UNITED STATES - Hamburg/Kaiserslautern
Bruce Arena has picked Hamburg, the northernmost host city, as his base. However, with Team USA playing matches in Gelsenkirchen, Kaiserslautern and Nuremburg, the self-proclaimed party and entertainment capital is unlikely to be a permanent base for American fans. Around 5,000 are expected to spend at least one or two days in the city. It's definitely worth it: Great public viewing location (50,000 fans), the best entertainment and nightlife, a beautiful city center plus the harbor. Children can watch games in the evangelical St. Pauli Church -- drinking and smoking prohibited, of course. Shame on you if you were to visit the nearby red light district, the famous Reeperbahn, while sending your children to church.

There will also be a big American presence in Kaiserslautern because, well, there is a big American presence in Kaiserslautern, in the form of 40,000 military personnel at the Ramstein air force base which is close to "K-Town".
