Soccer World Cup - round of the last 16 in Munich

Munich is a good spot to be ... In terms of soccer, people are CRAZY: 3 hours before the game was way too late to get us a place in the fan park. Barely got one in the Olympiapark where they had a screen we watched the game at together with 25,000 other fans. Apart from soccer, great Bavarian breakfast, nice lakes with volleyball, BBQ and more beer. I can understand why Andi & Vanessa and Fabi stay down here ...
Tune of the day (about Sweden): "Ihr seid nur ein Möbellieferrant"

Andi's German mini-cape The subway was crowded ... ... and some people alrady partied
     
Fabi and the left side of the Olympiapark The front of the Olympiapark Andi and the right side of the Olympiapark
     
Barely got in ... they had closed those gates before and did so for good 10 minutes after we were in! Bringing alcohol was not allowed ... at least not in obvious containers ;-) who is that ?
     
Some gates in the background are already closed ... Andi must have taken my camera for one of these typical pictures of people taking pictures .. Harald, Kirsten, Nadja (Fabi's girlfriend), Sabine (Nadja's friend), Vanessa (Andi's girlfriend)
     
Lots of people ... ... and more Those two posed for the cameras ... sure they made it to some news program
     
Sea of flags ... Chain of flags an alternative location to watch the game ;-)
     
The pubs keep you up to date and now I finally had a handy reference in my camera Parking on the Leopoldstrasse was not a good idea of some people ...
     
the care was fully covered with the flag and given a good shake ... a car that's slightly harder to shake ;-) The next morning the radio told us it had been 50,000 fans partying on the Leopoldstrasse
     
People standing on top of a bus station bit dark, but I guess you get the idea another group - blurrieness reflecting their alcohol level
     
... or that they didn't see anything anymore Empty and crashed beer bottles on the curb for miles ! Pretty hardcore - that was the most massive public drinking event I have seen so far Again ... not smart to park here ...
     
If that was all happening to the car the owner was lucky ... Didn't come out in the dark anymore - people as far I could see ... ... all of them partying like these here.
     
 
A pretty random pink party vehicle going by Dark again, but people were chilling and drinking under this statue and Gothic (?) building ... old and new culture clashing

Fans in the Olympiapark before the game
Fans in the Olympiapark - maybe shortly after the second goal, but if so I missed the frenzy (!) directly after the goal
