Hallo zusammen,
afraid I couldn't muster the energy following yesterday's game to adjucate, so it had to wait until tonight. Not that I'm too disheartened, there's always Poland/Ukraine 2012 and Brazil 2014 to look forward to! Just now gotta slowly adapt to WC withdrawal symptome come Sunday. Decided that reading about the beautiful game's the best antidote and I shall be taking my copy of "The Ball is Round: A Global History of Football" down to Greece (I shall be down there 16-26 July) as part of my holiday reading. I recommend it!
As for the events this spring, there's an uncanny quiet in the East, while things are more on the move elsewhere.
The Fall 1941 Moves are scheduled for Wednesday, 14 July.
Liebe GrĂ¼sse,
Charles
