So on the 12th, I got to see my first international soccer game. The German national team played Romania in Cologne in front of 44,500 people. It was amazing. So much energy in the air as German won 3-1.
It didn't start off too good, with Romania scoring in the 3rd minute and looking better, but as the fans were saying, the game is a full 90 minutes.
Everyone was chanting and singing throughout the game as well as waving flags. Lots of German pride all around. More than expected from what we had been told.
Lukas Podalski, the 22 year old superstar used to play for Cologe a few years ago, so the crowd loved him and keep shouting his name whenever he touched the ball and especially when he scored the 3rd goal.
I'm now all set with a German scarf, a little German soccer vocab and some awesome German soccer songs.
