It was good to see Germany win last night, not just because it led to mayhem in the streets afterwards, but as Carsten was telling us, this whole World Cup is a bit of a coming out party for German nationalism. History notwithstanding, people shouldn't feel ashamed to be proud of their country en masse. Took in the game in this ridiculous just-for-the-World-Cup arena that held about 5,000 fans. Can't remember too much of the aftermath due to the €2 Beck's, but here are some snapshots of the melee.
