Last Tackle in Basel

Wednesday, 25 June 08, 12:13 PM

It only seems like yesterday that I turned up for work at the Volunteer centre, here at St Jakob Arena, and now it's the final match day. Tonight Germany take on Turkey and it's expected to get lively around town, if not anything like Saturday. Basel is expecting around 100,000 fans for the game though yesterday's work at the Accreditation centre didn't exactly give the impression of much happening today - it was too damned quiet.

I mentioned my lovely friends, ticket touts, last week and L'Equipe reports that 300 Black Market tickets have been seized by Austrian Police. It does seem a rather small drop in the ocean but any action has to be good. The paper also reported that one Russian fan, unfortunately, lost his life, falling from a car whilst celebrating the quart final win on Saturday.
