I'm just glad that Germany doesn't have to play Netherlands. Last time that happened our cars got vandalized and our house egged by the kids in the neighborhood that know DH is German. And we did not even watch the game as he is not such a big fan!
We were all a bit sad in our family. The kids even brought their crazy "Nederlands hats" (yes - they say "Nee-derlands") to their grandparents' house and got their basketball/baseball/American football-loving grandfather to watch the match.
The story begins like this: A couple of years ago my husband got a crazy notion in his head that returning to school after years in the professional world might be a good idea. So he and I along with our three children left our suburban life in the U.S. and traded it for a new adventure in The Netherlands.
The saga continues like this:
A year of post graduate study was so much fun, we figured we'd stay a while longer. Working in a new field, attending new schools and living in a new city, I dare say we have settled into a rhythm in our expat lives.
This blog is the record I keep of our experiences here; good, bad and hilarious. Intended as an outlet for my expression, this is the place for me to say my something.
aw, my sympathies :( we've been seeing some great highlights (though none of that particular game yet)
ReplyDeleteanyone else you're willing to cheer for now?

ReplyDeleteSometimes, football mania can be taken a bit far.
I won't make silly jokes now....although I am tempted
ReplyDeleteAweeee....
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry. And I really do love the new color scheme. It's prettier than green.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry. Maybe you can leave the new color scheme up until next year - just to keep the team spirit going.
