Yeah, did you realize that nowadays every second topic in a conversation is about football? The funny is that in certain countries, after the Cup is over, they won't talk about it for the next 4 years...
I realized something interesting these last weeks here in Switzerland, probably in other places it also happened. All electro-eletronics newspapers have been advertising which equipment the most? TVs! It is amazing! And compared to a newspaper from 3 months ago the prices aren't cheaper, they are the same, just a few really worth, but now the 'new' TVs have a men playing football in it, and not necessarily a Swiss one.
Why? marketing department thinks people have the rush to buy a new TV? or that the ones that never haven't got a TV at home (like we after a year) will need to buy a TV now in order to watch it? pretty dull, ahn?
But the best thing on the week, to go deep into the subject, was the game Switzerland X Spain. All my Swiss colleagues (rare to find) were saying: we will be very sad after the game because Spain is gonna eat us alive. At the end of the game, going home, the city looked like after a big wedding (here in Europe). All cars in the street (I believe the Swiss ones) were horning to each other, even the buses! In the bus my friend was the bus driver informed in the loud speaker 'Switzerland won!!!', and he got no reaction, then he said it is not a joke, and then people start to make noise, so unexpected victory it was.
This is happiness! I hope they will be good on the next one too! congrats!
