But also I must say, that I was surprised to see the way they played that night. Sorry to say, but it was not the same team that won and beated other countries. It looked like somthing happened to them. There were some comments here about not properly spend time before the game. Bilic on the press conference before the game looked very very tired. <BR/>I don't know the truth.<BR/>This is a game - as you wrote - and maybe the most primitive instincts are getting the voice at that time, but at what other occasion can people scream loud their bad energy without police being called? :)Ewahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02460827662984311538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3897847976073903921.post-6205648102453249302008-06-25T02:19:00.000+02:002008-06-25T02:19:00.000+02:00hello violet. after croatia's loss my dad simply ...hello violet. after croatia's loss my dad simply shook his head in disbelief and declared it to be a "tragedy." oh well, you win some, you lose some. <BR/><BR/>I love high-stakes soccer (as we call it in Canada) like the Euro Cup. I live in a very Portuguese neighbourhood. When Portugal won, their fans were dancing in the street. When Turkey beat Croatia, the Turkish fans were out in force just a few blocks away. I didn't even know there was such a big Turkish community here. Even though it's sad to see your team lose, it's hard not to be happy for the winners. I think it's just a great time to celebrate.<BR/><BR/>I realize I never answered your question from a while back...yes, i have had the chance to visit Croatia. I was there in 2002 and visited Zagreb, the Plitvice Lakes, Split, and Dubrovnik. It was wonderful and beautiful, I will never forget the colour of the water at the Plitvice Park. I still doubt it was real.<BR/><BR/>Anyway..happy gardening. I'm sure a soccer victory for Croatia will soon be at hand.<BR/><BR/>Cheers<BR/>IrenaO.I.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11187071254424223374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3897847976073903921.post-8420707511279270932008-06-24T06:37:00.000+02:002008-06-24T06:37:00.000+02:00Footie! It is indeed The Beautiful Game. Oh Violet...Footie! It is indeed The Beautiful Game. Oh Violet what a shame, they played so well and no losses, the emotions up and down. I was thinking of you and so sure they were through, and on the edge of my seat then oh no. Loved your post could feel your passion it welled a tear in my eye. Isnt it wonderful and peculiar how a sport can trigger such strong emotions in people and nation. Like love - for better or worse it sure makes one feel keenly despair and extacy.West Coast Island Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09448488459629381348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3897847976073903921.post-69488158010235070252008-06-24T02:21:00.000+02:002008-06-24T02:21:00.000+02:00Okay, now it went through.
