Hup Holland!

I'm sure that our decorating our house and wearing crazy orange clothes helped the Dutch soccer team to their 1-0 victory over Serbia-Montenegro today (the decorations actually first went up for last week's Holland-Mexico friendly match, but it's always good to get ready for the World Cup). But maybe getting up at 6 AM PST to watch the game was the key obsessive fan contribution (yes, I am looking forward to sleeping on the train ride home). In any case, we've had a lovely weekend in Seattle; it's been great seeing lots of friends and watching lots of soccer and GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!

Update: Maybe this link works now?

You should totally go see a game in a crowded pub or something. On Sunday we met a guy who was in Switzerland for the 2004 EuroCup, where he got to see all kinds of crazy international soccermania. Toronto seems like enough of a big international city that you could have a lot of World Cup fun. I love it enough to watch it on my own, but it's way more fun in a big enthusiastic group. (P.S. y'all who can read this --- you're invited to help create just such a big enthusiastic group by watching soccer at our house!)

Yup, I'm going to try to. I keep missing them, or at least not being near a pub when they're going on.
