I hurried out of work early so that I could catch the second half. I didn't check the score before I left work, because I assumed it would be a max of 1-0 either way. I had to look around the screen a bit when I got home, looking for the score box, because it wasn't even registering with me that 5-0 was possible. I don't have a strong rooting interest with these teams, so I was mainly disappointed that it wasn't a good match. Maybe I'll root for the Dutch in today's game to support of veen.
I was standing in line at a store when I saw a TV scoreboard displaying 5-0 and only 30 minutes on the clock. My jaw was open for a solid minute. I'm impressed with the maturity of the response from Brazilians, they took it in stride. Apparently they only riot about things that actually matter. I'll be cheering for the Dutch today because 1) I told veen a couple weeks ago that I think they have a good chance to win the cup 2) Deutchland vs. Dutchland is mildly humerous, and 3) I like watching superstars fall from glory at the hands of good teamwork.
Yeah, it was pretty unbelievable. I'll jump in on the veen bandwagon and root for the Dutch as well. Games at 4 o'clock EST right?
Yeah, it's at four. Sorry veen, but I've been on the Argentina bandwagon all tournament. I love Messi and Di Maria.
