hoppschwiiz!
ok ok, so im an indian:) and i love cricket...but the pleasure of success of your country in sport is seen throughout the world...and the last 2 matches of switzerland vs. turkey were very special; the fantastic result being that Switz have gone through to the world cup! which is supremely exciting.....
i was at geneva with rob and we were standing outside a bar opposite the railway station , (notice outside as there was no space to get in)...and the thrills and shouts could be heard a mile away....
Switzerland came through , despite having lost the away game to turkey 4-2 (as they had beaten them 2-0 in the home game that was played in Bern- where I live btw!)....; people were honking their horns and generally making a ruckus i am all too accustomed to. Got an sms from CK :) at midnight saying 'yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay we are through to the world cup'' and I felt so happy I had to call him to congratulate him .... way to go !...germany 2006 is going to rock.
What pisses the hell out of me though has been the reaction and crazy behavior of the two teams beating the crap out of each other after the game...read about it here
