SCHLAND!

Which is not a typo, but the “battle cry” the German supporters use during a football match.

I know the World Cup ended quite a long time ago, but I did not want to bother you with my pictures when everyone was speaking just about football… I’d better be original and show them now!
(Does sound as a credible excuse for my laziness…?  but I also got the pictures late! Is not 100% my fault…)

Anyway, given the HIGH performances of the Italian team, and given I am living in Munich and wanted to have parties in the city… I rooted for Deutschland!
And for the first time in my life, I actually watched a football game (wait till I’m done writing! It wasn’t my first football game at all… maybe the third or the fourth..) I actually watched a football game in a stadium :)
As you can see, there was an impressive numbers of people, cheerful (Germany won THAT game) and friendly and passionate.. it was a lot of fun!

You can try to guess the craziest supporter…I event went to Leopoldstrasse – the Munich central avenue -  where everyone flows after a successful game (see upper right picture).

Apparently, my effort wasn’t enough to bring Germany till the final, but still… i gave every energy I had, you see…. ;P

Waiting to discover which team will deserve my support for the next World Cup…GO SCHLAND!
