Maybe it has not always been a great tournament for the football - that was on and off as much as the trains - but it's been a good one for the reasons that really matter; the millions of fans who have come to Germany, and the shared experiences they got from watching football together and having a good time.
Not every game was outstanding and, being totally honest, there were some that were probably quite dull, but that is what major finals are usually like and there were still enough entertaining matches at every stage.
From that perspective, of the safety and security of supporters, it has been peaceful, which is brilliant. Instead I have just seen and heard things that have put a smile on my face - for example the mass fan walks to the stadium that the Dutch do.
