Subject: RE: BS: Showing respect to another country
If any of you are in Köln tomorrow evening, you can come to my place and watch England on TV. There will be beer drunk, sausages eaten, cursing, cheering and howls of derision at the appropriate (or inappropriate) moments. The house will be full of English fans and German fans and we will meet and part as friends. It will be the same way in two weeks time, if the likely happens and a second placed England team meets Germany in the second round. It won't get in the newspapers though. "Mates meeet and have a good time" does not make an exciting headline. As for those bastards, who have come to fight, why should they get all the attention?
