That was way to early for some stupid soccer

What a weird and long day this is gonna be...

Yesterday I talked to Andrew and he made sure that I was going to watch the Sweden-England game at 7am... well fine I thought... Then other people wanted to come to, like my boss, Kim and Andrey.
We were thinking a bit for the best place to be when I got a reply for my Email to the Swedish consulate... apperantly they had booked alot of seats in the pub feathers down town so thats where we went in the wee hours because they said it would be packed by 6.30 :-(

To prepere for waking up so bloody early I went to bed at 10pm yesterday which is like the earliest i've been to bed in a loong time. And since the evening was so short we took the opportunity to wash, clean and shop as well... so yesterday just zipped by.

Soccer breakfastThis morning we were there by 6.30 pretty empty so we got a nice table ordered in some big breakfast and dug in. By the time the game started it was pretty packed by Swedish and brittish supporters alike.

Thanks to Andrew I was sporting a nice big very very yellow shirt so not to hide who I was sympathizing with.

The game itself was fairly exciting, England dig totally dominate first half and scored one goal before the break.
Then the Sweidsh coach must have yelled a bit at the players for sucking and it seems to have worked because in the second half they did much better and scoring pretty quickly.
England scored again tho and it looked dark a long time. but then with less than 30 seconds to go (excluding overtime) Sweden scored and it was 2-2 which is how it ended.

it's just 9.42 in the morning and I have already been up for four hours... this has to be some kind of record... I deserve a medal :-)

andrew says next game is Sunday 3am and I am quite sure he is going to make sure I am there then. that is going to be seriously heavy... maybe I should work 8 hours overtime and take monday off :-)
