World Cup Brazil 2014

[Bundesbiers]

What do you think about Jermaine Jones ? Most of us German fans just dont like him, Eintracht fans even hate
him.
Does the US team need a dirty player like Jermaine Jones ?

We actually do like Jermaine Jones. My friend in Bamberg loves Jermaine Jones because he said Jermaine is a true footballer who plays hard. Yes, he gets quite a few yellow cards, but we like him. And more importantly, Klinsmann loves Jermaine Jones. He probably speaks the least amount of English out of all of our German-Americans.

We`ve got a Carlsberg advert showing on the t.v. at the moment building up Englands chances at the World Cup, (Yes, we actually keep producing them...sheesh ). I`m looking forward to see the South American teams playing. I like Chile myself, but whoever it is we play we`ll get stuffed.
One day we`ll do it but sadly not likely in my lifetime...lol
Hey PF71, have you been following that "Road to Rio" series with the two comedians Mark Watson and Henning Weine ?, it`s been really interesting looking at the mentality of the different nations .

Yepp i saw the first one in Uruguay amazing they have won the WC twice with such a small population 4M! they have fighting spirit. It was ok the english comedian was not the best, ho hum but if he was scottish id have said the same. The german guy is a bit better.

I like the Road to Rio programme, nice light hearted yet informative. Hennings cockney rhyming slang is brilliant, he's a very likeable bloke.

USA names their 23 man squad. Landon Donovan not on it.

He`s a German with a totally British sense of humor nessie. He`s worth having a look at .

.....hey, he's good, just watched a couple videos.
Funny accent too. Is this how we all sound when speaking English ?
Some nice comments "...A German comedian? Seems like an oxymoron...."
We're not without any humour guys

His accent is a bit weird allrite, seen him on a couple of comedy shows before very dry humour. Theirs worse than him.

Thought so
As long as we dont sound like Arnie Schwarzenegger Im fine with it

Liked what I saw of him on youtube, but as I said, he is completely unknown here in Germany. Somehow funny...a German comedian in UK....

Klinsi is leaving Landon Donovan at home? Thats a surpise.
Who is travelling to Brazil instead of him?

I thought he may have been run out of the country for being humorous ??? only pulling your leg....lol

Depends on who you ask... but more than likely it was Brad Davis or Julian Green.

It was only a mild shock to me. I knew Donovan was not in top shape, and Donovan admitted that. It was completely a coin toss for me as to if Donovan would make the team, but it is certainly creating havoc with the media here in the USA, as you could well imagine.

I would prefer real news headlines like...

John Elway Hit by a Speeding Bus... or... Peyton Manning Kidnapped by Aliens

THIS is the standard issue. And it isn't beer that powers the "Stonely Cup".

Yeah, but thats Klinsi how we know him. He has a plan and he's not afraid of making unpopular decisions !

And thats the German football/soccer version. Sandolf might know it ?

LOL... That is funny. Great stuff.

Only three weeks left until kickoff in Brazil. I thought its time to get in the mood for World Cup football so I decided to get me the latest 11 Freunde special edition.

Also interesting an interview with Klaus Augenthaler about the 90's World Cup Championship and the monthly stadium poster. This time its the Wankdorf Stadium in Bern.

^ The Mexico one was hilarious.

 

[Wolf Packer]

I shall be in Mexico for the latter stages of the Tournament, hoping England, USA and Mexico get far, would be interesting having some football banter with the natives in the sun
