Continual kraut-bashing by expats on TT

Though that they would be used to being bashed 1917, 1945, 1966 and then the famous one 02.09.2001 in their own back yard

Oh come on just look around you. No wonder we take the Pi**.

But from 66 on we kicked your butt.

14.06.1970 Leon (MEX) Deutschland - England 3:2 (0:1) WC Quartefinals
29.04.1972 London (ENG) England - Deutschland 1:3 (0:1) EC Quarterfinals
12.03.1975 London (ENG) England - Deutschland 2:0 (1:0) friendly
22.02.1978 München Deutschland - England 2:1 (0:1) friendly
13.10.1982 London (ENG) England - Deutschland 1:2 (0:0) friendly
09.09.1987 Düsseldorf Deutschland - England 3:1 (2:1) friendly
04.07.1990 Turin (ITA) Deutschland - England 5:4 (0:0) WC Semifinals
11.09.1991 London (ENG) England - Deutschland 0:1 (0:1) friendly

07.10.2000 London (ENG) England - Deutschland 0:1 (0:1) WC-Qualifier
01.09.2001 München Deutschland - England 1:5 (1:2) WC-Qualifier (ok, we lost that one)
22.08.2007 London (ENG) England - Deutschland 1:2 (1:2) friendly

And wasn't it 1918 instead of 1917?

Yeah but you can't play rugby worth a sh*t.

Or snakes and ladders

Then there is the classic 2 - 1 in Barcelona

But the 5 -1 was great as I was watching it in the house, decided to go out to the pub and by the time I got there, we had scored a few more goals!

Not often that happens..

I also find germans not so good at Tiggly Winks...

In fact, it took me a while to explain that game to my girlfriend...

and bayern vs Manu a classic i watched this with a bunch of krauts ,ive never seen a room go so quiet so quick ( except for me jumping up and down)

But we are reigning world champions at marble tossing. Gues who we beat in the finals.

Sorry source only available in German:

sack the manager !

bet you only won on penalties

And as you say that is what we reckon you are the best tossers in the world albeit with marbles

Don't forget they are also the World handjobball champions...

Gawd, now i've got that bloody wanker song stuck in my head.

Just like the English in Cologne @ Worldcup: My granddad killed your granddad, toora toora.
Typical English desperation. ;-)

Why would you bring up 66 and 2001? Your record is miserable.

WORLD
7 finals '54, '66, '74 ,'82 ,'86 ,'90 ,2002, (every decade since the fifties, 3 times in a row)
3 World Cups 54, 74, 90

EURO
5 finals '72, '76, '80, '92, '96,
3 European Cups '72, '80, '96,

You have 1 wc final, 1 Worldcup,
You have no European final (2 third places)
And you got your asses handed to you by every German squad in any random tournament.
And we never missed a cup, you did twice, and so on and on and on.

Meh...

6:1

Don't get me started about Wembley. We shat in your toilet twice in a row (the new and old) and didn't flush.

Toko this is all true but when all said and done be happy that the English invented and developed a game that the German nation could be so good at.Your granddad di not kill mine cancer did and he was English.My grandmother is German and it was the same that killed her.Now calm down because i am winding you up here, and if you shat in the toilet at Wembley you will notice there was no ledge on it.Straight down the hole in England

Toko sent you a P.M.

The next episode i believe is on the 18.09.2007 in Berlin.Friendly Germany against England.As if there is ever a friendly game of football between our 2 nations

We know the english squad is a bunch of over paid useless twats , but we’ve known that for years we still suport them though

And a lot of German lads i know think its unbeleivable the support we give them.Now all the Germans need to do is develop their Rugby and Cricket teams.

Hey, this wasn't meant offending. Banter?
And the "my granddad killed..." chant came from English supporters in Cologne, which i thought was pretty lame actually. I didn't adress you. I should have added quote tags. And i didn't shit at wembley, i just made a not so imaginative metaphor about Wembley (and probably failed linguistically). Meant we beat you in your temple, twice in a row.

To get back on topic: I don't mind the German bashing here on TT because after a while everyone gets distracted by bashing the Americans.

Or the fat people.

I crapped at the old wembley and didn't flush.

The flush thing was broken.

It didnt work and the price ogf the ticket was more than I thought it should be.

Sums up the state of UK football (today at least) really.

That's because they are fair weather supporters at the best of times. Once the start losing they lose interest and pretend it never had anything to do with them. Worked in 45.

Like it.


Hmmm...not quite as bad as here i don't think.


Starts what?

You may have won more stuff than us but the fact of the matter is that you are still Krauts and will have to live with that fact. How fucking depressing. Makes my stay in the US more bareable knowing that I could have been born German.

There is always a bright side

Being our token whinging yet still almost lovable German. A cuddly German we've adopted to norish with white bread and food choices beyond her wildest dreams.

The nude beaches in Germany are better.

But I AM nice and cuddly.

It's the soft white bread with its additives, the lorne sausage and the fried mars bars in this country that make me a tad irritated. Give me some decent German rye bread you'll see how fast I calm down

Go to a polish shop. Go at 5:45 in the morning. They wont be open but just force your way in.

Wow. Until this, I'd assumed that I was being being more honored in the breach rather then the observance.

I thought I'd have to consider starting to write in ALL CAPS with lots of exclamation points!!! whilst posting photos of naked ladies to be considered a "hateful tirader". Guess I need to lower my standards.

Hi, I'm finally back. This is opwto1, the one who started all of this. Wow, this thread has really taken off. I'm just getting back because I didn't think there would be any more posts, and it was unfitting to be talking about this on the other thread, but now there's a whole new thread. Thanks very much for the support, Fenna, and many others. I couldn't read everything of course. Wow! A lot of stuff. Good to hear discussion of this meaningful topic.

Enough with the anti-German antagonism, already. BAA!

YOU!! You are KILLING me!

Not that I don't think that being deutsch is great, but please allow me a question: what have you got to do with Deutschland?

Oh, yes. You see, I probably don't belong here. At the time I posted, I didn't realize the nature of the forum. It's just, I was searching on Google, and followed a link here, only to find that very insulting, hate-filled post. Since I like Germany, and have always felt close to it, I had to say something.

That's fine. At the very least it gave some TT'ers a chance to see if they were shrinking or still able to climb up on that high horse of theirs

Ah, ok. But why do you feel close to Germany? I mean, your posts were quite expressive. You must have a strong relationship?

Yeah, I don't know. My family and I have always felt a little removed from main-stream society, and our views on things seem often to be kind of like those which I've heard are like in Germany. When I hear about Germany, I can't help liking it.

I'm intrigued. Please expand on this.

One of the things could be that we're not very social. We never celebrate holidays or many other things, and we don't do a lot of things like, I don't know.

Who is "we " ?

My family.

Ah, I see. Alles klar. Thanks for clearing that up.

So, let me get this right, your survey of how you react to expats and how we are to you is based upon a sample of what? 5 or 6 people?

Wait, what do you mean, exactly?

I mean it's hardly a representative sample is it?

Shall i say i t r e a l l l y s l o w l y f o r y o u ?

It's just, it was a little confusing. I'm not surveying anything. Check your attitude.

Opwto1, try to keep up. I realise it may be difficult for you but scrunch your forehead up real tight and give it a go.

Ditto.

Or do i have to explain that too?

Your entire bollocks post was based upon what you and your family thought about things?

Explains a lot doesn't it?

Live in whatever world you have created for yourselves and leave the rest of us to get on with real life eh?
