why on earth do they have some many stadiums for this one?

 

[JCK]

Notice that each stadium will have five or six games only. I guess this is because they want to cover all major cities in Germany.

 

[flieeeekke]

move all the games to biggers grounds for more people to see!

 

[Slagathor]

I can't believe that two stadiums have a running track; one of which will host the final game. Who the fuck came up with that?

I guess there wasn't all that much room for discussion, seeing how it's the cpital and all. Then again, the WC02 final was held in Yokohama, so I guess that argument's fallen through already.

 

[sateeh]

the final should've been held at Dortmund or munich, its much better.

 

[Sicilian Juve]

I am so jacked up for the cup Forza italia!
