Those are some great photos. As a Germany supporter in the States, it can be tough to subsist on matches with no other fans around, so thanks for posting those. Ich fiebere fuer morgen: my birth country vs my motherland! :)

Anne, Believe it or not, I was thinking of you when I took the photos, because your blog was the first Swedish foodblog I discovered (a long time ago I might add ;) Ginger M, I keep racking my brain, but haven't been able to come up with a World Cup themed recipe I'd like to feature...But who knows, there is still a week left! Sonna, Thanks for your nice feedback! Actually, we haven't been to Berlin for way too long, so with the holiday season approaching quickly I might take you up on your offer - sooner or later :) Thank you! Belma, I know about the time issue... I'd love to update the blog more often, but then there is a real live and a day job always breathing down my neck, so many plans, so little time... Thanks for your wonderful compliments! Mae, What a beautiful thought, assembling springrolls/pockets having therapeutic benefits! You're probably right in general, concerning springrolls I feel I've had my share: We made them for a big house party once and when you're done with folding over a hundred mini rolls, you happily surrender... Sam, Sorry to see the English team losing yesterday! I was keeping my fingers crossed for them, because I would have liked the final game to be Germany against England (but we have to beat Italy first, of course...). And who knows how things would have worked out, if the referee hadn't forced Carragher to redo the penalty kick... Julie, What a sweet idea to follow the World Cup and combine it with the individual local cuisines! Two more rounds to go... Juliana, Thanks for you good luck wishes, they must have done it!! Wow, what an exciting game - the penalty kicks at the end "cost" me 5 years of my life... Bea, The German economy would have good use for a boost as well ;) You're right, a lot of people have predicted this effect early on and in combination with the overall increase of enthusiasm/happiness is really uplifting... Lobstersquad, Thanks for keeping your fingers crossed for Germany, we are thrilled to see our team making it into the semi finals with the other great teams.

It must be fun, living the World Cup first hand.
Since Spain are out , I´ll be rooting for Germany today. I hope you do make it to Berlin!

Ah yes the soccer world indeed! I remember the 1998 worldcup. I already lived in the US and it was nuts here as well! And it boosted the French economy!
This year, what makes the fun and excitement is that I have friends from Argentina, Brazil, Italy, Germany, France all in one place. No need to say we keep "pumping" each other up! But then I come from a family where both my dad and brother played a lot of soccer. And i also remember the German/France semifinal many years ago! My Argentinian friend said to me that she thinks Germany will win! ;-) Ah and yes, I did not even say anything about the recipe, did I? Superbement bon!
