Oops

One of the big events coming up is the Euro 2004 football (soccer) tournament in Portugal. There's plenty of memorabilia to be purchased, so when I was out today I thought maybe I could pick up a Norway jersey, but I couldn't find one. Switzerland, Spain, France, Italy--plenty of those, but no Norway. Perhaps a reflection of anti-Norwegianism run rampant? Then I realised, maybe I can't find a jersey because they didn't qualify for the tournament (which has to be especially galling since both Sweden and Denmark qualified). I wonder how you say "duh" in German?
