This World Cup thingy is really catching on in Germany. Who would have guessed?
Munich’s many beer gardens are probably the best places in town for World Cup viewing. The crowd at Menterschwaige certainly seemed to enjoy watching Germany spank Argentina yesterday.
But the celebration was just getting started. Back in the center of Munich, police closed Leopoldstraße for a three-kilometer-long victory party which lasted all afternoon and into the night. And this was just the quarter-finals.
An attempted burning of an Argentinian flag was thwarted by the flame-retardant nature of its material.
The final score?
