Guys watch the Holland-Argentina game, those Dutch fans are crazy and u will have a grt time!

I voted for option C, which was to stay in and write one thousand times:
Q-U-A-N-D-A-R-Y

its got to be the big game, surely? the 'dead rubber', even in a stadium in the world cup, would be boring reading. instead, for me, as a student who cant make it out to germany, i would prefer to read about the things i would be doing myself - watching one of the best games in the competition with the crazy fans (both nations have a fanatical support), and soaking up the positive atmosphere.

Go to the live game,cant beat actually being at a game!

It may be not on your route, but if you have a chance, you should stop in Regensburg since it is a beautiful city. Here is a picture:

Why not make an off wander and go to the Netherlands to watch the game against Argentina?

Maastricht just on the border between Belgium and Germany down in southern Netherlands is probably the closest Dutch city to Stuttgart.

Holland vs Argentina without a doubt, we get all that coverage from the stadiums on telly and the like... no need to double up any more! I'd rough it with the supporters who couldn't get tickets ;)

You should definitely do Holland vs Argentina. Whether to do it from outside the stadium or from the Netherlands, I'll vote for whatever is the shortest drive, since I don't like driving myself.

Going to the Netherlands would be a hoot. I live there, but are sadly stuck somewhere offshore Africa right now, so I will miss one of hte climax points of all the tension and the sea of orange that was already building big time last week.

How about taking in some countryside en route to Ulm. And then just watch both games on TV, whilst consuming some decent beer, in the old town or down by the river.
Ulm is a fine town...and
Ulm Munster has the Europe's tallest spire (161.5 metres - 786 steps). Climb it! If only be able to sneer at anyone who brags about having climbed the tower of Cologne Cathedral (a molehill by comparison). The Munster also houses an enormous organ... I will let you add your own punch-lines.

Holland V Argentina - no doubt about it. Sure, watching a game at the stadium almost always beats watching it on TV, but it will feel like being at the stadium if you get in with either set of fans for the only game in the group that matters.

Save the money for later adventures!

Can't you get some of the Match of The Day team to blag you into the Holland v Argentina game? Alternatively get Celina Hinchcliffe and Alan Hansen very, very drunk and steal their press passes, then pretend to be them. You can fight amongst yourselves about who pretends to be who!

To be honest, I don't think Holland vs Argentina will be the game we were all looking forward to. If Ivory Coast could've got something out of their first 2 games, then perhaps this game would mean something. It'll still be a good game with both managers resting some bigger names and giving chances to some fringe players.
Having said that, I think it is still the best alternative, as Serbia & Montenegro vs Ivory Coast will be very dull.

You should visit Dinkelsb眉hl. It's a pretty medieval town just like the famous Rothenburg, but without the tourists.

"Our blog - What's more interesting to you guys, us at the game or in a little German town somewhere?"

Why should we have to choose? Cannot we have them both?

A molehill of 157 metres height, if memory serves me right :).

YOU GOT TO WATCH THE HOLLAND V ARGENTINA MATCH, WHAT A GAME THAT WILL BE, AND MISSING A BIT OF GERMAN COUNTRYSIDE WON'T HARM YOU, ARE YOU THERE FOR THE SCENERY OR THE FOOTBALL ?

I am currently streaming the Spain vs Tunisia World Cup match Live on ESPN after having to turn off the 成人快手 streams due to stutters and bad video playback.

The ESPN stream is free ( I don't need a license ), higher resolution, no stutters and has awesome British commentary - no non-stop negativity a la Mark Lawrenson!

By the way, the 成人快手 streams are a good 30 seconds behind the live TV version.

Come on 成人快手 you can do better than this!

Come to Frankfurt and watch Holland vs. Argentina at the Fan Fest on MainArena. Of all the fan fests in Germany it's actually the coolest, the most spectacular site and the city will most likely be dyed in orange... well, maybe walking around with light-blue and white shirts might be some fun ;-)

Or watch it at a typical Frankfurt neighborhood (insiders') pub (haven't really seen any English there last week as they only stayed along the tourist paths), the Sch枚nebeger's in Frankfurt-Bornheim...

Read your Orwell.

"Nineteen Eighty-Four is a political novel that George Orwell wrote in opposition to totalitarianism. It tells a story set in a dystopia in which an omnipresent state wields total control."

Big Brother style would NOT allow the people to decide!!

Mike,

"Nineteen Eighty-Four is a political novel that George Orwell wrote in opposition to totalitarianism. It tells a story set in a dystopia in which an omnipresent state wields total control."

Yes, we know that.
Big Brother is also a UK TV programme in which a bunch of nutters/losers is shut away in a house fitted with 24/7 webcams.
Every few days the viewers vote for one of the inmates to be evicted. Last one standing wins lots of money.
That's 'you decide, Big Brother style'

watch the holland game on the telly but turn the commentry off and allow yourself to take in the game without the witless ramblings of the commentators

Go for Serbia & Montenegro V Ivory Coast.
'Dead rubber' or not, neither of these teams would want to return home with no points at all -they have their honour to fight for- so it still may become an interesting match, whereas both Holland and Argentina probably will hold back in fear of injuries or double yellow cards.
I would opt for the experience of watching a live match in a stadium. And with some luck you can see Holland V Argentina when they (hopefully) meet again in the finals.

Hope you guys find Cologne better than I did tonight!

Been here over a week but finally the riot police relented and went at it.

Personal account in the Alone in Cologne link on the right hand side!

If you're watching holland v argentina on a big screen in a crowd like some of the other matches. If you're going to watch it on tv - go to the game.

Go to see Ivory Coast ... Holland and Argentina will both play with the substitutes, they wont risk any of their best players in that match because they don't need the points at all, more than that, the one who wins gets only 3 days of rest, the other 4... think about it. If Argentina wins, they have to move to Leipzig, and they don't want that.

I think the Ivory Coast v Serbia & Montenegro game could be more interesting with both teams trying to go home with a win and for Serbia & Montenegro a goal as well. It should be interesting.

Big Brother is not a UK TV show, its one that is also done in the UK. "Created" by a Dutch firm Endamol or something it was done in Holland and Germany before it got to the UK

You should choose to go to a game over watching on tv all the time.

I can't really believe anybody would want to watch a tiny part of a pitch at the wim of a tv director when they can watch the whole game in a stadium with the atmosphere and everything. Especially if they had gone to Germany but not been to a game yet and the thing is half way though!!!!

Go to Wuerzburg which would be on your way from Stuttgart and Nuremburg. It's a large student city with one of the best preserved medieval castles around. It has many bars (being a Student town) and a great atmosphere.

Try visiting the Residenz and the Castle (which is under world heritage protection).

Watch Argentina vs Holland (of course) duh! ... contact me if you need any help with Wuerzburg.. I'm not there (I'm in Tokyo) ... but i have many friends who'd be willing to show you around :D

"It seems from the Fifa ticket website three are plenty of tickets cropping up"

Shouldn't that be: "It seems from the Fifa ticket website there are plenty of tickets cropping up"

If you are a real fan of the game, you will go to the stadium. I will go and see Paraguay vs. T&T tonight, rather than watching England-Sweden (which will be a great game too) on TV.

BTW: Thank you for your very entertaining reports

Brother, being a big brother does not work always the way it has. I do not know anything about the area of Nuremburg but I think it is better to go to the stadium for a live match because I think it is something special to be in the stadium for world cup match because it is more than passionate, it is more than craze and high profile match may not assure you a good game because here nothing is impossible.
