You're dutch?
Well, one can't be a german soccer fan without hateing both the teams of the Netherlands and of England. This musn't be questioned like shaving your legs and wearing white socks while riding a race bike [;)]
Reminds me of an excellent joke:
A German boy goes shopping on his birthday. His sister asks him what he would like and he picks up an England shirt - she hits him over the head and tells him to go to talk to his mother. His mother sees the shirt, hits him over the head and tells him to go to see his father. He shows his father the shirt - he gets another whack over the head and is told to wait in the car until the rest of the family have done their shopping.
The family drive home in silence. At home the father sits his son down and says, "Well Hans, what have you learnt today?"
The boy answers "Well, Dad, I've only been an England fan for an hour and I hate you f~@~@~@~ German B~@&*&*s already!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

That's no offense - we ourselfes tell this joke (while I remember it to be told about wearing a Dutch shirt)[:D][:D][:D]

But both teams were very poor - should be Turkey and Portugal going thru from that group

But when the refs realy do punish diving as hard as it is told, then portugal, espc. Ronaldo will have a big problem.
And I didn`t see Switzerland that bad, they only missed their opportunities.

I think Deco is even worse than Ronaldo for that but I agree with you about the diving. And I'll concede the Swiss weren't that bad - but they weren't that good either

The group winners IMO will be:
Group A: Portugal & Czech Republic
Group B: Germany & Croatia
Group C: Italy & Holland (the only group I'm not sure of...)
Group D: Spain & Russia

One can.Well, one can't be a german soccer fan without hateing both the teams of the Netherlands and of England.
Nationalism getting a little bit out of hand again?

Yes, it's just before the nazis take power again - at least when you look on the streets and see ordinary people show the flag of their country, right?ORIGINAL: Woos

It's quite hard to accept that there are people in your country that cry out "Nazi" (not in this case, yet, but generally spoken) immediately after you show nothing but your country's flag...ORIGINAL: Dixie

I know that it happens, a similar thing happens here (England) often enough...
EDIT: I wasn't having a dig at anyone BTW, just trying to stop things from getting out of hand as so often seems to happen around here.
I think I understand the sentiment of your original comment. It's possible to hate the national team of Germany/Holland/England/Whoever without actually hating the people

Well, woos hasn't accused anyone of being a Nazi, he's talking about nationalism, which has a somewhat different connotation than 'Nazi'.
Btw, it should be obvious that apart from a few stupid hooligans we do not really hate other teams. The expression is used in the 'talking bullsh....' sense, but is not a sign of genuine hatred.
