    Vote for your three favorite.

    Below are the sites of the group games for each spot in the draw...so you can see if your wishes correlate to any of these spots in the draw.

    The places I would be most interested in seeing a game are Berlin, Leipzig, and Gelsenkirchen. There are two draw spots that have 2/3 places, C3 and H2...

    A2--Munich, Hamburg, Hanover
    A3--Gelsenkirchen, Dortmund, Hanover
    A4--Gelsenkirchen, Hamburg, Berlin
    B2--Frankfurt, Berlin, Kaiserslautern
    B3--Dortmund, Nuremberg, Kaiserslautern

    You want to go to Gelsenkirchen??? :confused: ;)

    The Arena's very nice, but the city is a s**thole (nearby Düsseldorf's very nice though). (I'm saying this as a Schalke fan!). I actually prefer Dortmund's Westfalen Stadion to Veltin's Arena (still, D'mund's in the pott as well).
    (They are great arenas... too bad the terraces will be seats for the WC :( )
    H2 would be a nice trio, Berlin and Hamburg are a blast.

    A2 would be nice trio as well

    In terms of watching a game, the athletics stadiums (Nürnberg, Stuttgart, and Berlin) are the least desirable due to the distance of seats from the pitch. The stadiums I would prefer would be: Dortmund, Munich, Cologne, Gelsenkirchen, Hamburg etc.

    Yes, it's mainly because of the stadium--kind of a superficial reason, I guess. But I really like the way it looks.

    Hamburg is another city I want to go.

    Yeah, it's a cool stadium (with a very cool team ;) ).

    Hamburg is great, have lots of fun on the Reeperbahn if you go. :cool:

    Yes, K-town could definitely turn into a home match. The town is not great (imho) and us military yanks are all over the place, but it would definitely be a unique opportunity for our boys. Being in the Air Force, I try to avoid military life when I'm on vacation, but I'll make an exception in this case. I'd like to get the other matches in Munich and a NE city (haven't been up there). Would FIFA even let us play in K-town? Hmmmm......

    I chose my three favorite cities from the list of host cities - Berlin, Munich and Cologne.

    I like Aachen, Baden-Baden, Bernkastel-Kues, Trier, Idar-Oberstein and lots of other German cities more, but they're not on the list. :)

    I just don’t want to go to Leipzig

    I vote for Dortmund, Berlin, Cologne.

    Dortmund, for those that have never been to Westfalenstadion its, one of the best in Europe the city is nice but not great.

    Berlin, it’s a fun city lots of stuff to do, must visit checkpoint Charlie

    Cologne, it’s my base city, great night life and just an overall great city.



    As far as people talking about Gelsenkirchen, it’s a nice stadium but the town sucks and atmosphere is okay but not great, the best thing is the beer pipelines.

    Germany gets Berlin for their last group match. Berlin also gets 7 other first round matches in groups without Germany. H3 get Munchen, Stuttgart and Berlin, and Germany is A1.

    Me, I want Hamburg, Munchen and Nurnberg. But would rather just be able to see the US games anywhere. Berlin would be great too!

    The best thing about those girls is that that picture is probably not a fake. Yes, they really do drink beer like that.

    I am soooo lucky I had a chance to live in Germany when I was young and single. ;)
