Fiii-naaaa-lleeeeee


Germany won yesterday's semi-final match against Turkey. It was not like that they played well but they won. It is a myth by now Germany plays bad but wins. The main story I want to right now is something else. For first time I have witnessed so much of technical failure in Germany. Everything was ok, the match started in time, I was watching alone in our apartment. Initially Germany was playing very bad, first 20 minutes was miserably bad. Turkey scored the 1st goal. After that in 4 minutes Germany scored and it become 1-1. Then suddenly the picture in the television was gone. Few minutes later they were broadcasting radio on TV. So it was listening football in German on a TV. What a feeling. After some time picture came back. So I settled down again. But it happened again. My GOD!!!. Lucky this time, it was only for 2 minutes. Germany scored another one. This time the picture was transmitted from Basel not from Vienna. Because they said that there were continuous power failures in Vienna, so they changed their origin of receiving the signal. But this is not the end of the story. Bummer is still to come. After Germany was leading by 2-1 there was a power failure in our part of the city and was for more than 30minutes. In 8 year this was the only time I have seen power cut for such a long time. I got crazy this time. I started thinking what to do. My mobile has a radio and my car has one also. But to operate the radio in my mobile I need my headset, which was in the car. The car was in the garage in our next building. I was too lazy to go out and listen football in German. So I came out to our balcony and started hearing people. It was also not bad. Just by listening to neighbours reaction I get to know Germany won!!!!!!
Hurrah Germany is in FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE...

Euro 2008




Now-a-days it is festival time in Germany. Football fans are on the street. Europe's most favorite entertainer football is on the field. In generally Europe has mainly four seasons, summer, winter, autumn and spring. But every two years one more season adds up to this list which is football season. I am here for last 8 years. I love this season because everybody is happy during this time. Happy smiling faces are making my day. As an Indian I was not a big fan of the game, but the environment here changed me to become a big fan of the game. It is not like that I support some specific team, but I like to watch the games. If it is a good game I go for a sleep with full of satisfaction. This time Euro cup has been evolved differently. Favorite teams are out. Russia, Turkey and Spain are in Semifinal. Germany was not completely unpredicted to be in Semifinal. Let’s see what is going to happen. The most unpredictable show will be the final between Russian and Turkey. But who knows. Last time Greece won the trophy and showed the spirit of the team game. May be this time Turkey will show that. Turkey is going to play against Germany. In Germany there are millions of Turkish people living. Turkey team is also having players who born in Germany and played for German clubs. So they know the inside of the German team. Anyway, my favorite is Germany. I will be happy to see them win. Many of the Indians do not like German team, I do not know why. I like them because of their speed and determination. They play a positive football. This team reflects the nation. I am looking forward to last three matches.
