Even F1 stops for football

Depending where you live you may or may not get this piece.

In my neck of the woods, or blue marble, everything stops for the World Cup or UEFA Cup matches. So that is every two years!

Government clerks of Curacao now turn their backs to the service window and look instead to the TV or computer screen continuously. Others call in sick or go to the doctor's office, where the TV is tuned in to the match as well.

Basically, just about everyone watches the matches. Even the Formula One world stops to watch football (in the USA known as soccer).

This is evident from the picture on the right. This is near the pit of reigning F1 World Champion Sebastian Vettel, where he was found among the many chain-smoking Germans, watching Schweinsteiger bust some heads.

Thanks for reading.
