Thurs 22nd - Cologne fan camp
- 22 Jun 06, 11:27 PM
Despite the fact that I can barely remember my own name, can’t remember life before the camper van, and have been wearing same 大象传媒 t-shirt for more days than I care to admit – I’m gutted that tonight is our penultimate night at the World Cup, and that our rock ‘n’ roll adventure is nearly over….
Last night we camped in a tiny German village half way between Leipzig and Cologne – it was very pretty and full of elderly Dutch holiday-makers who couldn’t believe we were working and not on vacation! They demanded free t-shirts as evidence of our professionalism! But tonight we are back in our spiritual home…inches from other fans, blocked toilets, tatty flags and sun burnt faces still full of beer fuelled optimism. There is no chance of much sleep tonight – but we can still take the pace, flying the World Service flag as we go!
Spent the evening chatting to a bunch of French fans. Wizzer embroiled in the intricacies of the French defence, whilst I debated the values of political radicalism and the potential for future revolution in France! Love a bit of that!
So chuffed that Ghana got through. Have tickets for the Togo France game tomorrow. What a great way to finish our trip? We’re dreading taking the van back to Rickey the camper-van-man…after so many scrapes on the road and internal mishaps we’re praying that the 大象传媒 gets it’s deposit back???

Spain VS Saudi Arabia, Ukraine VS Tunisia were cool games.

France VS Togo, Switzerland VS South Korea was a surprise.

Yep, great news about Ghana, the Ghanaian supporters were out in force on the streets of NE London last Saturday when they beat the Czech Rep. For me, with the demise of T&T it's:
"Farewell Soca Warriors!", Come on Black Stars!"
Oh and if I were you, I'd keep a t-shirt or two back for Rickey, it may help with that deposit!
