As you already know, the World Cup is being hosted by Germany this time around, so many of the games are extremely close to Strasbourg. Believe it or not the chance to get tickets for less than 500 euros is next to impossible (they really take this sport seriously over here), so we went Saturday night to Offenburg, where they had a big screen TV setup in the main square to watch the Italian vs. US team.There were a surprisingly large number of Italians in Offenburg, and they were pretty rowdy . . . at the beginning. Even though the game ended in a 1-1 tie, and the Italians basically scored the point for the US; all agreed that the US played really well.
