[Eyes Unclouded]

Hey man. How was partying it up yesterday? You catch the game live or in a bar?

I was watching with some German friends here. What a classic match.

It should have been a classic match, but the missed goal ruined it. Mind you, probably Germany wins anyway, but still, if it were 2-2, things could have really gotten interesting. As it turned out, the rest of the match was rather dull, England didn’t do bupkis after that.

There is a big street in the center of Berlin that is closed for traffic now, where they have put up several big screens so people can watch the games. I watched the game there, together with 350,000 other people. Big party indeed :-)

I wouldn’t say the incorrect call “ruined” the game. Bad calls like that happen all the time (unfortunately), it’s just the way it is. It would have been an ugly stain only if the result had been 2-1 for Germany or something. But 4-1, or 4-2, are clear enough. Of course, that won’t stop those who are so inclined from blaming the ref for the next twenty years or so, but frankly, that makes all the whining even more enjoyable for me :-)
