It's coming home!

Did anybody know? Wales has an international football team! And
very unusually, this year they've qualified for the World Cup!
It seems that a song written by Dafydd Iwan years ago has
recently established itself as the Welsh soccer anthem. Who
needs Nessun Dorma?
Here is a link to a video. All the crowd in the stands seem to
know the words, or at least the chorus.

Dafydd Iwan himself leads the fervent singing, full of hwyl and
a few tears of joy.
If you want to join in, (and how could you not?), here are the
words of the chorus :
Ry'n ni yma o hyd,
Ry'n ni yma o hyd,
Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth,
Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth.
Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth
Ry'n ni yma o hyd,
Ry'n ni yma o hyd,
Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth,
Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth,
Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth,
Ry'n ni yma o hyd.
Easy!

Wales open their World Cup experience against the USA and they
finish group play against England. Spicy!

Not exactly relevant, but a relevant tangent. Make sure to
listen to the last note, especially you, Em:

Linda Lavin, btw, will be 85 years old next month and is still
performing. Brilliantly.

Well, I watched the Wales match on a screen last night. The
commentary was in Arabic but as far as I could understand Wales
did very well. They came second!
By the way, who was the other team? Some obscure country? Ivor
will know. (-;

of the competition. :)

Absolutely! All over Morocco we're celebrating Morocco beating
Portugal tonight, having already beaten Belgium and Spain, to
reach the final of the World Cup to be played next week. An
exciting, nail-biter of a game. One-nil meant that I was on the
edge of my seat until the final whistle! Portugal might have
scored at any time.
Up in Rabat, the King, wearing a Morocco team shirt, and his
son, Prince Moulay Hassan, were driven through the streets
amongst the jubilant throng by his brother Prince Moulay Rachid.
They were waving flags through the open windows. I don't think
that could happen in many other capital cities.
Morocco's achievement is also being celebrated tonight in other
Moslem countries, other Arab countries and other African
nations. Their own teams have been knocked out but they're all
joyfully showing solidarity with us.
So now on to the final next week!

Actually it ¡s the semi-final when they will play France.
EDIT: Just noticed that this is my 1000th post.
