Into the finals!!!

by alda on August 22, 2008

We beat Spain, 36-30!!!

We’ll compete for the gold in men’s handball - and will DEFINITELY take the silver.

wOOOOOOOOtt!!!!

[as soon as the game finished you could hear screaming from just about every building .... it was GREAT!! RÚV had an interview with our Minister of Culture - who is also Minister of Sport - and she was weeping. The whole country is on its head!]

This is the part where you’re supposed to say CONGRATULATIONS! or HUZZAH! or some sort of thing.

jpeeps 08.22.08 at 3:51 pm

Yup - CONGRATULATIONS - let’s hope you go all the way! (Not much work getting done here either, but then it is the Friday before the bank holiday…)
