Courtney and I just finished watching our first official futbol match in Europe... and it was twenty kids all crowded into the dorm hallway, eating sandwiches, drinking Fanta out of coffee mugs, and taunting each other about whose country team was the best. We just sat back and enjoyed the show - not only the soccer, which was fun to watch, but also the friendship between all of the foreign people we've met from the first floor. And of course, we had to cheer for Germany because Til is German and he would have shot us if we'd so much as uttered that Austria was doing good.
I think the best part of the night, though, was when everyone started jumping around and cheering when the Germans finally scored... and Diego went off down the hallway, ripping off his shirt and cheering in excitement. It was entertaining to see everyone so excited about a fuzzy soccer match that was being streamed live from a random website in Chinese.
I wish we had more bonding over such things in America.
