And the final will be…
Switzerland v Italy
Congratulations to Matt and Pete, commiserations to Alyson and Greg, both of whom produced performances that lit up this tournament. Switzerland powered through their semi, whereas Italy beat France by a single vote. Which of them will triumph? The final tracks go up on Thursday, and on Wednesday we take a look back over the tournament with the Europop 2008 Muxtape.
Woah, Cerebus! It's always good to see someone diving deep into this classic. Sounds like an intense, but worthwhile journey.…
Haha, this is so savage! Some of these points are kinda true though, like the expensive records thing. I know…
Wow, what a mess! It's impressive how problematic his opinions were even back then. But the discussion is interesting for…
Eleven years later (couldn't hang on another 3), I just wanted to add "I agree".. it's damn funky
Thanks for the deep dive into all of this lunacy. I started reading Cerebus in high school, when it was…
It's been a heck of a ride revisiting Cerebus through your eyes and analysis. Thank you for taking the time…
I think this is more in the sense of "anyone else Sim chooses"
The self-contained Five Bar Gate issue and the issue where Cerebus and the Stooges stumble their way through 100% darkness…
Not wanting to play mind games or anything – but look at the quality of the tracks I won’t be playing in the final:

A sticker book centric video!
Blimey that was close, kudos to France for making it such a thriller. I really like that track.
Not wanting to play mind games or anything, but I think I’ve had the tougher route to the final. A couple of real nailbiters and some fantastic opposition most of the way. Got a feeling a lot of managers played their best track against me, especially Greece.
I think it may have felt tougher for you Matt because your games were closer. Bearing in mind that I have had to play the winner of the Pop World Cup in my opening game, and faced the manager who won the Pop World Cup twice, as a newcomer to this competition – I feel that I have been significantly tested. But no doubt the final will be something special (if I can find a suitable Young Gods tune).
I would say you were the favourite going into the final, but then I have been the underdog in nearly all of my bouts and battled. Bring on the final, but don’t be surprised if a Ronaldo mickey is slipped to your top striker – or indeed if it goes to penalties.
It has just occurred to me that, due to being at Glastonbury, I won’t even hear your track or read any comments on the final until after it’s over. It’s like going into the ring blindfolded and wearing a Walkman oh hang on wrong sport.
It also means I won’t be able to vote for my own track argh.
SENT TO THE STANDS!
Is it not possible to vote with modern phonular technology, if not to hear the Swiss track?
When will the voting close? I’ll be at Glastonbury as well, will it still be open on Monday evening?
I think, because of the Glasto issue, I will keep it open until Tuesday lunchtime.
