Hence, we haven't slept much lately... we had to watch the World Cup every night. We cheered with the Dutch when they beat up Spain, and we celebrated even more when the German team crushed the Portuguese.
The ritual of watching a football match is best done in a crowd. Ironically we Germans abused the English language (once again, there sure is more...) and called this watch party "public viewing". Apologies for that. Every German however knows its Germanized meaning:
Put a big screen in front of a huge beer garden, bring on the beer and currywurst, and everybody: don your World Cup jerseys. Who said that Germans can't have fun, eh?
I remember the 1966 final well!
ReplyDeleteI have a hard time recalling anything from my early nappy days.
DeleteI think you were pooped.....
DeleteLiterally, I guess.
Deletemiss the gatherings for "public viewing" here so much (yes, I know the real meaning in english). But I'm glad, that I can watch the games starting at 9am and don't have to stay up late. :-) The Germans were awesome today. Like expected, right?
ReplyDeleteenjoy your Biergarten meetings!!!
Yvonne, I didn't expect any less from Jogi's Eleven. Yesterday's match was at 6PM so it was just in time for Feierabend.
DeleteYou mean there are football matches going on?
ReplyDeleteLot of censoring ongoing in your part of the world, eh? ;-)
DeleteThe US Team even has a German coach. We'll see how that goes...
