EM time in Germany is very special. We might have many sports in the US that the majority of people follow and get excited about, but it isn’t like that in Germany. For Germans, the EM and WM are major events that allow them to show their German pride and support their country. During these two tournaments is the only time when it is considered normal to have a German flag in your front yard or on your car. When I was in Berlin this past weekend, I wanted to see the Brandenburg Gates, but the monument had been turned into a viewing party area for the soccer games. I find it very interesting that soccer is of the utmost importance to the Germans.for them, it is a sense of pride that is hard to come by anywhere else.
EM? WM? What are those? Thanks.
