ENEVA,SWITZERLAND JUNE 10TH 2008.I WAS HERE LAST IN 1953 WITH MY FAMILY AS WE MOVED FROM CAIRO,EGYPT TO TETUAN,SPANISH MOROCCO .

WE JUST ARRIVED TO THIS BEAUTIFUL CITY IN GENEVA (OVERLOOKING THE WORLD FAMOUS LAKE) AFTER A LONG TRAIN RIDE FROM BERN (BACK TO ZURICH) WHERE WE SAW HOLLAND EMBARRASSED AND HUMBLED THE WORLD CHAMPIONS. THE GAME WAS WONDERFUL ATTACKING AND TECHNICAL SOCCER AND WATCHING LIVE WAS A PLEASURE AND A PLUS FOR SOCCER AT THIS LEVEL.

VAHE AND I ATTENDED THE GERMNANY POLAND GAME IN KLIGENFURT AT THE SOUTH EASTERN SIDE OF AUSTRIA ON SUNDAY (10 HOUR TRAIN RIDE EACH WAY).
WE ARE NOW AWAITING THE PORTUGAL GAME BEFORE HEADING BACK TO WATCH HOLLAND FRANCE IN BERN ON FRIDAY.I WILL MISS THE REST OF MY GAMES HERE AND ALL THE QUARTERFINALS ALSO.I HAVE TO FLY BACK FOR THE WESTERN REGIONALS IN HAWAII WITH MY U16 AND U14 GIRLS JUNE 16 TO THE 22ND.I WILL HAVE TO COME BACK FOR BOTH THE SEMIS AND FINAL IN VIENNA.I WILL BE DEAD TIRED BUT WORTH EVERY SECOND. I WILL VISIT THE EUFA OFFICE IN GENEVA TOMORROW AND THE OLYMPIC OFFICE IN LAUSANNE.

HOPE YOU ARE ALL WELL AND ENJOYING THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GAME IN THE WORLD.

WE SURE MISS ENGLAND HERE NOT THE SAME.

LE ROY CHERIF.

SWITZERLAND HAS THEIR OWN MONEY(FRANCS) AUSTRIA HAS EUROS. WE GET KILLED WITH OUR DOLLARS BUT WE HAVE TO CHANGE EVERY TIME WE CROSS THE BORDER.WE ALSO HAD TO GO THROUGH MUNICH GERMANY BY TRAIN.

SWITZERLAND HAS FOUR CULTURAL SECTIONS EACH ONE WITH A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE GERMAN-FRENCH-ROMANS-ITALIAN.2 OUT OF 3 I AM COOL WITH THAT.
