Lost Game

Sweden played Northern Ireland in the Euro 2008 Qualifications (to the European Championships in football - or soccer, as Americans call it). Sweden is supposed to have a better team, but Northern Ireland has been a surprise before in the qualification group and won tonight. Thus, Northern Ireland took over the lead in the qualification group from Sweden, though they have played one game more than Sweden. Daniel watched the whole game on TV and was disappointed, he said the Swedish team did not play well, especially not the back line. I don't know much about Northern Ireland. I have never met a dog from there and I cannot think of a dog breed with Northern Irish origin. They seem to be good footballers, at least. I hope Sweden will qualify for the Euro 2008 despite this setback.
