At 20:30, the moment when Antena 1 released the show, the world was already gathered on the terraces that broadcast the show. Larger or small groups were in front of the TVs. They were mostly formed by women, but among them were men. “We are not microbiists, we went out for a beer and talk to each other as long as the girlfriends look at the show,” said one of them.
At another terrace, some of the employees were taken by surprise, but they replaced quickly. “Give on the television that the island of love begins. The world looks and someone else comes,” was the message of a waiter to his colleague.
Of course, there were also TVs that were preparing for Shkendija – FCSB. They were on DigiSport, where the match in North Macedonia was prefaced, and returned the ends of the male audience, eager to find out the latest news.
At 9:00 pm, the start time of the match, the first images from Skopje began to appear. In total, only three places offered the microbes the opportunity to see the match, two of them being known bars for the sports theme.
“Being only on online platforms, we can't give it because we have no subscription. I heard that it would be on a post in Macedonia, but I don't know details. That's it.
And he wasn't the only one. There were many places where the TVs did not offer either Shkendija – FCSB and the “Island of Love”. They were started on the Digisport 1 station, even during the match, and the fans were waiting for information from North Macedonia.
Of all the bars, two were standing. One had 4 TVs, outside, started on Antena 1 and a few more inside. And another had one TV on the show, another on Digisport.
