Yay Germany!

I know I don't do soccer *snerk*, but I must admit I got lured into the spirit today. Not that I approve of drunk youngsters two hours before the match starts, but Dorkboy watched the match at home, so I couldn't help glancing at the TV every now and then.

My conclusions are:

The referee was a dickhead complete and utter idiot in the first half, but improved surprisingly. Maybe he was crucio-ed during the break for his misdeeds.

The Argentinian team consists of a bunch of drama queens. By the looks of it, they can't afford hairdressers, either. If they took up acting, they'd be really successful. *snerk*
I could also comment on them being very bad losers, having watched the last 5 minutes or so since the end of the match, but in the interest of World Peace, I won't.

The Germans, according to Dorkboy, didn't play quite as well as in previous rounds. However, they did manage to not let any more goals in after the first one, and we all know how well they do with penalties.

The cheering outside is deafening, even the church bells are ringing in celebration, and everyone is happy.

My final conclusion? *points_at_icon*

It's amazing, isn't it! I'm here, calmly listening to my iPod sprouting Paula Cole and Donna Summer *now_how_cheesy_is_that!* and even though I have it on full volume, I can hear the crowds!
Oh gosh, Dortmund is playing one of the semi finals, isn't it?
Getting there is not the problem, believe me. We went to Cologne the other day, and the train was very untypically empty there and back. And tonight, during half time when I went shopping, I was shocked to see only a few females in the streets. It was true bliss.

It's crazy. I was told that parts of the city centre were closed by the police after tonight's match because the fans were partying on the streets.

Germany is playing Italy on Tuesday in Dortmund. Therefore, I think I might not be the only one going to Dortmund on that day. I guess I'll have to go a bit earlier to avoid the crowds.
