After spending eight days in Germany watching five live games, I figured it was time my son, Julian, and I take a break and do some bonding. Being that each of Thursday's three games was at least three hours away, I figured that we'd stay "home" and watch all three on TV. That, of course, only consumed a combined 10 hours. Being at the World Cup is tough work, if you can get it. Traveling to a game requires serious planning. You don't just buy tickets to three U.S. games and party the rest of the time. That is for casual fans, not the kind who commit several thousand dollars to this quadrennial exercise. You must know when and how to get to the stadium and exactly where it is.
