Time for a new (real) update. The last three weeks were really packed with work (especially last week) and watching football games. Now, there´s sort of emptiness as we don´t have a party tonight and no game. How´s it gonna feel after this whole thing is over? I think it will never be the same again (at least not for the next two years).
Last week when I was on Schlossplatz watching the games Switzerland - Ukraine and Italy - Ukraine there were some strange moments (no not because of Ukraine). I´m not sure if it´s just me with a dislike against some german behaviour? But I was really upset, when the majority of fans in the stadium during swiss game started to cheer for Lukas Podolski or sing "Ohne Holland fahren wir nach Berlin".
Same happened when Italy was playing and some Germans started to sing "Steht auf wenn ihr Deutsche seid" (on Schlossplatz). When I commented that those people didn´t realize that it´s Italy against Ukraine, a german friend snapped back that they can´t just forget that they won (against Argentina) and they have to celebrate. OK, that´s true, but then you don´t have to go to a place where they´re showing another game and people are there to watch THIS game. You can celebrate everywhere else. For me the behaviour in those two situation is just a lack of respect for the playing teams!

That is interesting. And overall, they all sing the wrong song anyway: the right song to sing at every game, anytime, anywhere is "Hopp Schwitz!" So oder so! nit?
Just kidding!
Thanks for your comment...
