Greece victorious

Watched the first half of the match in our tv room last night. Quite a few people were there watching it, as they had exams the next day. But, then I found Raphael who also wanted to go and watch it from a pub, like I did. And during the half-time we went to a pub. It was crowded as hell, with just enough standing space. Watched Greece play outstanding soccer with a couple of beers and cigerettes. They fully deserved their maiden win.
Then after the match, we walked along the streets to hear a cacophony of car horns. Almost every car was speeding along the roads honking, shouting, waving flags, shirts, and whatever they could find. We cheered them on. The sleepy Swiss people were getting up from their beds and peering through the windows to see what it was all about.
