Our Dream Cup

For Three Weeks, Poland is the Center of Europe

We’re soccer crazy here in Wroclaw, where our city government has done nothing but “get ready for the Euro Cup” for years. Even the colleges let out a month early this year so that their dorms could house fans on a budget. Almost anything you can buy is tied to the tournament, though it’s admittedly weird to be in a supermarket and see meat loaves packed into glass jars labeled “Snack for a football fan!” Ugly buildings on the way to the stadium are covered with colorful “Euro 2012” banners.
