Days 7, 8, 9

I decided to get a more authentic experience and watch the Germany-Poland match, one of the most fierce rivalries, at the local watering hole in Bocholt, a small town on the border with Holland. While Germany was clearly the better team, we had to wait to the 91st minute in injury team for the Germans to score. The irony was that the the goalscorer had a french last name. And that´s not too surprising or uncommon in the world of football. There are two Poles on the German team, as well as two players with Ghanian roots. This degree of multiculturalism was unimaginable in football 20 years ago. But now it is common. Perhaps, football is a positive indicator of where the world mabe headed?
