Yes, of course I do. I must admit I didn't see any of the two matches
yesterday, since mondays are the backgammon day, and I was busy playing
backgammon. I guess I will see the rest of the matches of Denmark and
Sweden. I saw the England - France match.

In some kind of way I can understand you. It's not really entertaining.
It has improved over the years since Egil "Drillo" Olsen was the
coatch, but you still see the boring football. It's like seeing
Karpov winning a chess game. Strong moves, but really boring!

What?

**looking up the paper to see who commented yesterdays match**

Svein Graf and Lars Bohinen? There is only one good football
commentator in Norway: Arne Scheie! He knows everything about
football.

> The Norwegian ones were more neutral and less excited.

I believe that!  I guess the two norwegians was just as boring
as drying paint. The best thing is actually to see the match at
a "quiet" pub, and let the man next to you do the commenting.
Works fine!

playing?
