D fait le pitre dans le monde de football
unlike most of my friends i was looking forward to the european championship. and: i was even hoping. hoping that the austrian team wouldn't totally suck and eventually, against long odds would survive the first round. i was hoping for a second world-championship-feeling. i was hoping that the austrians could fall into that frenzy ....
those hopes were - of course - ruined after four minutes.
the frenetic vibes are gone.
well... describing the vibes ... i have to admitt that they are not quite as ethuisiastic as they were at that time in germany, where the football fever grabbed each and everyone. here things are more restrained. hhmm... but i guess this is sort of independent of the performance of the Austrian team unless it would be really, really, really, really, really good. It's simply not common that the whole austrian people enjoys a frenzy. there is always somethings to mourn about ...
now, that sounds very pessimistic... or disappointed. i am not. no. probably it's just too hard to reanimate those feelings you have after having finished your studies and thus having endless spare time and an endless summer ahead of you ....
what i like about such events is ... it affects everyone. you cannot escape it. football is now something each and everybody can talk about. and for a couple of weeks people become irrational. at least for a couple of weeks we don't behave like robots. for a couple of weeks something is happening. people are touched by this. they can feel it and: this is good.
i know it's danergous to say but: i cross my fingers for the german team ... in 2006 they were part of a marvellous summer... and this time ... they are really, really good. good luck.
