Euro 2008 Travel: An Italy Loss Can't Stop the Fireworks
The streets of Southern Italy went eerily silent Sunday night when Spain's fourth penalty kick knocked the Azzurri out of the UEFA Euro 2008 soccer tournament. After a few solemn moments, hundreds of fireworks, presumably those purchased for a victory celebration, erupted in the sky like a blow from nearby Vesuvius. Even in defeat, the Italian spirit seemed as fiery as ever.
But now that Jaunted's favorites are out and Spain is embarking on a 24-years- in-the-making semifinal, we're setting our gaze on tomorrow, when the Germans meet the Turks.
The showdown happens St. Jakob-Park in Basel, Switzerland. If you're keen to watch closer to home, our friends at Gothamist put together a solid list of big screens in NYC as did the guys at NewYorkSoccerBars.com whose site we love in spite of the name. We know you're jocks but a little creativity never hurt!
