Do you know where Grol has to play?

15 June 2025

Lovely weather—or maybe a little too warm? Of course, we can’t complain. Along the sidelines, it’s busy; people meet and greet each other and shake hands. Then follows a brief chat to catch up. Then the whistle sounds—the first round of matches is over, and the many spectators start moving. On to the second round.

“Sir, do you know where Grol has to play soon?” asks a little boy.
“I already know,” shouts his friend.
“Yeah, sure. He always says that,” comes the reply.

Meanwhile, the speakers announce: “Dear visitors, please stay behind the fence.”
In short, we’ve started.

Then a yell comes from locker room 9—the Grol boys are ready for their first match of the tournament. They’ll be playing Lille OSC on field 2. People still standing in the long line at the ticket counter have to hurry if they want to see the game.
