World Cup

So is anyone traveling to Germany for the World Cup?
If so what team are you cheering for?
What is the travel going to be like? Busy? Hotels? Let us know!

I'll most likely fly home (Germany) for it
I'm still hoping that the Czech Republic will qualify, if they do, they are my team, otherwise Germany

1. USA 2. Mexico 3. Germany. Whether I go or not, depends on the money. Eitherway, I can not wait.

Also, I got a pamphlet from Amex plat that had pretty good deals on packages. At least you know that you will have a real ticket.

My uncle from Mexico went to the cup in France with a client. They bought a package deal, and when they got to the stadium, they found out the ticket was bogus.

Do you have a link for the Amex offer?

I have to admit that the announcement that all 64 games would be broadcast in high-definition helped me decide to stay home for this World Cup.

From my penchant for television, you can surely tell I'll be rooting for the US!

Brasil! I'm going to try and make it. I'm just not sure how much free time I'll have.

My teams are USA ^ (routin' for the home team) and Argentina (because I lived there for a while). So does anyone know about tv offers/packages to watch the games? I live in California.

In any case, I went to France 98, saw 6 games in 8 days. I just realised watching the world cup on tv is much more fun.

Watching at the stadium vs. at home are totally different (even with high def)! I wish I have the time (& money) to go.
