Dispatches from Kaiserslautern

16:17 We just arrived into the stadium.  The crowd is
starting to fire up to cheesey Italian music and INXS.
I can't wait to hear ACDC.  Italians have entered the
pitch.  The brats are great and the Bud sucks.  ACDC is
now playing -- Shook Me All Night Long.

16:23 Three beer limit. Rosemary told me she plans
to drink more beer today than she has since the last WC.

Sitting in front of Jap business dudes.  Hottie Aussie
in a bikini airs on the jumbotron.  Japs smile and wave
Aussie flags.

The stadium is fantastic.

16:28 Rosemary polished off a Brat.

Seats are on the 18 -- 12 rows up.

I think the Aussies outnumber the Italians.  Tell your
buddy we are in the Socceroo camp.  Let's go Cahill.

18:01 German chant translated by my neighbor.

"Without Nederland we drive to Berlin" sang late in the
first half.
