I Wish I Were in Berlin Today

Turkish and German flags fly in a street in the western German city of Duisburg, on June 23. Many Turks living in Germany support not only the team of their home country, but also the German squad. Germany will play the Euro 2008 championship semi-final match against Turkey on June 25, in Basel.

BBC: Electric atmosphere grips Berlin

Coach Mom & I met many kind Turkish immigrants during our sojurn through Germany at the 2006 World Cup. We also got to be in Berlin while Germany played its first game after the group stages and watched the city explode in joy and revelry after Germany won. I'd love to be there today!
