For all soccer-fans

No. In real life I hate soccer. I would never, ever go to the stadium to watch a game.

But now it is different. The worldcup is actually taking place in Germany. And somehow the fever has taken control over me, too. I am still not going to the stadium (I need to save my money for a new pair of jeans, remember), but I do watch the games on the telly.

And who would have ever thought that the German team would get as far as the semi-finals?!? Everybody said they wouldn´t even pass the qualificaion-round*. Yeah right, look at them now!! We have a German saying that fits just perfectly: " Tot gesagte leben laenger." Which basically means that the so-called dead live longer.

I am excited! I think I will now join my fellow Germans in celebrating.
CHEERS!

*Hey, sorry that the US team had to go home.
