How about that Euro Cup! Unfortunately, Russia is bowing out now, since they didn't work out very well against Portugal today, but Greece is dark-horsing their way through the first round of matches! They beat Portugal already, and then came in with a buffering tie with Spain, putting the two at the top of the list. Anyway, I don't know if too many of you care about football (soccer) but I thought I'd let everyone know that Hellas is doing great!
I get picked on at school for liking it. A lot of my buddies don't get soccer either, but they get baseball and football and basketball. My theory is that everyone in our country is addicted to instant gratification, and since soccer is a slow-to-score game with victories usually only by a point or two, nobody here likes it. That and the fact that our team isn't the greatest, but I think that has more to do with low public interest.
