Willow came in. "Hi, Pippi. Has the game started yet?"

Re: OCD: CHAT

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Hi Willow!" she waved. "Nope, the game doesn't start until 3:00 but we have refreshments and the channel is showing some pregame stuff."

River stared at the girl, frowning. There were interesting things in her mind.

Peter came in carrying a Union Jack flag.

"Up England!" he said with a grin. "Ready to lose, Pippi?"

Re: OCD: CHAT

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Well, I'm ready to do somethin!" she grinned back.

"Hey, Peter!" Willow waved one of the English flags Pippi had given her.

Tyler hovers near the door to the common room.

He has to talk to people who aren't Alec or Dr. Pevensie sometime, right?

he's just not sure he's up for sometime just yet.

Re: OCD: CHAT

Willow noticed Tyler in the doorway and uncomfortably averted her eyes.

Re: OCD: CHAT

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter nodded to Tyler. "Come to cheer for England," he asked.

Re: OCD: CHAT

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Hi Tyler!" Pippi chimes when she sees him. "Come on in! Have some Daim (http://www.swedensbest.com/mardaimchoc.html)!"

[[ooc: You can get Daim at Ikea, it's seriously the best candy in the world. I think it's called that because when you eat it you go "Daim! That's good candy!"]]

Seras poked her head in.

"The common room looks brilliant, Pippi!"

Conner had charged all the way up from his archery workshop in the Danger Shop to the fifth floor at breakneck (yet sadly, normal human) speed, so he was out of breath by the time he got there.

This did not in any way damp his enthusiasm.

"Okay, people!" he announced, plunking himself down onto a couch. "Now this is more like it."

Yes, he was wearing red, as he usually did, with white sneakers and blue jeans. This did not in any way constitute partisanship on his part even though he'd promised to root for England. This was just his default wardrobe.

Alec wandered up to the fifth floor sometime as the game was going on. "Hey, this an open invitation party?"

OCD: FOOD!

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

A wide variety of English, Swedish, and yanky type foodstuffs and beverages.

River tried some pickled raw herring. Interesting. Appearantly it was called sill.

OCD: WATCH THE GAME

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

15:00 Eastern on ESPN

Sweden hasn't lost to England in 38 years.

Just sayin'.

First Half!

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Anthems have been sung, the Captains have met, and the whistle has been blown!

The game is underway!

Half-time!

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

England leads the Swedes 1-0 off a gorgeous goal by Joe Cole. The Swedes have had several good chances though and still threaten.

Second Half

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

And we're underway for the second 45 minute half. Shall the Brits hand onto their lead? Shall the Swedes overcome a 1 goal deficit?

Just remember, football players do it for 90 minutes.

FINAL 2-2

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

And with a goal at the last second, Sweden tied it up with England.

England still wins the Group and progresses to a match with Equador while Sweden moves to the second round as well and will play Germany next.

38 Years, eh? I suppose I should be working on Swedish flag icons for Peter and Walter.

My task for the day.
