Dad finally learned how to take a picture of ourselves

The kickoff ball

Well, we have now experienced the full European Soccer match experience.  Yesterday, we started our journey, travelling into Frankfurt by train.  Once we arrived, we walked a bit through the old town, there will be a few of those pictures.  We then attended the fan event along the river Main, where we had some dinner and watched the first half of the France vs Canada match.  From there we proceed with a large group of fans to the stadium in Frankfurt, a really facility.  As we walked up to the stadium we passed by just the training grounds, where Madyson professed, "I wish we could play on fields like this all the time!"

The game was such an amazing experience! I absoletely loved everything about it. I can't wait to go to the USA game on Saturday! By the way, Germany all the way!
