在漢諾威，德國警方逮捕了一名美國球迷。他在美國隊被淘汰的比賽後一直在城市裏無助的遊蕩了六個小時。原因是他已經無法記起酒店的地址。

　　這個球迷25歲，是波士頓人。他在波蘭和哥斯達黎加比賽的當天下午入住酒店，但是後來他不記得酒店的名字、地址和任何信息。警方稱：“他淩晨三點來到警局尋求幫助。他只記得付了10歐元出租車費來到市中心，經過了一個公園和一個梅賽德斯的經銷點。在漢諾威有很多梅賽德斯經銷點，可我們得找到在公園旁邊的一家。”

　　警察帶著該男子去到和他模糊的描述相符的地方，花了一個小時開車延街道搜尋。終於在次日黎明前找到了那個酒店。

　　BERLIN, June 23 (Reuters) - German police rescued an American soccer fan lost in Hanover and unable to find his hotel again after helplessly wandering around the city for more than six hours after a match, federal police said on Friday.

　　The 25-year-old Boston man had checked into his hotel in the afternoon before going to see a match between Poland and Costa Rica but could not remember his hotel's name, its address or anything else about it, police spokesman Holger Jureczko said.

　　"He came into the police station at 3 a.m. and asked for help," Jureczko said.

　　"The only thing he could remember was paying 10 euros for a taxi ride to the city centre and that he went past a park and a Mercedes dealer. There are a lot of Mercedes dealers in Hanover but we were able to find the one in the vicinity of a park."

　　Police took the American to the area that matched his vague description in the city of 500,000 and spent an hour driving up and down streets in that quarter until he recognised his hotel just before dawn on Wednesday.
