10 July 2002 Dear Pals, Well, when we talk about the Germans way of life i.e. Efficiency, Economy etc., it cant be really expressed in the way as in the recently concluded world cup. Simple relying on dogged determination and efficiency Germans had come till the final. Call it Ugly or Dirty football, they made it to final. Not many fancied their chances before the World cup including their own coach Rudi Völler. Hence, WC Football final has become a main edition of Euro times. Last month, whole Europe was running out of medicines, because of the football fever. Even I had taken a dose of Penicillin. J There is no better chance to understand their passion than in watching the final with them. I decided to watch the match with hundreds of fans in the Main Railway station where match was shown live in a big screen. Quite a risk, I suppose, but for Euro Times I had to do it! (What a dedication!!) Brazil Vs Germany On my way, I met some fans in train who were happy to pose after my reluctant request. Quite Tense, arent they? U never know what will be their mood on their way back!
Some really BRAVE people were waving Brazil Flags whenever Brazilians had a shot at the goal.
Safely, I got out of that place. Atleast Brazilians are quite well-built, but I am no match to these guys. So, ESCAPE!! On my way back.., Saw Disappointed fans. Everywhere.. As Genius overwhelmed Economy! Though beaten, Germans still were celebrating with laud horns in their cars in streets (Note: Thats a way to celebrate the victory, which will not attract any fine or punishment by police that day)
Thats all for this edition!! Did ya know that 13th July is also "French Fries Day" ? Hooray! Now that I've got an excuse, I can behave like a true couch potato, throw my diet to the winds and jump into heap of French Fries! I am already thinking about that day as u see in this Foto. Cheers!
