senkt sich über das Land. Entfernt der Lärm von Autos. Ein Hund bellt. Kein Hupkonzert heute Nacht.
Egal. Wir werden Dritter. Und Europameister in drei Jahren.

Now, that the »WM« turned into an »EM« (don’t cry foul: without Brazil it won’t be less interesting, rather less boring) the time has come to focus on some continental stuff, and since Germany made it to the semi-finals I will focus on all the great German blogs.
First of all, there’s Fooligan. I know, I [...]

(Well, sort of a blog. Written like one but not actually a real blog)
It’s like a real-life showroom where you can window-shop luxury automobiles traveling at maximum speed.
Michael Davies – he is writing for ESPN – about the Autobahn. Oh, yeah, he is writing about soccer Fußball (Damn, I’ve read far too much US-Press lately. [...]

One reason why I’m somehow sad that the USA didn’t make it to the knock-out round may be these guys, US-Fans, who are in Germany (and Holland, and Switzerland) during the World Cup, making their videocast.

Now, that the World Cup finally has arrived (And I like it so far – yes I do! Despite a sudden flag craze here in Germany. Are this the 60 years of pent-up national pride? I’m becoming scared.) it seems as if nobody in any German blog bothers writing about it. I don’t know if [...]

Did I tell you how much I hate – no, not the upcoming World Cup – but all those idiots that tell you all the time how much they hate Fußball and the World Cup? No? Lots.
Yeah, there is a lot of commerce (Fußball soup, Fußball bread, Fußball coke etc.). But we are living in [...]
