Deutschland, Deutschland!



Our latest group excursion was a public viewing of the Denmark vs. Germany game at the Olympic Stadium.  We weren't at the actual soccer game - we were at the stadium watching the game on a giant tv screen, which was still a lot of fun.  We started by buying lots of Deutschland gear at the train station and dressing accordingly.   The walk through Olympiapark to the stadium was beautiful!

This stadium is so cool!

All of the beer came in a Winnercup :)

My name was all over the stadium!
The game was really fun! I've never watched soccer so intensely before I came to Germany.  Everyone went crazy whenever Germany scored.  All of the Germans had a few cheers, but since we didn't know them, we just yelled random words.  We also got to cheer for our favorite soccer player - Mario Gomez (More on him later).  Germany won 2-1. Deutschland, Deutschland!!
