black, red and yellow

Where did my spend my day before today- of course watching the game!

I was actually at a quite a charming place on the riverside, an outside cafe, where it is very cosy. The came being so interesting was a total pain-in-the- ass for those who were bierfans, as most of them here. Every time that somebody went to the toilet again, there was a goal hit.

I could see something else in that game- as a symbolic match between my future and past, future won, of course. Because me being from a English- class, from a school that is considered fansy, by the ones who go there, England has played quite a role in the past. This future thing is more than clear.

The most interesting was at that match a comment from my new friend, how it is the first time, when german flags are basically ebverywhere and everybody are proud here, love, adore their country and do it very openly. Connected with the history, overdoing with the flagthing has been considered rather over the border.But now not... the newest thing here is to put the flag like a sock on car side-way-mirrors.

And after the game we had our own game, which was also quite a lot of fun. It is just unbelievable how big fans they are here- even the children talk about it in the kindergarten and have their matches...But what is more about this game is that, it is the teamgame, so they are not just proud of one athlete and his trainer, but all nation is a winner.
