Trying to find a TV to watch the game in the Nairobi airport (one of the worst big airports I've seen) was a harrowing experience. We arrived just as the USA-Algeria game was kicking off, and found that the 3 TVs in the international terminal were all tuned to the England game, as though people might care about that. Luckily, we discovered the "first class lounge" and negotiated a discount rate of $20 each to get in the door. Despite promises that the USA game was on the TV, it wasn't. I worked to get the game put on one of the two TVs (bringing the total in the terminal to 5) and nearly started a diplomatic incident with a Malawian guy who was slumped in a chair watching the game. Thankfully, we resolved it peacefully and were able to finally watch most of the second half.
What a win!
I'm offering a free place to stay for any friends flying in for Saturday's round of 16 game. If you hope on a plane tomorrow, you can be here in plenty of time!
