The whole of Germany has succumbed to the World Cup fever. Soccer balls are on every product, Hamburg skyline is alight with blue neon goals and the TV primetime is all about Fussbal. And this being Germany it is all about rankings and countdowns: Germany’s 50 best players ever, the 25 best World Cup moments, 15 funniest soccer videos (and a whole segment on penises falling out of shorts) and yesterday a 2 hour show dedicated to 25 best soccer songs. In addition there are live broadcasts of all tune up games, replays of vintage games and daily summaries. Once the tournament starts for real the whole country will be paralyzed. Our train discount card gets extended by a months for every game German team wins so I guess we will cheer for them a little as well. At least until they meet the Czechs… Small picture from my phone: yesterday we came across the start of an oldtimer ralley from Hamburg to Shangai. This Jag was particularly nice so I hope it makes it all the way. Other entrants included some vintage Porsche, Mercedez and Citroen cars, Land Rover truck and even one motor bike (a BMW airhead of course). Just a little note to add to Jakub's....the boys are fully into the fever as well. We hit the Völkerkundemuseum to see Faszination Fussbal (
