FIFA World Championship 2006

As everyone knows I am not a soccer-fan at all. So I've known in advance that being in Munich in June 2006 would be a tough time for me.
After having successfully ignored the very first game between Germany and Costa Rica I was chased to the match Ghana-Italy and caught some enthusiasm about it.

Furthermore, it is impossible to get out of the championship flow since soccer is EVERYWHERE. Not even at work I am save. Recently, I was discovered as the most not-knowing-anyting-about-soccer woman in our office. Good to know!

In order to improve my knowledge and to cheer up my beloved homecountry I went to tonights match Germany-Poland.
It was great! The atmosphere in the Olympiapark war fantastic although the game was pretty lame until the 91st minute. 1:0 for Germany was reason enough for thousands for Munich soccer fans to invade the Leopoldstraße.

By the time I think I can get used to the sleepless nights: Since the Leopoldstreet is closed for cars after the games every night most of the drivers chose the Türkenstraße instead. I DO live at that street. Let's honk!

Maybe, I will be one of the greatest soccer fans at the end of this world championship...or maybe not.
