"Unless you are Diego Maradona driving through a work zone, there is no speed limit to speak of on the autobahn. So we threw a bit of caution to the wind.
Saturday was a long, tough day but a rewarding one. We departed our hotel in Essen at 9 a.m., and by the time we returned, it was 5 the next morning. It was all in the cause of the green and red of Portugal and the red, white and blue of the USA.
In watching 10 consecutive World Cups in 36 years, never before had the opportunity presented itself to watch two games in the same day. With Portugal facing Iran in Frankfurt at 3 p.m. and the U.S. squad tackling (pun intended) Italy in Kaiserslautern at 9 p.m., the German autobahn system became the perfect ally."
