Netherlands – Germany

Football on the TV, and again it is quiet on the street. Instead of watching I went for a one hour swim and I could have guessed it, the swimming pool was nearly empty!

After my swim I went home on my bike crossing empty streets. At home I started watching some movie… and suddenly all hell broke loose. Screaming, shouting, fireworks and people honking their horns. It proved to be the goal to make the match a tie.

Of course it is nice to watch a game together, more so if people are drinking a nice beer and eating some nuts, but the enormous fanaticism that is related to football is out of proportion. I think I will never understand.

One thought on “Netherlands – Germany

  1. Ongelooflijk dat je niet hebt gekeken. Gelukkig hadden we voldoende bier ingeslagen, zo zijn we er doorheen gekomen. Alleen de goal van Nistelrooy was mooi, verder was er niks aan. Punt is binnen, zullen we maar zeggen. Volgens Johan hebben we alles in eigen hand.
