It was raining like Katzen and Hunde, after all. So what do you expect?
And, oh yeah. Bayern München won.
Bayern Munich are the club Germans love to hate: There may be some unresolved psychological issues too. The first football chant every German child learns is the Freudian “Zieht den Bayern die Lederhosen aus”: “Pull down the Bavarians’ lederhosen”.
PS: “Hating the New York Yankees is as American as apple pie.”
And they aren’t even making a secret about it this time, either.
The immense assault, utilizing some 150,000 or more crack uniformed German fanatics, will be staged sometime in the late evening hours of May 25 at Wembley Stadium during the Champions League soccer final between two big European soccer teams, I forget which ones. And I meant football, of course, not soccer (I’m not worthy, I’m not worthy…).
It will be the first all-German final in the history of the European Cup and a record-breaking seventh time that Wembley has hosted the match.
PS: Go Dortmund!
