart and ran out deserved winners with two absolutely splendid goals. To make them anything but favourites now would be ridiculous, and I personally hope France win the second semi-final so that we can have a good showcase final.
