Hopp Suisse!!!

Well, the Swiss hopes of World Cup glory have been shattered. In a rather dishevelled and uninspired way. Before the previous game, the streets were full of very excited and noisy people (something rare). Horns were honking in an irritating way into the wee hourrs, and claxons were going off when there were goals. Last night was subdued from the beginning, and it almost seemed as if Switzerland was expecting to lose. And they seem like such nice boys :) None of those silly footballer hairdos and attitudes.

The super thing about our varied nationalities and location is that we still have a couple of teams in the running. England are tops, then Germany and France for some of our friends. Better not be seen in a French shirt around here, though. I noticed they were all on sale in Migros. I will not be supporting Brazil. They're too good and have plenty of people after them.
