U.S. Ambassador Philip D. Murphy and his family visited Augsburg to take in the soccer match between the U.S. and German Women’s National Teams at the new, sold-out Impuls Arena. The Ambassador hosted a reception for the U.S. team, spoke at a press roundtable, held a school town hall with 400+ students, and talked business at a luncheon with executives from 12 important area firms. Before the game, Ambassador Murphy participated in a countdown event for the FIFA Women’s World Cup, which is coming to Germany in 2011. The U.S. Women’s team played well against the world champion German women, and were thrilled to win a hard-fought 1-0 decision. Photos by Nina Gartz, Thomas Schaller, Nina Späth
