Sun 12th, a sleepy campsite outside Frankfurt

Hello Frankfurt!
Hit the road from Gelsenkirchen with the name of a campsite in Frankfurt scratched on a beer label from an American camper-van fan. No detailed map, no address, no German language skills – but two winning smiles, lots of helpful pointing locals and the likelihood that if you go down enough roads in any given area, one of them is bound to be right - we made it in time to watch the USA Vs Czech Republic on telly.
The German organisers are getting the thumbs up - everyone is saying how great the fan fests are in the host cities, so that fans without tickets really get the buzz…One English guy (with no chance of getting a ticket) said it was
Brilliant! Thousands of fans from all over the world getting drunk together in the sunshine. There’s been no sign of trouble – but then we haven’t lost yet.
Mingled with the flagged-up South Korean fans ahead of tomorrows match with Togo – they are pretty confident of a win but the Togolese are having none of it. We are so chuffed cos we’ve managed to get some tickets for the match courtesy of 成人快手 Producer Dan McMillan who happened to be passing the Togo FA a few weeks ago….he gave us a pretty good deal on them!
