While I do enjoy soccer, I've just never gotten into the world cup. But these Europeans live, eat and breath soccer (or futbol I should say). So needless to say everyone is in a hype about the current worldcup in South Africa right now, so it has peeked my interest. You would think it's New Years Eve or the 4th of July around here. I am going to try and take a photo so you can see how many flags are everywhere. The highways are littered with German flags because people have been putting them on their car and they go flying off. I think it's great that they are so passionate it about it!
So, last night kicked off the world cup and what do you know...it was England vs. USA. I was shocked to see some Germans actually flying the American flag! They really do like us after all!
I haven't met a single person who thinks USA will win, but we did tie England last night at 1-1. Good thing I like to root for the underdog. Let's go USA!
