Lukas Podalski scores the first goal and the crowd goes nuts
The crowd
Goal!!!!!!!!!
On Sunday evening, Germany played Poland in their first game of the European Championsihps. This isn't something where a few people watch, it's where everyone watches. The question isn't if, but where. After having a grill party with a bunch of friends at my place, we headed up the university to watch on an outdoor screen on the makeshift sandy beach. We got there a half hour before the game and it was packed, but luckily we squeezed into a spot in the middle, where we could see most of the screen. There were an estimated 2000 people there watching the game.
The game was highly entertaining from the start, with Germany almost scoring in the 4th minute, but Gomez messed up. He later messed up again, but was saved by Podalski who scored 2 goals. Over the past year, I've gotten to know most of the players on the team through many games on TV and one in person. Finally on the big stage, Germany came out and whooped Poland 2-0. Lots of cheering, flags and face paint all around. On the walk back home, everyone was honking horns and going nuts, although it was just the first game and was 11pm.
