Snippet:
It is rare to be envious of the people who couldn’t get a ticket. When you not only couldn’t be there, at the actual event, but also couldn’t be there, at the alternative. The 2006 FIFA World Cup Fan Fest was one of these occasions. When missing out on attending a match at the showpiece tournament in Germany came with the silver lining of seeing it on a big screen at the best party ever.
