A Strange Thing

[singapore spur]

well it seemed strange to me , in the argentina v germany quarter final , arguably two of our biggest rivals at football, at half time what music were they playing over the tannoy......




.........yup, three lions .

german organisers cocked up or taking the piss ??

[highlander]

Germany have adopted it as one of their main tournament songs somehow

[Chinaman]

They're partly English, being Saxons.

[LEEBOYSPUR]

They're partly English, being Saxons.

not to turn this into 'History Today', or to disagree with an obviously educated/articulate Yid, but surely we are partly German as we were invaded by Germanic/Scandinavian Saxons?:D

[Chinaman]

I should have said they have parts of the same roots.

[Gregzy]

We have more in common with Jerry than we'd like to imaginae, I think. Our languages are similar, we have a similar take on football (except the Germans don't stand for their club game to be sold-oput to fair-weaqther middle class fans) and our national cuisines are pretty much identically awful. Granted, we have a sense of humour, but other than that, there is not alot to seperate us from the Sausage Eating Bosch.....

[Houdini logic]

So basically if Germany win the World Cup... We win the World Cup... hmmm

[England's No.1]

Lol, sounds good to me, and, IMO, Jurgen is not only an honourary Spur, but also an honourary Englishman after his spells here.

Come on Germany, do it for England! ;)

[Welsh Spur]

Christ, I never thought I'd see England fans cheering Germany to win the World Cup. But I am too, and under the circumstances...I think we'd all agree it's acceptable.

[mjbmedia]

the germans adopted that song years ago, in fact when they beat us on Pens in 96, they liked to sing it to mock us, they shut up after losing 1-5 but then started again after they did better than us in the finals

I Can't Believe That We Will Support The Hun As My Grandad Faught These ****ers And Would Be Turning In His Grave If He Even Thought I Would Be Cheering These On, May God Have Mercy On You're Soul's.
