29 June 2008: European Cup

According to my journal, I worked all day today. Tonight was the night of the European Cup Final between Germany and Spain. Of course I was rooting for Germany, with a shout out to all my German friends. I was a little disappointed when Spain won, but it was a well-played game. Most interesting was seeing the King of Spain and Angela Merkel shake the hands of all the players at the end. Jacques Rogge, President of the International Olympic Committee, was in the background. I always wondered what he did in the in-between years.

I had a nice time following this tournament. Apparently I don't scream enough, according to Irina. I'm too reserved and need to let out my emotions. Sorry, I didn't know I had emotions about soccer that needed to be let out. Considering all the screaming Irina did (oh, wow is that ironic, just you wait!) I think she has enough emotion for the both of us.
