C’mon Aussie, C’mon! - World Cup 2008
The Soccer World Cup (Fusball Welt Meistershaft) atmosphere is alive and well you see alot of german flags on cars and people and vuvuzelas (trumpets). The pubs all play the cup and even the big sport stadiums and public spaces are converted to a kind a cinema (and the beer is 2 euro per half litre). So here i am in a stadium of 34,000 supporters (33,996 german: 4 australian) I stood there with my Australian flag, awash in a sea of black red and gold – ready to yell and cheer at every goal... So where were they??!! Australia needs to lift its game if it is to get out of the first round, and if i am to hear the end of it in here in Germany.
It was a good atmosphere in the stadium, and Germany played well. I did like the way that the Germans cheered when the first German was given a yellow card for having a little dive. But they cheered louder at the goals...

However, the beer was fantastic at a good temperature...^^
ReplyDeleteIt was a good atmosphere in the stadium, in which the World Cup played in 2006, and it was a really good game, even though Australia lost it. Sorry 4 that or thank u 4 the half-german keeper "Schwarzer". :-D Maybe this was the reason??!!??
They made me (as a German) feel nervous, even in the first 2 minutes. What a moment 4 Australia. Good game...
