This was the big day...The knock out quarterfinal match between Germany and Argentina and we had a day off in Munich. It was important to not piss away this golden opportunity and locate the most buzzing venue to watch the match. We finally zeroed in on the Olympic stadium where over 30,000 screaming fans were expected to watch the match on a giant screen. Probably the next best option to watching it live in the stadium...
When we checked for the availability of the tickets, we were politely told – “only if you support Germany”. Support we sure did and what a carnival it turned out to be. It was a complete rout of the solid Argentineans by the young and dynamic Germans.
The ride back home was indeed a memorable one. The entire city was celebrating and every corner was buzzing with victory cheers. Germany as a country is known to be inclusive. Consider this – 9 out of the 11 football players are children of immigrants. Thus it comes as no surprise that all of us were whole heartedly welcomed in the celebration...the flag was painted on our face and everyone obliged when I was roaming around the streets clicking pictures!
