Football Women’s World Cup Part III

Final Japan-USA 5:3

Yesterday I had to go again to the stadium, this time fortunately to the final, the whole football world cup slowly gets tiresome.

So one would fancy a little drive with the wheelchair, and once again gets a parking place directly at the stadium entrance assigned.

I had taken out again another football shirt, I thought red to be suitable, the other fans were partially dressed up as if the match was in a carnival city!

So you are looking forward to a cozy 90-minute not too stressful women’s football match, and nothing like that. My beloved SLR camera gave up the ghost already before the match, but my “Little Conan” was in a good mood.

It already started excellently. Before the match 1000 colourfully dressed, slightly confused people were running around on the field, trampling down the lawn and calling it final ceremony.

A glass ball, so what…

There was even a little bit of music…

Afterwards the match finally started!

In front of me there was an unqualified foolish clatterer with a kind of castanets shaped as black-red-golden hands. She got on my nerves with her clattering that much that I almost sacrificed half a liter of cider to extinct her confusion!!!

My “parking position“ in the stadium wasn’t too great. From there you could see too well how the Americans constantly dropped the ball.

After 90 minutes it started to get rather cold. Although the stadium roof was closed the heating was probably out of order. This permanent delay of the game by the Japanese players slowly got on my nerves. I was feeling cold, and they permanently scored an equalizing goal. Couldn’t they simply let the Americans win, then I wouldn’t have a cold now and no flat butt either. In the 120th minute the Japanese collected a red card and even got the fairplay reward of the tournament for this…

During the penalty shoot-out my mood hit rock bottom. The Americans still have to practice the 11 meter distance. They almost managed to score the ball underneath the goal.

What flight attendants are doing at the award ceremony they probably don’t know themselves, they certainly have lost their way, the airport is nearby.

When the Japanese finally held the cup in their hands they made a real mess in the stadium. They threw golden emergency blankets cut into pieces from above onto our holy Frankfurt lawn.

My ears are still buzzing from the noise of the fireworks, and because of the closed roof I haven’t even seen anything.

When I finally got outside it started raining, and afterwards I stood with the car in a traffic jam. I won’t forget the final too soon.

Oh, the effect of my medication fades away. It was a great football match yesterday!!!
