THE WORLD CUP

Posted by Picasa
OK, I'm no big soccer fan but if you're breathing, you probably know it is World Cup time. Being in Europe, we are bombarded with it. Soccer (but they really call it football) is like a religion here. Everywhere there are big screen TV's where people sit outside and watch the games. A few nights ago, while driving through a small village in eastern Serbia on the way home, there was a row of outdoor cafes with big screens, packed with people.... drinking and cheering. It is maybe like if our "Superbowl" lasted a few weeks.... it is all there is!
