Sorry for the late posts, my son is in the hospital right now...so I am posting via the automatic publication system of blogger.
See even Silverman is tuned up for the big football event...even though there are demonstrations and a lot of fans around, he stood still watching...unless of course given a coin...
Below, the man is wearing two different shawl/scarf as he speak with 3 Asian youngsters....wonder which team he really is rooting for...

There's no coup 'd etat! If you do not know that there is a football match between Germany and Austria, you might wonder why are the German and Austrian flags being raised like that in the midst of the people.
The fans gather in front of Stephansdom before a match. Cheering and chants could be heard a fews streets away. Its ok really 'cause its outside and in the open, however, while I was inside McDonald's (Singerstrasse) waiting for my takeout order of french fries, a tall German guy was blowing his whistle followed with a loud shout of 'Deutschland.' No personnel nor customer dared to tell him to stop and it was really annoying. To think that the place has a small reception and cashier area (dining is on the lower floor), the whistle echoed really harsh. There were kids (including my daughter) and a baby in the lines, and you would sense that everyone (except for himself and his friends) are annoyed, but they could only shake their head in disagreement to the noise.
At one point, a friend also told me that magazine pages were torn and scattered at one of the train's floors...not typically a Vienna scene.... =(

So far, there are no reports of violence happening between the fans. A significant number of police officers were dispatched in this area as well as the Praterstern and at the Stadium as well.
Alice, I am no fan either, I love basketball better lol. I think France is playing in another set so I haven't seen them yet.
Babooshka, I'd tell hubby about your comments, I'm sure he'd appreciate that. England here or not, Hooligans are still around. =D
Fans of team Spain.
Here is a list of all the participating teams with a view of their flags. =)

The photos for this series is courtesy of Harold Khan a.k.a. "Hubby" =D. A month ago, the heavy camera broke down and we had it repaired, today hubby got it back from the shop and had sample shots before going home.
Dong, pardon the interruption, I'd have to post the zoo photos later.
The match for June 12; Austria versus Poland. At the city center, fans of all the teams did enjoy having to dance and cheer for their team. Hubby said, the fans of the Austrian team were outnumbered, he in fact saw 4-5 persons there, 4 of them are in the above photo.
The two teams carry the same colors, red and white..following the same design as their flags.
