Semis on the river

For the World Cup, Adidas has set up quite the scene along the Naviglio, on the canal next to mine. There are several outdoor viewing screens, a small floating area with lawn chairs and a private screen, and a floating mini football field. I met up with my German friend and coworker, and we set out for the screen at the southern end of the action. A BYOB crowd had already formed, so we asked the closest restaurant if it was possible to order a drink to go - and this being lovely Italy - it was! Two panaches (beer + sprite) in plastic cups, and we were set for the game. Such a fun atmosphere, even though Italy wasn't playing.
