good game

Well, the hopes of getting an early night tonight have vanished in a split second. The Swiss "quiet after 10pm" rule wouldn't work here - let alone after a semi-final victory for the French. Indeed, it was another gripping game tonight, though I enjoyed Saturday's almost better (see pic). Tonight, I ran around a bit with the flag and soaked in the rare French flag patriotism before coming home. It does our multiethnic country a lot of good to identify to the same country. I was excited about a German-French final, but doesn't look like that will happen. Despite faithfully supporting and chanting with 100-150 Germans in a small sticky room last night, the Italians stole the show. On another note, tomorrow sounds like a long day, with a trip to Paris and back, the time to inspect some health issues out. Shame I couldn't have my appointment on Friday. With World Cup fever at its hottest, Sunday's finals on the Champs would have been fun. Having said that, I might just enjoy a weekend of quiet - for a change!
