Concerning Football ...

Well, I was never really a fan of the Swiss Team and when they qualified for the World Cup I didn't know one of the faces of our National heroes. I never watch football – except for World Cups. Surprisingly, I find myself drawn into the matches every four years and I sweated blood when watching the Switzerland games during the last four weeks. We did so well! Even France – in other words: Melanie – didn't defeat us and earlier today I was so sure we'd kick Italy – that is to say: Alessandro, Annalisa and Fabio – out of the tournament. I didn't consider the Ukraine a threat to our winning the World Cup. And now this.



What a shame! How can any team not score at least once in a penalty shootout? You should have seen me, dancing around nervously in the living room – Deb sleeping on the Sofa – breathing hard, and then –



Yes, we bloody blew it! It was as if someone stabbed right into my heart! For about twenty seconds. Then I gave my broken heart away to Spain! After having met Eli, Carmina and Elisa and started learning their beautiful language I feel more Spanish than Swiss anyway. We have chocolate, but Spain has got … well, at least Eli, Carmina and Elisa. And a good team. And should they blow it as well then I can dig out my sympathy for Argentina. And after all, football is not the most important thing in life… Or is it?
