I went to my first European soccer game on Wednesday night- Berlin vs. Turkey. I still don't understand the structure of the European soccer leagues, but it was supposedly a big game between the 2 teams. There is a large Turkish population in Berlin so the fans were about 50-50 for each team. The fans on both sides were very passionate and each had their own chants and songs, etc which added to the atmosphere. The picture you see includes flares that the Turkish fans kept lighting in the stands, which then covered half the fan-area in smoke. It ended 1-0 (Turkey won) with a penalty kick being the only goal- so not that exciting from a goal standpoint, but it was pretty cool to be there.
