Next Round (against England?)

After a thrilling match (for me), Germany reached the round of the last 16. So many chances and a last minute goal. Fantastic. "The celebrations were as unbridled as they would be if Germany actually go on to win this World Cup. Maybe they will." (The Independent) The atmosphere in Germany must be great these day, I am really sorry, I am not there.

I was watching the England game today. The atmosphere in the pub was much better than last time. England scored in the last minutes as well and nearly everybody in the pub was relieved. Ok, everybody but Sylvia who got Trinidad & Tobago in our Sweepstake. She was teasing Andy the whole match for every missed shot.

Earlier this day, I had a chat with Elisa about supporting the national teams. She said that she'd always support the teams of her friends as long as they don't play Italy. She couldn't understand that some of us supported Ghana during the last match against Italy. I tried to explain to her that I wouldn't support Holland even if I had a Dutch girlfriend and Andy agreed and said he always wants Germany to loose. These are the rules, we didn't make them...
