Over the past few days we have only had one thing planned and that was a trip to Öhringen on Monday to see the socceroos train. No chance of getting lost unlike previous trips as we were on a train. We got to the town which is not very big at all and there would have been dozens of people at the train station ready to greet us. I felt a bit like the Beatles when they arrived in Adelaide.
Training went for about and hour and no Harry Kewell due to his appointment with FIFA for his outburst after yesterdays game.
We then went looking for food. Davey had a traditional German delicacy called a Kabab. It´s shaved bits of meat with salad and garlic sauce wrapped in pitta bread. I believe we may have these in Australia.
On the way back from Öhringen about 20 knobheads got really drunk and outta control. One kicked in a window on the train so he was kicked off about an hour out of Munich. We did manage to drink the entire train dry which was a feat in itself as not many were drinking and I counted 5 kegs being taken fron the train when we got off.
The rest of this week so far has been spent soaking up the 30 degree days and trying to get a tan. For me (Davey) this means trying to go from that pale blue colour to something that resembles white.
Off to Stuttgart tomorrow for the last game. If you hear thge Aussies booing the Croation national anthem this is because in Öhringen a few Croats got into the training camp and when Advance Australia Fair was being sung they started chanted and being really disrespectful... I can see Aust v Uruguay all over again.
From Jane: Just one last thing on the national anthem - I don´t know if you would have picked it up on TV but the crowd all sang it at both the games so far and they sang Advarnce not Advaance like they do at the cricket.
Tschüs
