It didn't quite work out: there was no Germany:Netherlands final as the Germans got beaten by the Spanish. Up till then, they had really played well. It was fun to watch the England and Argentina games, lots of goals, and entertaining offensive football. Too bad indeed, but at least we got an entertaining game for the third place against Uruguay. The final was - once again - boring, too much kickboxing and too many fouls, and going into extra time that wasn't really worth watching. Fitting to the match, it started raining after the regular time. We found a cool spot to watch the game, School Cafe, where thousands of dutch supporters gathered in the cafe, in a beer tent and on the streets like we did. And drunken dutch fans were screaming 'stroopwaffel' as support...I had almost given up that there are dutch in this city as I could only see yellow and red on the streetcars while getting to Liberty Village.
It's over...no more soccer on TV for the next two years. What are we doing with all the free time? Well, my boss will not be too unhappy that it's done, as the majority of the games were during working hours. Alternatively to working, I should pick up a good book again.
