sammynb 3640 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Just wondering if anyone was going to spend their summer, winter for me, in Jormany? (Isegrim and Meenzer you don't count as you are already there but have you bought tickets?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15836 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Actually, it looks like I'm going to be moving back to the UK before the World Cup happens. A couple of friends aren't too pleased, since I was their "cheap digs for the night" option, but then it's not as if Hamburg exactly has the cream of the first-round ties anyway... Ecuador - Costa Rica and Saudi Arabia - Ukraine indeed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammynb 3640 Posted January 18, 2006 Author Share Posted January 18, 2006 Make that "three friends". Sorry! 81135[/snapback] Not a problem. At the moment I have accommodation in Dortmund, Koln, Stuttgart, Munich, Kaiserslautern and Frankfurt so I think we will survive. It must be a bit disappointing living there only to leave just before the finals start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd consider nipping back over for a weekend during the summer, but I'm sure all the cheap flights will be gone fairly quickly. Still, could be worse - I'll be back in England in time to enjoy a relatively hooligan-free month... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zathras 296 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 The debacle of ticket distribution at the US Soccer Federation is causing some major doubts over here, but I am on speaking terms with the US all time leading scorer who happens to work for ABC Sports, so we'll see. Could be worse, I suppose, the TnT FA president took all of that country's allocated tickets for his own travel agency. He's also the president of the federation. It's a pain in the ass over here.

But fuck them, I was going long before Australia qualified, go Togo go! Edited January 18, 2006 by sammynb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a snake and he's constantly stacked the draws to give TnT a better chance of getting to the cup.... he's finally succeeded too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bombadil 0 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I'm looking forward to the World Cup, but I'll be watching it on the telly. I've already put aside some cash for the 2008 Euros in Switzerland though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 10015 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I missed out on tickets so far. I tried it again by applying for tickets for Eng-Swe, NL-Arg, Bra-Aus, Cro-Aus, the 2nd round fixtures (involving Germany and/or England) and the semi-final in Munich. I guess I won't get a ticket again. In that case I have to look for some tickets from the prawn&sandwich brigade (i.e. sponsors, what I refused to do so far).

Got holidays that coincide with the semis and the final. Clearly no chance of getting into the ground, but might be worth going to soak up a big of atmosphere.

Smooth Operator 10 Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 I'll be there for all the England games, having the 3 lions tatooed on my knob before I go like.

You must have a good tattooist smoothy, most of them aren't that good working on such a small surface area. Hope you have also accounted for the scabbing up of the tatt and haven't made your appointment to close to the world cup, (but at least it should look good with the work being fresh) as you know they recommend you don't get the area wet as the tattoo may get infected!

I thought these lasses were pulling my chain as it sounded like "butt rape" when they said it, thought they were just requesting a sexual act tbh!
