FIFA World Cup 2010

On Saturday, we got up at 5:00 am and went to the Alpenhaus to watch Germany vs. Argentina in the quarter-final match of the World Cup. There were about 1000 people there, in all range of German colours and regalia. Flags were flying and spirits were high, even considering that no alcohol could be served until the match was over! I missed all 4 of the German goals, due to the exuberance of the fans who would stand up whenever the ball approached the Argentine goal. In the end, it was a grand day for the Germans, who blanked Argentina 4-0 in one of the biggest upset matches of the tournament so far.
