You really can't get away from it. The whole city is watching the football tonight. So you can't really get away from it. Not that I want to get away from it - in fact, I'm listening to the Netherlands beat Uruguay as I type. There are people sleeping in the guesthouse (where the TV is!), so I can't watch it. It's still being shown on our one broadcast channel here, which is completely amazing! I can't wait until the final. That is the game I shall be watching - no matter who's trying to sleep in the guesthouse. I mean, really, how can I not - except that I'm really not a football fan. Or any sort of sports fan, for that matter. But, since everyone is talking about it and everyone is watching it, including most of my expatriate friends... it's more of a social thing than anything else!
But it is rather exciting that a team I wanted to support from the very beginning (even before I knew they were actually good!) is doing so well! Hup Holland Hup!
