Football, Day 2

MMM - GL 1-0 (1-0)

Yesterday, we had the 2nd game and we played against the team from the Ministry of agriculture and forestry (MMM - Maa- ja metsätalousministeriö). We fought hard, though the opponents where taller and more stronger physically then our team. Again, our goalkeeper did a very good game. In the first half, we defend most of the time and we had only one good chance. The opponents were more aggressive and they scored in the middle of the first half. In the second half, we attacked more we had two big chances. Unfortunately, none was turned into a goal.
About myself? ... I guess I did "lagom" (not good but not bad) as some Swedes might say. However, I have the feeling that we would deserve a draw specially after the 2nd half performance. I believe we will do better next game. Let's wait and see.

PS: In the Day 1: Finnish Border Guard (RVL) - Finnish Geodetic Institute (GL) 1-1 (1-1)

Trees

Sometime ago, I have talked with Hannu, one of my friends, about trees. As the talk was in English, it was kind of hard to understand about what trees we were talking. Thus, after the talk to clear my mind, I did some research on Internet and summarized the names in Romanian, English and Finnish. Some of the English names, I have not known before as well.
