World Cup Fever

It was amazing! Being surrounded by rabid avid crazed soccer fans who are decked out in wacky costumes and chanting along with drums and vuvuzelas is a goosebump inducing experience. I felt quite underdressed with my two intertwined USA and Argentina scarves. My adopted team got crushed but it was still an awesome game and I have to admit that Germany (with their Polish players) played extremely well. Great atmosphere but I wish I could have seen the USA Algeria game! Donovan is my hero. Here are some pictures from my first world cup (I say first, because, for something this awesome I will obviously have to attend again. Anyone want to go to Brazil in 2014?) :



Notice the Argentinian fairy and aviators

The flags come onto the field

Some disappointed Argentina fans agreed to snap one last juggling shot
