Wild and crazy guys

Right now, Germany and Spain are playing the championship game of the Europameisterschaft, or the Euro Cup, or Euro2008, or whatever you want to call it. Even though I haven't really been interested in the games, I've enjoyed all of the festivities surrounding the games. Today after church, Brian and I wandered around the city center a bit before heading home. And let me tell you, there was a lot of craziness going on.

First, we stopped by these huge soccer cleats that are display in MuseumsQuartier. I just wanted a quick photo for Almost Daily Vienna, but we ran into this a lot of cheering fans near the Germany and Spain cleats. Here you can see a little bit of the madness as the Germany fans (standing in front of the soccer ball) and the Spain fans (standing next to the Spain cleat) try to out-cheer each other.


As we neared the city center, we heard more crowds chanting for their team. Near Stephansplatz, we saw a large group of Germany fans cheering for their team.



We also saw another group making a lot of noise, but we I couldn't tell which team they were representing.
