Any of the forum members planning to go to Germany to see the World cup football matches (Soccer for Americans) this summer?
I plan to watch on TV here in USA.
unfortunately the scottish team didn't make it (tough qualifying group, honest guv...not that we are crap at football
) so i didn't fancy taking time off work. my workplace will be showing the matches that happen in the afternoons...the big screen projectors on the dealing floors will be showing the matches instead of the bloomberg market prices! my brother in law and nephew will be going if they can find some tickets though - should be easy enough to pick up some tickets for the less glamourous games.
it will be a good tournament hopefully, dependant on two factors -
1) no hooliganism - although there usually is trouble when holland/germany/england/italy are involved, and
2) england don't win - we still hear of 1966 about once a week
