On the computer screen, Gerrard, wearing England's number 8 red jersey, blasted the ball into the goal amidst the boos from the German fans. Wearing a pair of earphones, an impeccably suited man could not help but raise his arms and cheer loudly.
Although it was during office hours, no one was surprised by his actions, because everyone was doing the same thing as him. A dozen pairs of arms were raised high in the office, and everyone cheered together.
But this situation was an exceptional case. Many people in a lot of companies and even government agencies left work early at this time. The majority of people gathered in the bars that were everywhere in the streets, sipping beer with friends and watching the game.
The radios of every taxi were tuned into the radio stations that broadcasted the match. Not only for the passengers but also for the drivers themselves to follow the game.
