The Netherlands - Russia
The match between the Netherlands and Russia was the first one I saw live in Euro 2008, and with the 1-3 result it was also the last Dutch game to see in this tournament.
We went with a a couple of friends to Woody's Tavern in Cary, where about 40 Dutch people were watching the game together. It was nice to meet Dutch people in the area, and to watch the game together. Petra was there, and we met Maarten for the first time as well. Two years ago in the World Cup I watched the elimination of the Dutch team against Portugal in a bar in DC.
After the first 90 minutes the result was 1-1, so another 30 minutes were played. About half way that extra time all TV screens stopped showed the game, and a Weather Alert interrupted the broadcast for about 3 minutes, without showing any information on the game... A big storm was coming over the Triangle, and when we drove home we were right in the middle of it. In the evening we had friends over for dinner and it was a very nice evening.
Watching soccer.
Argentines rooting for Holland.
Plenty of decorations.
Belen and Sasha.
Petra, Guus and Maarten.

Re: The Netherlands - Russia
Hallo Guus,
Dank je wel voor je bericht op mijn blog en je link naar hier. Ik had je naam al wel eens voorbij zien komen op Petra d'r blog. Ik had er alleen geen idee van dat jij (en andere bekende namen van haar blog) allemaal bij Woody's waren. Ik zag wel mensen die ik niet kende, maar dacht dat dit mensen van de Nederlandse club o.i.d. waren.
Nou ja, leuk in ieder geval dat je er ook was al heb ik je niet ontmoet, alleen wel erg jammer van de wedstrijd.... :-(
Groetjes,
Jessica
P.S. ben je nu voor Guus?
