Goedemorgen! Okeydoke! To elaborate: Yesterday I had class at 1. It was a decent class. I had done all the reading and knew it really well, so that was exciting. :-b
After class I wandered over to Waterlooplein (the big flea market). There were 2 dudes playing klezmer-y music on accordion and clarinet. The accordion guy was singing too. They sounded really good. I gave them some change. Then I got an orange "Holland" shirt for €4 and a bright orange soccer ball hat for €1. I love the flea market!
Hung out with some people before we left for the game. Then we all met at Central Station at 7:30 and got on the Metro.
The game was really fun to watch. Netherlands dominated most of the time, but they could not score a goal. Tim Howard, the US goalkeeper, was amazing! He made a ton of saves. I was kind of sad that the first goal was a penalty kick on him. That's not fair. But I was happy to see Netherlands winning.
The final score was 2-1 Netherlands. USA didn't score until towards the end, and after they scored the game got really interesting. Holland was tired, and US was excited. It got very close for a while, but in the end, I was wearing the right color.
:-)
Today I have to do a bunch of reading before class at 4. Better get on that!
Are comments not working or something? Everyone keeps sending me e-mails instead. Not that I mind the e-mails. Just wondering.
Hey Maya, I just have to tell you again how much I love reading your blog. And I love the links and photos, etc. You look good in your flea market soccer gear; the orange and black - same as Ipswich HS!

ReplyDeleteEmails, I'd guess, are easier because not everybody has google accounts?
