I just got busy teaching. First session ended a few days ago and second session begins tomorrow. Since I have been here at Catholic University. I have had a chance to watch a couple of the Euro 08 matches. Sadly, I had to miss the final today because of work but I did get a chance to watch a rather top notch DC United walk all over Becks and Landycakes at Fado. I also made my way out to a very sketchy part of DC where RFK stadium is to buy myself United jersey. I do not really support the MLS because it refuses to eat its Wheaties and become a real league, but I figured I might as well have a team in it, so I picked DC.
The matches that I got to see were rather stunning. What really surprised the hell out of me were the Netherlands. This is a team that I had never really put much stock in but by God when the time came, they got down to business. The goals were simply top class and the form was spot on. It is a shame that they had to go out when they did. I also got to see Germany play Turkey and I must say, watching the game next to a Germany fan made the world of difference. Our office coordinator is from Germany and he was absolutely awesome to have around. However, he was not all that happy this afternoon after Germany lost.
As for the United game, I got to the pub at about 12:30 today and had boxty and beer for breakfast. I have no clue what was going on with the Galaxy or United for that matter but it was truly amazing to see United walk all over Landycakes and Becks. The touches were spot on as were the shots. This will probably be my last post for a while, a new group of students get here tomorrow, so happy 4th of July (albeit a bit early) and happy footy all.
