Footballers

Footballers, Erich Bödeker, 1970

Last night we met some Scots, first at dinner and then later at 3 AM, when we heard them singing outside our window. Tonight is the big game, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 versus Croatia 🇭🇷. Croatia is favored, being the better playing team and having a home field advantage, but the Scots are here in force to back their team. We came upon the Scottish gathering point, where their march to the match begins. We spent the day in quirky little museums, like the Museum of Broken Relationships and the Naīve Art Museum, where the footballer’s statues came from. We will find a sports bar to watch the match over dinner. The march to the match passes by the hotel and then the Hangover Museum.

Update: It was zero to zero when we left the streets, but it was 1-1 when we finally got the game on the Telly. Croatia took a late game 2-1 lead and Scotland seemingly tied the score at the last minute, but a penalty denied them that.
