Another soccer World Cup is over, with Spain beating Netherlands 1-0 in the final this morning. Congratulations to Spain on winning the Cup.
I didn’t get up early this morning to watch the final – in fact apart from watching a couple of the midnight games during the tournament, I didn’t follow it as closely as I have past tournaments – like 2006 when I spent part of it in the US with some English and German colleagues and we followed progress keenly (it didn’t hurt too that the games were in the morning and afternoon US time either), 2002 when it was in Korea and Japan and thus games were on at sensible times, and a couple of earlier ones which coincided with my kids being babies and being woken in the middle of the night.
I only watched a few games, an those were when I was in Germany.
Didn’t watch any here this year. Oh well.
Didn’t watch any.Listened to snippets on BBC world service radio..Russell Fuller going off his tits with excitement is always amusing. My late nights are confined to the Tour de France,to which I am addicted.
