Tonight was the night: Germany was playing Spain in the semi-finale of the world cup. After an amazing match against Argentina, hopes were high for Germany.
Thanks to a friend of a friend we managed to get "seats" at the German representation of Wolfram's Land.
So here I am watching a football match with Germans when Germany is playing.
The Language code:
- Lauf, Lauf, Lauf... that's for when a German player gets the ball and could potentially do something about it
- Mann, Mann, Mann....that's for when the opposite team is doing something that could have ended up in a goal (or worse when they score)
- Ja, voll....that's for when a German player is saving the team, i.e. the goal keeper stopping a ball or anyone pushing back on the opponent.
The food and drinks:
- Wurst, wurst, wurst... sausages as many as you can possibly think of, grilled, serve in a bun with ketchup or mustard
- Beer, beer, beer... and in case you don't drink beer there is apple juice or water (sparkling of course)
The dress code:
Anything that has the colors of the flag: scarf, hat, flags, stickers, socks...
PS: it's a pity Germany lost but to be fair the Spanish were clearly better. Now let's see Sunday what happens against the Netherlands.
