Did you see the match today?!?! WOW! Great fun as Germany and Spain faced off in the final game of the Euro 2008 tournament, and it was 1-0 for Spain with Torres’ goal in the first half being all Spain needed to take the game. WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I watched the match in ample good company—present at my immediate right was my soccer teammate Martin from Germany who objected strongly to my calling the German team a bunch of “cheating fouling mofos.” But as he finished his beer about 20 minutes into the game, I encouraged him to drink up, he’d need the alcoholic cushion to handle the blow of his team losing.
Good times, good company, good game! And now I’m off to the last game of my season—wouldn’t it be sweet if I could pull off the Torres goal for us? (really, if that would’ve been me, I’d never have made that graceful leap over the German keeper on the ground, I would’ve fallen face first over him, splat). Dream a little dream, and play on…
