With my forthcoming trip to the Ice Hockey World Championship final now only 15 days away Latvia are still in with a chance (although highly unlikely one) of reaching one of the 2 matches I’ll be watching. I suspect however that I won’t be cheering on our adopted home team. Even so though Latvia managed a highly creditable 1-1 draw with the Czech Republic last night, with the Latvian goalie saving an amazing 30 saves!
This weekend also sees my football club (Lincoln City) needing only a draw to grab the last play-off place in League 2. If they manage it will be the fourth successive season and maybe this year it’ll be our turn to be promoted!
Whatever happens to either team it is amazing how we can get so passionate about the sports teams we support, but so few Christians manage to exhibit the same sort of passion in their expression of faith. Why is that?
Hi Graeme, I’m not a sports fan.. really NOT.. but when I saw the hockey teams playing were Canada and Denmark in Riga.. I was glued to the t.v. nOT WATCHING THE GAME BUT WATCHING THE PEOPLE HOPING TO SEE SOME OF YOU.. however, I was disappointed and couldn’t find you in the crowd.
I hope you enjoyed the games..
Love to all,
Wilma
Only watching on TV at the moment, although I am off to the bronze medal and final! Unfortunately, Latvia lost 5-0 to Finland last night an now face a tough match to get through to the 2nd round!
