World Cup 2006: Germany

Football insanity in Germany

As soon as I landed in the airport in Germany, it was everywhere.

Ecuador v. Costa Rica in Hamburg

And the array of hats! I just wish I'd taken a picture of the Dutch guy with the orange, plush, (cooked) turkey hat.

Si se puede! The game.

between games in Amsterdam

Watching lots of football in bars and coffee shops.

Ecuador v. Germany in Berlin

The pre-game spectacle might have been better than the game.

Scenes from the game; we stayed in Prenzlauer Berg, in the eastern part of Berlin. And walked and took two trains to the game, stopping near Alexanderplatz for lunch with Oli.
