Anstoss!!

I remember almost exactly 10 years ago, sitting at the kitchen table at home
with Daniel (Brazil), Carlos (Colombia), Roland (Slovakia), and Stefan
discussing the future. We were all about to graduate from high school and the
exchange students were going home and who knew when or if we would ever see
each other again. We were discussing a reunion of sorts sometime down the road,
possibly once we were all done with college. We could all meet up and go
backpacking through Europe together. Six years later, most of us met up for the
first time again in Peru and Brazil for a reunion of sorts, all grown up and
matured since our pre-voting age. We enjoyed each other's company so much that
we knew that we'd have to meet up again someday and we decided that the next
event would be in Germany, 2006, for the World Cup. After much planning and
deliberation, we decided to go at the end of June for the Quarter-Finals,
Semi-Finals, and Finals. But there was much more football to watch before that!

Kickoff day has arrived.
