Well, if you cannot read anything new here, then nothing new, nothing spectacular has happened in my life. You should read more often the headline of this diary above! ...

At the moment I spend (or waste) my time, as I have already mentioned below, with watching a lot of football on TV. So, I don't have much time to do anything else.

We are losers?! Well, you might be right. But as far as I can remember we haven't lost against Latvia :-P. - It was a 0-0 draw. But yes, it was like a victory for "small" Latvia and a defeat for "big" Germany, when I consider Latvia has 2.4 million inhabitants and in Germany there are alone 6.2 million organized footballers.

But without strikers you cannot win a match, with no one able to shoot a goal. I think, the "glorious" days of German football has been over at least since 1996 anyway. So, it isn't a big victory anymore to beat Germany. It has happened a lot within the last months and years and it will happen the next months (and years?) again. We can be glad to be the host of the next World Cup, because we are already qualified. In the future we can be happy to qualify for championships at all like Latvia.

At this tournament in Portugal Germany hasn't really deserved to be in the quarter-finals. But I hoped for it just because I wanted to see Holland out. I don't like it and England. When they win, they are not happy because of their victory, but because they beat the other nation, because they can laugh on it, because the always want to win the Second World War again and again, because they think "Britannia rules the world".

I yelled when Beckham shot the ball into the black Lisbon sky and hopefully Holland will suffer that fate next, too. I hope for the Czech Republic to win! They really deserve it!
