World Cup Impressions

Yeah, finally, the World Cup started. The opening game was quite fun, many goals and Germany beat Costa Rica 4:2.

Saturday we went to see the first England match in the ULU pub. I was a bit disappointed about the missing atmosphere, but maybe the game was just too boring. I am sure they can do much better than that.

The best atmosphere so far was Italy vs Ghana. Probably more Italians around than English people during the England match.
I don't like it when Italy scores first since they are the masters of Catenaccio. Usually, the game becomes quite boring then and ends 1:0 ;-)
However, it wasn't that bad this time. They scored twice and eventually deserved to win the game, although Ghana did quite well.

What I really like about watching the World Cup in London is that no matter what team is playing, you always find people from this country supporting their team.
