Football is back!

No, not the American game (as a fan of the ultra-pathetic San Diego Chargers, I'm entitled to be down on American football at the moment)...I'm talking European football. Soccer, baby! The other night, local favorites FC Basel tied Inter Milan in the first round of their two-game series in the Champions League competition. I couldn't watch the match because we don't actually get any Swiss TV stations (don't ask...), but I could hear anguished screams from nearby houses throughout the evening.
