If you can't go to Brazil, the best place on earth to watch the World Cup is a small soccer stadium in Berlin.

Union Berlin, a second-division German club, has turned their stadium into one gigantic living room with more than 12,000 fans expected to watch Germany's opening match against Portugal on up to 850 sofas.

The club invited the fans to bring their own sofas to the stadium for the World Cup. Here is what the scene looked like during the opening match of the World Cup between Brazil and Croatia.
