An NBC 10 reporter in Boston documented Krause wiping away tears and turning from the camera while discussing his experiences in the country.
"I fell in love with this country, and this was so emotional, I even cried in the stadium," said Sebastian Krause, a German soccer fan.
The network showcased footage of Krause interacting with local residents who assisted him during his stay in Massachusetts.
"To be honest, I was a bit scared or had a fear of traveling to the United States.
News about shootings and criminals and that the country's not safe," explained Krause.
Krause was filmed being driven to his hotel by local Boston residents, expressing deep appreciation for the nation before planning a trip to Washington, D.
C. , for the Fourth of July weekend.
"Americans are not rude, Germans are not rude, if we are together, we can achieve great things," concluded Krause.
The positive reception aligns with sentiments from other international visitors gathered outside the Boston/Gillette Stadium who shared their outlook on the competitive landscape of the tournament.
