Was over to Germany for World Cup.( Germany V Portugal)
Had a great time mixing with various people from diferent nations /different cultures and have to honestly say the Germans and Germany impressesed me greatly( polite people -----yes honestly.......bootiful picturesque towns with NO LITTER .honestly)
Sad to say English fans did not come out too highly on the popularity stakes.
Why??
Most people I spoke to ( various nationalities) were somewhat relieved when England were out ...Not because of football ablity but because it meant the "real" fans could appriciate and enjoy both football and other "peoples" company without the worry of some "engalund-knuckle scraper" throwing punches at every opportunity
Not my opinon -as every English fan I personally met was OK . ( but pissed !)
What were your highlights ..On /Off the field??
