World Cup 2006: In Berlin

Hey all, with a fellow Case alum, we both trekked over from London to the capital of Germany to enjoy the festive and excitement of World Cup football in Berlin.

Over half a million German fans packed the Fan Fest area around the Brandenburg Gate for their game against Sweden. We managed to get in there for the Mexico v Argentina game and the England v Eucador the next day. Then we ventured over to a cafe for dinner and watched the Portugal v Holland game on the tele.

As such, here are some pictures:

A lone US fan was still in Berlin. He is actually an enlisted soldier on leave for a month.

Mexican fans... they did pretty well against Argentina throughout the whole game, but suffered defeat in extra time.
