Asleep at the game.

“I will not be jet-lagged!”
I kept repeating this mantra in the hope that the force of will would change reality. One early night for recovery might be acceptable but requiring two, come on. Having made the others come with me to the World Cup qualifying match that was on in Riga that Wednesday it was particularly embarrassing that I couldn’t stop myself from nodding off in the second half. Maybe the game had something to do with it, Greece vs. Latvia is hardly the most compelling matchup. Especially Greece, though they probably played the most attractively I’ve seen. Their first goal was very nice with a superbly floated curling cross from the right wing met perfectly just outside the 6yd box by a grateful striker’s head. The whole movement made even better by our seats which were right down by the left hand corner flag giving the perfect angle to see the cross.
