@bimmy-lee Yeah, I can understand. Watching sports without sound would seem horrible to me, though.
So usually, if there's something I really want to see, then I either go home, or I see to it that I'm with friends who are also into it, so that we can enjoy it together.
The match was nail-bitingly, almost excruciatingly exciting. With goals coming left and right in the first 20 minutes, and after that, it became a bit of a stalemate for a while, then the irritations and the fouls started to occur, also due to a denied goal, and a penalty. Don't know if you saw that bit. Was the damn video ref again...
As for the play schedule: the Dutch women's match starts at 9pm local time, which is exactly 5 hours and 43 minutes from now.
@ThanosReXXX - Wow, night match in the Netherlands. What a scene that will be. You watching at home in a controlled environment or headed out into the wild?
@bimmy-lee At home. Got a big screen all to myself, and in the city, it's far too crowded for my taste, to be honest, with events like these. If I had some friends around, I might go, but most of them live outside of Amsterdam, and besides that, they too are more of the "rather watch it at home" type.
I think I've mentioned this before, but I like to be able to see the details, and in a stadium or in a crowded environment, things can escape our attention, or we're simply sat too far off the the pitch, to be able to tell.
As for the night match thing: most of the matches so far have been around this time, so nothing out of the ordinary for us. Only in the group stages, when they played two matches a day, did we get one match that was broadcasted a bit earlier. At 6pm local time, to be exact.

@ThanosReXXX - Yep, I’m the same way for Colts games. Gotta watch them at home where I can concentrate, be in the flow, and affect the game with fan karma and superstitious voodoo. I’m on two different group texts during the game with two groups of friends who are the same way. At different times, we watched the games together, but we’d all rather watch from home at this point. I’ll let you know if I get the match and have an opportunity to watch.
@NintendoByNature - Heck yeah, it’s going to be disgusting outside the next few days, but I’m stoking up the old Weber regardless. I have some nice smoked sausages and everything for onion/pepper kabobs on standby, as well our first batch of sweet corn. I need to get that soaking. Still trying to get out and burn a gift certificate at the meat market for some bone in ribeye steaks. I’m not going to even ask IF you’re cooking, instead I’ll just ask what’s on the menu?
@Ryu_Niiyama If they're looking at your tires for an oil change, you may want to consider a new shop......
Nonsense. The oil goes in the tires, smarty pants. That’s what makes them spin so fast!

@bimmy-lee all sounds delish. Haven't had smoked saus in a while. Love me some kabobs too.
Unfortunately, my wife did shopping. I have no clue what she got. But, I know I'll be manning the grill. I did see burger and hot dog buns on the counter when i get home a few min ago. So i assume, it'll have some thing to do with Frank's and burgs
Eye surgery went well. Some bruising on my left one, but I can see out of it fine. I've just been trying to avoid small children. My eyes are still healing - my vision is still a tad fuzzy, and I'm on antibiotic and steroid drops for a week - but I can see much, much better already. It's so weird not needing any sort of eyewear....
But I was offline pretty much the rest of the day yesterday after the surgery. I was highly discouraged from doing any "staring" activities yesterday (not that I felt up for much), which includes screens and reading. I mostly just listened to podcasts and a couple of movies that I'm familiar with.
@ThanosReXXX Heck, I'd go to Europe just to sample some of the local cuisine from each country! Though I do have limits....

@ThanosReXXX remember that tv station the game network .It was brilliant . Wonder why they stoped. That's the sort of tv station I'm looking for. I know tere's good programmes on GINX but game network was better. Also there s no nintendo magazines anymore which is a pity.
