One of the highlights of my stay here in Paris thus far has been that it was during the period of the World Cup. I am not a big sports fan, but when I do watch sports I watch either tennis or soccer. So, when the World Cup rolls around, I am always excited about it. Unlike in America, where soccer mildly interests but fails to excite people, Europe loves soccer. A lot. And it shows.
My preferred team is Germany for many reasons: (1) I am German; (2) the French team this year was terrible; (3) They're all really good-looking; (4) They just seem to be a nice, wholesome bunch. I went to watch the Germany-England match, which was a complete blow out. So exciting. Nothing quite like sitting in a cafe surrounded by happy German tourists watching World Cup.
