Espana.....a casa!

It's official: every team I root for will lose. The USA, Holland and now Spain. With that said, I'm now throwing my weight entirely behind Italy, for hope that those cheating scumbags get their come-uppance. But for now, some photos:


Before the Czech game, before we knew what hit us.



For the Italy game, we stayed in Mannheim, about 45 minutes away. The hotel was really nice, a smoking deal, but it had one odd flaw: the door to the bathroom was almost completely see-through. Privacy remains optional in Europe.



Me and Joe before the Italy game.



And after.


FIFA made the fans take down this Free Pablo (Mastroeni) banner before the Ghana game. Losers.



Before the Ghana game...before we knew what hit us.



With Joe's girlfriend Veronika, or Vroni, or Vronerl, at the Hofbrauhaus beer hall in Munich. And we aren't drunk, it just looks that way!



Mom will be so proud!
