Beer fight in Basel

Lots of female fans, too...

Lots of cars, one with tulips on and one with a giant orange clogg, only I didn't get a pic of that.

And my children getting into the spirit of the thing and making friends with the fans.

You'll notice that the water in the fountain has been coloured orange, too....

Frances, I cannot think why you did not drink any Carlsberg. I drank some once, not a whole bottle, I was in Denmark at the time though. I have never told any of my mates.

I'm just getting in... and I'm not to ...um... cultured.

I'm guessing Carlsberg is equivalent to Budweiser? i.e. A really bad beer?


Neat pics Frances!

Excellent photos. I wish we could have seen that -- thanks for sharing your lovely local city and beautiful children (and Mom).

Italy lost on penalties. :-( Still, we had mixed alliances on that one, and Spain definitely played the better of the two sides. Now you've got Germany - Turkey on Weds. That's an unlikely semi-final. Perhaps the Turks will bring great Turkish Coffee.

Carlsberg isn't that bad really, if that's what you happen to like...

No seriously, I don't have an issue with Carlsberg per se, but I do object to being told what kind of beer I should drink. Its the element of coercion that rankles, advertising with a sledge hammer. So my gut reaction is to not ever drink Carlsberg again... that'll teach them!

I think I'm going to support the Russians now, they seem to be playing a good game and I like it when they have younger not so well known players on the team.

Don't like the Turks since that turn in they had with the Swiss team in Turkey a while back - and I think their trainer is way to agressive. But it is impressive how they've managed to turn two (was it?) matches right round in their favour.

Is that a Swiss independence streak we're hearing?
