Maria & Brett's HUGE Trip 06-07-08-09-? ok, so the Socceroos lost in 'that' penalty against Italy; Adriatic summers aren't long enough (bliss!); and we found that you should never use the term "Eastern Bloc" when talking to a Czech (Central Europe, please).

World Cup - Aus v Italy

GERMANY | Saturday, 24 June 2006 | Views [430]

On the way from the town up the hill towards the stadium. An exciting and festive pilgrimage. Actually, I don't remember walking there; more swept along by the atmosphere and good wishes by the locals.

German locals showing their support for Australia. This sight was more the norm than the exception. We felt that the whole town of Kaiserslautern was behind the Socceroos, and many friendships and much respect between the two nations were formed on that day by Aussies and locals alike.

Viduka takes a moment before kick-off to appreciate the crowd, which is already at fever-pitch in their cheering and on their feet. Actually, I don't think anyone sat down for any second of the game.
