So, The World Cup is going strong here in Germany. Tonight we are going to go to the center of town where they play all the games on big screens. It's going to be one of my favorite teams, the Dutch, vs. Argentina. It's supposedly the best matchup as far as skill so far here in the World Cup. GO DUTCH!
But on a more cultural note, a few of my friends and I have noticed that it's the first time that we actually have seen Germans flying their flag. Ever since world war II and even through reunification the Germans have grown up to be unnationalistic if thats a word. They are not proud to be German on the whole. So now with the World Cup in Germany and the German team doing well, we see a lot more pride for Germany and their country than we've seen this far. It's really nice to see.
I went to the Spain vs. Tunisia game the other day. It was amazing! Even though neither team really is my favorite, it was pretty cool to be dressed up cheering for a good team in the World Cup. Beer there was 3.50€ for a .33L cup. Outrageous.. and they only sold Budweiser. A .5L of Coke was 3.00€ Not much better.
Can't wait for the 3rd place match July 8th!
