Turkey vs Deutschland - EM 2008

Turkey vs Deutschland or like a friend of mine says: Harburg vs Hamburg. Am i talking only about football?
When Turkey qualified for the quarter final I got a little bit confused and asked myself: 'Am I in Deutschland or.. in Turkey?' The night was long.

On Thursday I went in the city to see the game Germany - Portugal on public viewing. Full of Germans :P. A glass of beer 5 Euros. Need to go to the toilette? 10min waiting.
Everywhere Schwarz - Rot - Gold Fahnen. Singing.. dancing.. jumping.. living every minute together. Great atmosphere.

The official EM Hymn " Revolverheld - Helden 2008 " :
"Dieses Jaaaaaaahr
geht das Fussballwunder weiter.
Wir sind daaaaaaaaa
und wir werden Europameister."

2 years ago i would have definitively been on the Portuguese side. Now?! Things change.
A friend of mine (German) said : 'Who says that Germans don't know how to have fun?!' :))) (I was the one who said that some time ago :D . Why? Another story)

The next game? Wednesday, the 25th of June. Against Turkey. No matter who is winning it looks the same: dangerous. Soooooooo.. we will watch the game in the Wohnheimbar and at the end run as fast as possible home. (But i still need to cross the main street :-s )


Schwarz- Rot- Gold sind unsere Farben..
Deuuuuutschlaaaaaand. Deuuuuuutschlaaaaaand.

Sunset in Hamburg and German heads. :))))))))

Pfff.. There are people on the bunker.

Part of the German culture: Hinsetzen!! Hinsetzen !! Everybody except 1 sits. The person who's standing starts saying some sentences ( with no connection btw them. For example: 'Ronaldo, geh nach Hause.' 'Give me a Hoo'). After a while everybody stands and starts jumping and singing something ( i didn't get what exactly) . You don't have any choice but to join in. :D

This photo was taken after the game Germany - Portugal on Reeperbahn in the middle of the street. The guy who was standing had even a megaphone. Great atmosphere.
