Controlled Chaos in Stuttgart

Yesterday was intense. Germany played Poland, and scored with less than a couple minutes left in extra time. It was only a qualifying game, but the streets erupted. I have never seen such chaos before, with the exception of the Woodstock 99 riots (which were also very exciting).

I've found some cool movies about the madness here, this first one is of the opening game as seen in Stuttgart. I was present for this one, the energy was intoxicating. Check it out



Here's another one of the first game actually played in Stuttgart, it was France vs Switzerland, and the fans were awesome. The game actually sucked, they tied 0-0, but again, the energy of the crowd makes up for any boring soccer, any day.



SOOO that's about it for now. It's been an amazing treat to be here for the worlds biggest event. Ive been told that somewhere in the range of 2 billion people tune in to watch these games. How awesome is that?
