Did anyone get picked for WORLD CUP 2006 ticket applications ??

Germany is destined to be the host of one of the biggest summers in European history in the last 10 years. not since France 1998 has there been such a buzz surrounding the World Cup competition leadup and qualifying matches.
The Final match of the competition is scheduled to take place on Sunday, July 9th, 2006 at Olympiastadion (Olympic Stadium) in Berlin, the SAME day and weekend as the Love Parade. Some analysts expect the turnout to shatter records set of 1.5 million circa 1997/1998 for the event. Organizers of the Love Parade are hoping that they can bring back the festival in a triumphant return after a 2 year absence from the Tiergarten in what is sure to be one of Germany's finest moments in recent history.

Olympiastadion
Originally designed by architect Werner March and built between 1934-36 for around 42 million Reichsmark, American sprinter Jesse Owens won four gold medals here at the Olympic Games in 1936. Today, one of the avenues leading to the ground bears the great runner's name. Since 1985, the German Cup Final has been played in the stadium, which received a facelift prior to hosting three games in the 1974 FIFA World Cup.
