3:0 Germany has won against Ecuador!

It's been such a great experience - I've visited a friend in Leipzig and we watched the game from the official Viewing Area.  It's been so growded, but the spirit was fantastic - I've never experienced something like this before - patriotism in Germany - I never new so many German flaggs existed at all.

I cannot

They've been giving the German flags out free in packages of washing powder (I kid you not). The public view area here in Munich at the Olympia Park is starting to exceed the crowd capacity of the stadium, straining the famous public transit system. Craziness. I'm annoyed from yesterday though, the Germans in Nurnberg yesterday showed up to cheer for Ghana (but only vocally after it was clear they were going to win `:/ (that is supposed to be a half-frown, dubious raised eyebrow emoticon, btw)

Well, here you got flaggs for free only if you bought three Henkel-products etc...but that's still something new. I am here in the province far away from the main tourist areas - you only see a single flag on special occasion (like the death of J. Rau) in front of the city hall. A lot of people had American flags or the Union Jack, but no one a German one.

Well, when I've seen the game Ecuador-Germany it was obviously for whom the crowd cheered, but the other one - we cheered for both...
