Emotional football
My first complete football games watched as a result of the curiosity and excitement created around the world cup, but of course for someone as me who doesn’t know much about football, it was certainly very emotional. Lets compare it to a show on TV: the characters; the good guys, the bad guys, the cheaters, the nobles, the immature, the aggressive, the leader, etc. And the strategy: team attack, individual approach, taking revenge. Of course, its not really important the skills of the player more than the background of his previous strategies and approaches that describe him as the character to play in the game. Three games were watched in Hofdijk with the biggest football fans; Frantanu and the rest of the AI team.
- Going back to the stone-age: Netherlands vs Portugal. Describes as such by some dutch friends and ending in 15 yellow cards as an output
- Requiem for a dream: Ukraine vs Italy playing and us watching the frustration a world champion fighting for their team to win while loosing his shine.
- Stop the mum’s jokes: France vs Italy – the big final between France and Italy. The best French layer lost his mind while listening to a very bad (or should I say good? Mum’s joke) meaning the end of the game for France I have to say I definitely enjoyed watching the three first games I have and do it with a crew of 20 crazy fans with different perspectives and passions around the sport that get together thousand of crowds….or after all get them separate?
