Ghana-USA- Si se puede (our Costa Rican chant applies here)
We arrived last night to a little village outside of Nuremberg. When we say litte, we mean it. It lead Mark to question whether Germany really is an industrialized country. The village did not have a grocery store, however, we did manage to meet some Americans from Washington, DC and New York. I guess they were as cheap as us and did not want to pay the high hotel bills in the city.
Well the place is covered with Americans and American flags. The game between the U.S. and Ghana begins in about 3 hours. As it gets closer to game time it is going to be harder and harder to pull him away from the ticket scalpers. In a rather ironic twist, Mark wants to shell out the money to see the game live, Lisa is happy to hold on to the Euros and watch it at the Fan Fest. We are not talking a trivial amount of money for the tickets, after all.
We found out who we are going to see play in the Round of 16. We picked up our tickets and we have the Germany versus Sweden match in Munich. We were both hoping to see England play, Lisa for the atmosphere, Mark so that he could finally understand what he was cheering. Mark is going to cheer for Germany, Lisa is switching to cheer for Sweden- going so far as to buy a Swedish T-shirt. (Lisa: I cannot stand to fall asleep to another night of cheering from the Germans "Berlin, Berlin, wir fahren nach Berlin". Hopefully the Swedes can knock them out!)
Our town was so small that we doubt we will find an internet cafe. Hopefully we can find something on the road tomorrow in Rothenburg ob der Tauber to write some more.
Go USA!

What a great game to watch!! Germany versus Sweden. Both have been explosive.
England is tough and their fans rabid. But also true for Germany and Sweden.
My dutch son is actually talking to scalpers?
Nice to be a part of small town even amongst the hub bub of international athletic clamor
Buenos dias. This is Julianna and I just read all your blogs. That liquid sour cream and the chocolate pudding mix must have tasted really yummy (hehe). Sounds like your having a fun time.
If Lisa is rooting for Sweden, then she'll have to come up with a new dance to replace the "Wanchope", which sadly won't be danced in the second round. I've just taken a glance at the names of the Swedish forwards and I see some entertaining possibilities. On the one hand, the "Elmander" sounds rather mysterious and would offer Lisa a lot of creative license. On the other hand, the "Allback" is rather suggestive and could prove very popular with the Swedish fans. Make us proud, Lisa!
I am working on the dance moves now. Hopefully I will get to use them.
Julianna, we found a bridge with your name on it. We'll have to show you the picture we took of it in Traverse City.
Oh, and Andrew, I am not sure I can do better than Dempsey's dance. Did you see that one? I'll try, but I need to stop cheering for the underdogs, it doesn't give me much opportunity to cheer.
