Don, from the warm Florida Keys, thanks for your sympathy. It was a terrible tournament. Even though we reached the final. Our guys are great soccer players but young and nervous.
Let's hope for more joy and less business next WC. And indeed, we do get crazy when the national team plays. It's fantastic. I'm happy for Spain though. We are now definitely champions loosing the WC final. Three times already. It was a party all the way when the guys returned home. I heard. Me myself I watched the final in New York City. Many orange dressed Dutchmen there as well. I noticed that the American people are getting more and more into soccer. Not strange with such a good USA soccer team. They did very well in the Confederations Cup last winter. Gerard 2010/7/22 Don Friedman <[email protected]> > Gerard, > > My sympathies.
