5:40pm Great atmosphere down at the German House. It’s nearly full as everyone has their eyes glued on the semi-finals of the Men’s team table tennis. Germany are up against China and a huge roar has just gone up as Germany have just won the 2nd set to level the match at 1-1. I have just been speaking to some German fans who tell me that the whole country has been anticipating this match and they really believe the team can produce a sensational victory over the highly fancied Chinese. It has certainly seemed to have caught the imagination of the German fans here in London. If you fancy sharing a drink and soaking up the great atmosphere with them then now would be a good time to come. Queues are very small at the moment.
