why not skip the soccer, go drink in the city!!!

abierman said:

we're already doing that too.

but i love football. it's just so sad that, despite all of us being pretty good players, we've got noone who can play in goal, so we're going to get slaughtered in every match.

Okay, here's the thing.

I'm flying out to Amsterdam on Friday for a small football tournament, called the "International WV-HEDW Fraterization Tournament 2005"

Any-hoo, if anyone happens to be in the area and would like to meet on, say, Saturday night, it would be totally cool to sink a few beers with you.

If anyone actually wants to come and watch any of the footie, they're more than welcome - games are on Saturday and (if we do any good) Sunday. I might not be playing too much because i have a broken toe and (i've just discovered) strained ligaments in my right foot. But we'll see. Info about where the tournament is can be found on www.wvhedw.nl

not sure where exactly we're all staying, but i'm told that it's: (a) central and (b) a shithole.

Drop me an orgnote if you might be able to come along and i'll give you my phone number.

Gooey, minnieg & howcomeyoudon'tcallme possibly gonna be able to see me at some point?

agcm - barring house move problems, you gonna be able to come?

anyone else?



Okay, we're boned. We've got 14 players going over (was 15) because our goalie has just dropped out!! None of us muppets can play in goal, and the flights are fully booked, so here we go:

Does anyone in Amsterdam want to come and play goalie for our team? Gooey, Isten, Abierman? Don't suppose you've pulled on some goalie gloves before?

Desperate plea over.

Hey. Help the poor guy!
Always "I love Froggy" and "He's so nice in every way" but when he needs help you turn your back on him.

There must be at least one of you who can play football or who has a son that does

Don't tell me all Dutch footballers are in Barcelona

We're English for goodness sake.

we are at our best on a wet day, with studs flying everywhere and very aggressive tackling.

none of this arty-farty 'skill', or whatever it's called.

It'll be ok.

I'll be there to throw buckets of Gatorade over you if you get heat exhaustion.

Has anybody told Gooey he's the goalkeeper?

Maybe he should know before Saturday

mind your own business

the plan is not to tell him, & that way he'll turn up.
