July 13 World Cup 2006So...the World Cup...
Everyone knows how it ended - damn it!!!!!!!!!!! We were soooo close.... anyways...
Do you Know this kind of times and events, when you always carry a camera around with you, cuz you KNOW that you should take loads of pictures cuz it's very unlikely that you see the same thing, the same amount of people, hear the same songs and have the ame atmosphere again evere again, and then you just totally forget to take pictures????
Well, that's what happened to me...
Actually, for me and my friends from work the Worl Cup turned out to be quite busy, cuz we had to work a LOT!!! Especially when Germany played.. I saw 2 matches Germay played - the one against Sweden, and the one against Italy..
So, the fun part about working was that you got parts of the atmsophere from the guests. The annoying part was, that when we were done we usually were to tired to go out celebrating.
Anyways, never saw anything like it befor.
Loads of people from all over the world, wearing the flags and shirts of their country, and - the most amazing bit - all the Germans doing that, too. And, hey!!, that's really amazing, Germans are not really the patriotic kind... I didn't see any violence anywhwere, and as far as I know there wasnt' very much during the World Cup.. And...dunno, too much really, can't really describe it...Packed streets after Germany played, more than on Carneval!!!! And loads of funny football-songs:
"Eine Straße vielen Bäumen, Allee, Allee, Allee..."
(A street, many trees, alley, alley, alley - cuz of the French "Alleez le Bleu")
"Ihr seid nur ein Möbellieferant!"
("You're only suppliing furniture" - after the Sweden match...NO OFFENCE!!!!)
"Ihr seid nur ein Pizzalieferant!"
(same with pizza....)
"Berlin, Berlin, wir fahren nach Berlin!"
("We're going to Berlin!" - where the final was...)
and..
after losing against Italy
"Stuttgart ist viel schöner als Berlin!"
("Stuttgart is much better than Berlin!")
so...
Now, the city is empty again. We feel kinda lost, cuz we can't watch football anymore, tired, cuz we didn't sleep much, stressed, cuz we didn't prepare for our examy properly, which are all this and next week and...
miss the World Cup!!!!!
