Volkswagen plant tile

Volkswagen's Chattanooga plant is reflecting a little of the soccer madness that has hit the U.S. with the play of the American team and its key World Cup showdown today with Germany.

VW spokesman Scott Wilson said the game will be shown on TV in the factory's cafeteria, where both German and American foods will be served.

Also, flags of the two countries are featured in office areas of the German automaker's plant, he said.

The U.S. team and Germany match up in Brazil at 11:30 a.m. as both squads look to advance to the next round.
