still no score
Wow, 70 minutes in and still no score. I believe that what happens is that if it’s still scoreless (or tied) at 90 minutes (plus a couple more they add to compensate for any delays) they play two more 15-minute … Continue reading
d’oh!
So close! And, two minutes later: Damn. I really thought that one was going in. (So did the player.)
uh-oh
Yikes, *another* yellow card. (If a player gets two, he’s pulled from the game and his team is down one person.)
halftime, or whatever it’s called (I think it actually is called halftime)

*my* sport
Hey, while scouting around for the right channel to see the game, I found the other World Cup – the rowing one in Lucerne – being shown on Eurosport. Cool. Great Britain won the men’s eight, the US was something … Continue reading
the songs
I just did a little web research to figure out what some of the songs are that I keep hearing. Apparently the one that goes to the tune of Auld Lang Syne is “Wij houden van oranje” (We love orange). … Continue reading
