Crazy
Germany has just beaten Argentina 5:3 (in overtime), and the city is going crazy. There has been no traffic at all for the last hour, maybe one car every ten minutes; but now the streets are bumper-to-bumper full, everyone waving flags and honking and shouting. I can't imagine what the scene downtown (at the open-air big screens) must be like.
Germany will meet Italy on July 4, which IMHO should be a "gimme" for the home side, and will then face either Brazil or
I must confess that even I am getting somewhat excited.

Good luck! I was in Germany when it won the 1990 World Cup, and that was an experience to behold. Note to self: stay off the streets of Berlin when soccer matches go well.
Et tu, Brute?

I can't even imagine how truly crazy the scenes around town must be. Wow!
Not wishing to cast a damper, but Italy might prove tougher than you think. And I wouldn't write off Portugal or France either. Nobody would expect France to beat Brazil, but nobody I know expected Germany to beat Argentina either.
Best of luck though.
Well, we all know how good my predictive skills are, after Portugal beat England. But I do think that Italy were (undeservedly) lucky to get past Australia.
"and will then face either Brazil or England on July 9 for the championship"
Ha!
HA!
I laugh in your general direction. Wouldn't it be fun if Portugal won? Oh the car crashes, the head concussions, the alcoholic comas, madness for days and days... Such bliss.
