THE PINEAPPLE THIEF - Enduring perseverance
The George Hotel in Hamburg. The lobby exudes the flair of the British Empire, a London club in Victorian times. Bruce Soord, mastermind of The Pineapple Thief, is ready for an interview a few days after the Brexit referendum and just before the England vs Iceland European Championship round of sixteen. There is a lot to tell about the new album "Your Wilderness" - and about football and the Brexit.
eclipsed: Are you a football fan?
Bruce Soord: Oh, yes. I'm going to watch the game here in Hamburg today in a pub. The whole country's excited. I think England is the favorite. But it's gonna be hard. We don't score a lot of goals. We don't have a real goal scorer.
eclipsed: Iceland plays surprisingly well at this EM.
Soord: Yes, they are well organized. I'm guessing 1-0 for England. It's gonna be tight. England always finds it hard. Or 0-0 and then penalty shootout.
