Seeing how the Germany-Argentina World Cup final is today at 4 … thought I'd revisit this post from July 3, 2010, showing the scene on Avenue C and East Seventh Street after Germany defeated Argentina 4-0 in a quarter-final match…
As I wrote then, "Some fans watching the match at Zum Schnieder, Alphabet City Lounge, Kafana, Arcane and the Porch all converged.
A fire truck arrived... and the firefighters good-naturedly joined in the celebration, honking the truck horn and waving a German flag. And posing for photos. When a few fans jumped on top of the truck, the firefighters quickly made them get down... The entire celebration all seemed pretty harmless and went on for about 15 minutes…"
As for TODAY… these two gentleman arrived at 8 a.m. to be first in line for Zum Schneider ….
