Day:175, Words:175

St.Hans is an important day of celebration but then again is a day that not many people really know anything about. Most agree that it has something to do with summer nights, bonfires and drunkeness. As the non football parents prepared their bonfires with piles of branches and unwanted goods on the shore, the rest yelled and abused teenage refereess, cheered on their own and discussed in harsh tones with the opposiion coach about the unnecessary treatment of their players. It was somewhat of an Italian diving seminar at the Nordreisa tournament, with best actor awards given out left, right and centre. It appeared that far too much attention had been given to the clowns, at the slightly more popular tournament in Europe, who receive a slight kick to the ankle before writhing in agony, clutching their untouched heads, thighs, stomachs and noses.

While Spain ended French dreams of victory, a sensational day was enjoyed here with fine weather, hot dogs and waffles. Exhausted kids begged for sleep, in preperation for the final push tomorrow.
