Hat Trick

Just realized tonight that this is the third World Cup in a row during which I’ve been in Europe. A recap of vivid snippets I remember from each of the last three tourneys…

2002
Sitting in a park in Geneva, Switzerland with several of my high school French classmates watching World Cup games on a huge screen that had been erected in the middle of a public square area.
2006
Sitting in an alley in the streets of Rome outside a bar that had set up two 32″ tv’s out onto the road so more people could see. Italy won this year, so I remember things being INSANE!
2010
Tonight…whilst enjoying a brew and watching Uruguay (unfortunately) beat South Africa in an Irish Pub of sorts in Antibes, France I made my realization of how Europe calls me to its continent during World Cup years.
That is all. More realizations to come, I’m sure…

USA! USA! USA!


Luckily, this doesn’t apply to me – as I’ll be watching it in real time at a much more reasonable hour (live on tv @ 8:30PM over here in France).
Also, I’m strongly considering / pretty much most definitely going to wear my American flag t-shirt tonight…and probably every other time the U.S. plays this World Cup. I packed and brought it with me solely for the purpose of wearing it on my flight home to the U.S. after 9 weeks abroad since it falls on the 4th of July — only the most patriotic day to return home to the states. However, now that World Cup fever is beginning to hit – I may have to whip out the stars and stripes slightly sooner than expected.
This is what my shirt looks like.

L-I-V-I-N

Still sorry for all the delays posting updates. Been too busy l-i-v-i-n.


Cannes Lions students checking in today and tomorrow, so should have time to add some stuff this weekend — minus the few hours when I’ll be cheering on USA v. England this evening!
