I'm squeezing my thumbs for you

What can I do?  It has to come out; I can't keep it bottled inside any longer.

On Thursday, Germany plays Italy in the semifinals of Euro 2012 to determine who will challenge Spain for the Cup.  I'm a mass of jangling nerves, a tangle of crossed digits, bursting with blooming pride for this young but talented side.  My heart goes with you, brave men!  Ich drucke dir die Daumen!
