Let the Schwalben (diving) begin!
I say… It’ll be Germany 3 : Italy 1. Either points or dives, I’m not sure yet.

No Flag Waving Here
Flag waving still leaves a bad taste in many a German mouth, I guess. Especially if the flag in question is 220 square meters in size.
EM 2012 nor not, Berlin officials have refused to let a Turkish store owner mount a huge German flag above his storefront in Neukölln. Ordnung muß sein (order must prevail) again already. “It was not connected properly and covered up a few windows.”
Go Germany!
“Die Entscheidung lag im Ermessen der Beamten vor Ort.”
Sex, Smokes, Alcohol…
More sex, and then maybe some soccer at one point.
Yup, it’s time for Euro 2012. And the German team is ready to get it on, so-to-speak. German Manager Joachim Löw is taking a more relaxed approach to his squad this time around as his players will be allowed to “drink, smoke, tweet and mix with their girlfriends” during the Euro 2012 competition.
But he is still a German, after all, so Ordnung muss sein (it must be orderly). Conjugal visits in the team hotel will be limited to specific times.
Germany may not win Euro 2012, but they’ll have the most fun there.
Hertha Down, Bayern Out
The German Football Federation has rejected Hertha Berlin‘s request to have their relegation play-off fixture with Fortuna Dusseldorf replayed due to fan unrest.
Home groan: How Bayern’s night of destiny became a nightmare.
FC Bayern have lost their last five matches to Borussia Dortmund, the DFB Pokal and the last two championships to Die Borussen and will need to recover quickly ahead of next season.
A Blaze Of Glory
Looks like you’re toast now, Hertha BSC.
Your relegation playoff defeat at Fortuna Düsseldorf took you out of the big league, yet again.
Although the match go so ugly at times…
That Hertha is now appealing against the result and is requesting a replay, which may or may not be granted.
But if they do get the replay, at least they’ll get the chance to lose fair and square on their own, without any of that pesky soccer fan interference stuff.
“It is written in the rules: if there is an outside influence, which has nothing to do with the game, then the match must be replayed.”

It’s Heuling Time Again
Big girls do cry.
Sayonara, baby (an acknowledgment or expression of goodwill at parting).
It’s about time, really. Not even the German women can win them all. It’s probably because the Japanese women were all radioactive or something, though.
Speaking of Heuling…
The current women’s soccer fest has shown me once again that women just aren’t as good at soccer as men are. When it comes to fake soccer injuries, I mean.
“As soccer fans, we are shocked, shocked to learn that some players might not really be injured when they flop onto the pitch. Now comes a study suggesting that women are less likely to fake soccer injuries than men.”
They’re just missing that killer instinct or something.
Heul doch!
“He who bids and heuls away, may live to bid another day.”
Thousands of people jeered in Munich when the International Olympic Committee’s decision to select Pyeongchang of South Korea over the German city as the host of the 2018 Winter Olympics was announced on Wednesday.
Heul doch , Heul doch!
wenn du damit fertig bist dan bitte geh doch
was,was,was,was wilst du noch?
Soccer Really Is A Woman’s Sport
Former Germany captain Michael Ballack stepped up his sharp criticism of Germany coach Joachim Loew, saying he had already decided to quit the national team when Loew announced that the player had no future with the side.
The 34-year-old former Chelsea midfielder said on Sunday that he wanted to announce the decision himself.
Ballack and the German football federation (DFB) have been trading barbs ever since Loew made the announcement on Thursday.
The octopussies. The men, I mean.
“We agreed that I would make the announcement myself during the summer break.”
