Surprisingly, I forgot that England played Colombia this morning. So I sauntered into the airport in no particular hurry until I noticed that the game was just starting in the airport bar. But wait. After a lot of consideration I’d chosen to travel my Man U jersey today. Well that won’t do. So I rushed to the bathroom and changed into my Colombia top!
When will this adolescent nonsense end!
But a good and lively crowd in the bar. Although I’m concerned about the guy sitting beside me. Given his Swedish mother; German father and Swiss residency, why would he choose to support Germany and deny any further interest in the tournament since they were eliminated!
To make matters worse, the surprisingly knowledgeable American bartender is a big Spurs fan and, not knowing any better has transposed his Harry Kane infatuation to the national team. I’m trying to educate him about separation of club and country.
And so it begins….only another two weeks of this silliness!
What! Scotland Qualified!!!
