Yeah, 
I'm from Germany and it seems that a lot of people support foreign 
teams like Brazil or even Jamaica! Sure, most interest (even by me) 
is for the German team, but I think it's natural when you watch your 
country's team. You have something in common, but I wouldn't call it 
nationalism. Some might think different (hooligans, wether English or 
German). 
Anyway, I have seen the new Baddiel/Skinner/Lightning Seeds video and 
I laughed, till the tears came. German spectators really suck. They 
look like from Eastern Germany, about we make a lot of jokes of. 
These beards and fucking 80's haircuts! Now you see, why good music 
doesn't have a chance here!

Are any people here who collect the world cup Panini stickers?

Bis bald, 
Jochen
