Semis against Russia

There's a curious sense of calm this evening, and that's not because we Catalans don't want Spain to win - half the team's Catalan, anyway. No. It's very different from the game against Italy, which was a question of national pride. I think we're pleased to have got this far and quietly confident about the result. Anyway, I'm going down to the bar now, but I think I'll come back  and watch the second half at home - my daughter's getting into football for the first time in her life and it has to be seen to be believed!
