Sports Cafe... SCUK or SUCK?

Sports Cafe UK, or SCUK as they like to call themselves, disappointed us AGAIN on Wednesday. The occasion was Norway's away game in the second leg of the World Cup Play Off, against the Czech Republic. Last time the bar let us down was when Rosenborg played against Real Madrid at Lerkendal. We called the place to check that they would show the game. But did they? No... The only channel they had that showed parts of the game was some Arab station that switched between four different matches, constantly. That was really crap, and I was there with one Real Madrid supporter (Robert) and one Rosenborg supporter (Harald).
This time, they also claimed that they would show the match. And they did, if you call showing the second half 50/50 with the Slovakia-Spain match. And the most annoying part was that other matches shown were Wales-Cyprus (!), Ivory Coast-Italy(!!) and not to mention some minutes of a Lorenzo Lamas film(!!!!). Of course these were all more interesting than a Play Off match where the outcome still was unclear (Hey, I'm Norwegian, I have to say that!)... And the Slovakia-Spain match. Such tension! Spain won the first leg 4-0, and Slovakia was barely on Spain's side of the pitch in the entire first half. Well there's excitement! I think the Sports Cafe is a terrific palce to go to see Champions League matches and England games, but this was really disappointing. I'll use this opportunity to congratulate Czech Republic. Well, I guess it was deserved over two matches.
Now to something completely different! This weekend I'm going back to Haugesund. Kjersti and Asbjørn are both reaching their 25th birtday, so the 50th anniversary is to be thoroughly celebrated! I really look forward to see Elisabeth again, along with all my friends. The weekend will without a shadow of a doubt be great!
I'll celebrate for Australia and Trinidad & Tobago as well the weekend. At least SOME B-nations in football made it...
