Flaggen auf Halbmast...

Germany is grieving..... i mean, i mean... oh, i cant even think about it. .

But our very creative fans are taking it with a surprising amount of humor and irony and have come up with a lot of new songs in an instant. Here are a couple of examples:

"Stuttgart! Stuttgart! Wir fahren nach Stuttgart!"
"Deutschland, du hast trotzdem gut gespielt, trotzdem gut gespielt, trotzdem gut gespielt!..."


It was good to see this game with thousands of others, because I never would have thought that everybody would still be happy, still be supportive, and still be partying. "Egal", what a fantastic word! Also, the line "Jetzt erstmal ein Tequila" as well as "Ist doch nurn Spiel!" have reached new dimensions of depth in my mind hahaha.



OK enough rambling and whining. Most Germany fans have changed theire support to "Allez les Bleus!" ( even though I wouldve loved to see Portugal score yesterday) and are excited about the "small final" in Stuttgart on saturday. Everybody is hoping that Jürgen Klinsmann will stay on as trainer ( YES! Please stay!)

Argentina - diplomatic fans :)

Wow, this world cup is not good for my complexion hahaha. We were in tears when Argentina scored, jumping in the air when Klose scored the 1:1, and had heart attacks during the shoot out. Estimated age right now: 45. :) yay, we made it to semi finals!!! Im so happy!
