All of Europe is totally worked up for the European Championships in soccer at the moment. It's going on for all of June. You have to realize that here in Europe soccer is the 'only' sport, or so it seems. Whole countries are geared up to support their national team in the playoffs.
Here in Germany, they take their wurst (sausages) and fussball (soccer) very seriously. As you can see by the fotos below. Becks stopped at the butcher to get some meat and they packed it up for her in an official (I think) EM Fussball package/meat wrapper! It even has the schedule for all the games up to the championship game. Now that is taking it seriously! Although I have to say, we have kinda caught the EM fever this year also ;-).
Loose translation of the bag - 'it's all about sausages'
Game schedules on the back
Germany has to at least tie against Austria (second entry from bottom) tomorrow (Monday) to move into the quarterfinals.
GO Germany!
DEUTSCHLAND, DEUTSCHLAND, DEUTSCHLAND!!!!
