The streets of Gelsenkirchen were choked with red-clad fans of both the Czech Republic and United States this afternoon, as the downtown became a giant block party. Once again, the liberal laws on alcohol consumption in public is a big hit among World Cup visitors.
It's shaping up to be the best, most impressive showing by American fans at a soccer match -- anywhere, anytime. The U.S. supporters were out in full force (and full voice) in the city six hours before game time, and they'll be loud by kickoff. Will they outnumber and outsing their Czech counterparts? I'm guessing: yes and no, respectively.
Meanwhile, an outrageous non-call has helped Japan take a 1-0 lead over Australia in Kaiserslautern. Root for the Aussies to tie it up.
