So, yes, the DE beat Turkey in the Semi-finals... you really couldn't ask for a bigger rivalry considering the large Turkish population actually within Germany. To get a seat in any location you needed to come about 2 hours early... while there 2 hours early, Tomoko and I were too busy trying to meet up w/ other people to actually grab seats. The street we were on is lined with little bars and restaurants, and they all put up little TVs on the outside for people to watch, and the entire street was completely packed... It was like being at a concert, except w/ out the stage. The game itself was a nail biting experience as the DE didn't play so hot for the first half leaving the game tied 1 up at half time. (please note my number 7 was the first to score for DE and actually scored twice). Much to our dismay, lightening decided to strike the satellite broadcast tower in Switzerland... and knocked out the game... to the whole entire world. This near caused rioting within the streets. But in the end, DE pulled it off and we won the game 3-2. The entire city was out on the streets, I've only ever seen anything like it when the Steelers won the super bowl... and its just semi-finals... I can't wait to see what happens on Sunday with the championship...
