I hurried out of work early so that I could catch the second half. I didn't check the score before I left work, because I assumed it would be a max of 1-0 either way. I had to look around the screen a bit when I got home, looking for the score box, because it wasn't even registering with me that 5-0 was possible. I don't have a strong rooting interest with these teams, so I was mainly disappointed that it wasn't a good match. Maybe I'll root for the Dutch in today's game to support of veen.
