Orange Surprise


On Friday afternoon I called a colleague in A'dam. A female colleague answered and informed me the guy I was looking for left to watch the game. My comment was - I am not watching as I am sure Dutch will lose and I do not like watching such matches. My colleague agreed. I ended the conversation saying: Well let's see if the evening will bring us surprise. Otherwise we can always nurture sorrow of losing with caipirinhas. I left work when it was 1:0 for Brazil.
Hillary was in town and traffic was of course terrible. Hillary was greeted by a storm. Hurrican like wind and hail. As Kiev municipality forgets city has sewers, for few hours city streets turned into canals with cars almost floating. Fortunatly Kiev's challange to Venice was only few hours long. Once I was home I read on BBC ticker Dutch equilized to 1:1. I started to watch the game. The rest is already written all over. Now I hardly wait for a game on Tuesday.

I am sorry Argentina lost. I hoped on Saturday Argentina and Dutch will play in the finals. Now I expect Dutch-German finale.
