I am jolted into remembering that today’s early game, 1:00pm local kickoff time, is Iran versus Wales. It comes flooding back: the law student in the tent across the way is from Iran, as well as his friends.
I slip my blindfold back over my eyes, reinsert my earplugs, settle back into bed, and attempt to rest. Luckily, the rowdies head off to the stadium soon after, allowing the rest of us some peace and quiet.
For good measure. I put a pillow over my head and try to get some more sleep.
