Olè, olè, olè!

If you're wondring where I've wandered off to... I have surrendered to football madness.

It's the UEFA Football European Championship. Don't expect me online much. If you have an e-mail or a LJ message you want me to reply to fast, mark it urgent. Otherwise, I might not get back to you very fast. I'm on summer holiday; relaxing at daytime and watching football at night.

Speaking of football... My God, what a match tonight. France versus England. England leads 0-1 at full time and three minutes have been added to playtime (for various interruptions to teh game - this is common). England has previously burned a penalty kick that the French goalkeeper caught, but still, we're all thinking this is looking like England's night.

And then France gets a freekick eighteen metres or so away from the goal, and Zidane shhots - and scores! And we're barely gotten over that when just a minute later an English defender makes a horrid pass to his keeper that a French player picks up and the keeper tackles him - penalty to France! And Zidane scores! Two minutes and England went from a certain win to loss. France - England 2-1. What a game...

*sighs happily* I love football. And yesterday the host nation Portugal got its ass kicked in the opening game against Greece, totally unexpected. I love this stuff. And tomorrow, Sweden and Denmark both have matches. Go Scandinavia! Kick Bulgaria and Italy's ass!

And as a bonus, Tromsø won their match in the Norwegian league today and and is still in the lead.

I love my life.

P.S If you're American - football is what you lot call soccer.

No, but others are, sadly.

Yes, I *do* know that. I think that a lot of the ones who read your lj aren't that bad, though of course I can't pretend to know all the Americans who read your lj.

Hard to say how many who read it without commenting. Might be many, might be none. But better safe than sorry, as the saying goes.

Ah, yes . . . After all, you wouldn't want anyone to think that you enjoyed the stupidity that is American football.

or as I like to call it - the chicken version of rugby.
