World Cup Germany 2006 football soccer fans England Sweden beer garden
Erwin and I went down to the Stadtgarten to watch the broadcast of Germany vs. Ecuador in the first round of the World Cup. We even had our picture taken for the "Worlds's biggest fan photoalbum". Later that day, Erwin accompanied me in my quest for an affordable ticket to the England Sweden match. 59,999 other England fans in the city without tickets made it quite a seller's market and the cheapest ticket - $650 - as well out of my range.Germany fans gather in the Stadtgarten in Köln to watch television coverage of Germany vs. Ecuador, not far from Yvonne and Erwin's apartment in Ehrenfeld.
