But maybe we should have considered taking that Waffle House call to boycott Belgian waffles more seriously.
They’re fluffy and delicious, but for this week, they’re the breakfast of the enemy.

With Victories Like This You Don’t Need Any Defeats
Ende gut, alles gut. All’s well that ends well. But the Germans sure didn’t look like they were feeling very well while playing Algeria yesterday.
Would you rather we played beautiful football but got knocked out?
PS: Good luck with Belgium, OOZA!
Germany’s Germans Better Than Amerika’s Germans
Germans Say. Those soccer playing German-American Germans on the American team, I mean. The German-German Germans are more German-like or something. Gee, I never really thought about that before but that really makes sense.
And that’s why they just had to win last Thursday. And did, of course. But we should gönne (grant) them that and not begrudge them just because we as “Americans want to win everything.” Real Germans don’t want to win everything, I can only assume, and therefore the least the rest of us as in U.S. (and the rest of the world) can do is to finally let them win the World Cup for once already for crying out loud. Or for the third or fourth time now, I forget.
“The US has everything. Hollywood, money, weapons, let us have at least football.”
This Is Getting Out Of Hand
How to Skip Work to Watch U.S. vs. Germany?
What has happened to our country, people? The next thing you know we’ll be joining unions to push for turning up late to work after World Cup games that begin after ten at night. Like certain other countries do, I mean.
Go US-Amerikaner!
This Guy Is As American As Apfelkuchen
You know, apple pie?
Good luck on Thursday, US-Amerikaner! Thanks for the link, Joe.
Though German by birth, Brooks’ American nationality has always been a significant part of his background. His father is from Illinois and was stationed in Germany when he served in the U.S. Army. Brooks is close with his father (who now lives in Switzerland) and traveled back to the United States to visit family during his youth.
Growing up in Berlin, Brooks was enrolled in the John F. Kennedy school for American children living in Germany. Until the sixth grade, he only spoke English in school and most of his childhood friends were American.
German Team Training With Dummies
They are also training with some giant inflatable roly-poly-like figures, too.
Injuries have depleted Germany’s defence in such a way that their opening match against Portugal may see four central defenders in the starting lineup, with two of them out of position and two who have rarely played together.
“We do have a little problem there.”
Let The Flopping Begin
This isn’t a World Cup-class dive or anything, but still.
Look at the faux-panic that comes over his face as he pretends to be unable to breathe because someone made light contact with his shoulder.
Alarms Red, White And Blue! Germans Have Successfully Infiltrated US World Cup Team!
Or should this be alarms black, red and gold maybe? Damn. It’s all over but the cryin’ now. For thoze guyz who gots to go up against us. As in US, I mean (USA! USA!).
Five German-Americans, 21% of the entire team, made the U.S. 23-man roster for the World Cup in Brazil…
When he took over as coach in 2011, Jurgen Klinsmann (suspected of being a so-called German himself) said, “Soccer in a way reflects the culture of a country.”
Clearly Klinsmann’s celebrity status in Germany — as well as his boundless enthusiasm — are an asset when recruiting German-Americans. But these charms are helpful no matter where a player is from, and it just so happens that the largest concentration of U.S.-eligible players in Europe is in Germany.
Crime Does Not Pay TV
Uli Hoeness hasn’t yet begun his three-and-a-half year jail sentence for seven cases of tax evasion (his lawyers are appealing the decision) but when he does, it’s going to be absolute hell.
The JVA Landsberg prison he will most likely be doing time in does not allow cell phones and prisoners have to buy their own TVs! But even more cruel and unusual here is that they don’t allow prisoners to have satellite pay TV receivers. Watching Fußball on Sky just ain’t going to be happening, Uli.
By the way, this is where Hitler wrote Mein Kampf and he didn’t have a satellite receiver, either. I think I’m going to be keeping my eyes on this one.
Das bedeutet unter anderem, dass den Häftlingen kein Fernseher gestellt wird. „Sie müssen sich selber einen Fernseher kaufen und können damit dann die üblichen Kabel-Programme empfangen“, sagt Eichinger. Auch die Kabel-Gebühren müssen von den Häftlingen getragen werden. Da für den Bezahlsender Sky aber ein Receiver benötigt werde, könne dieser nicht empfangen werden.
Germans Beat The Pants Off Everybody Else
And they are doing this by not wearing any pants themselves.
Germany has now clearly taken the lead in the Winter Olympics by once again coming out victorious in the naked sledging competition.
Huh? What do you mean this isn’t an Olympic event?
Not to be put off by the mild temperatures, an artificial ski slope was created.
