Untill the unification it was still used in West Germany right? And they still use the melody just another verse of the song right?
Funky Papa
FUNK-Y-PPA-4
In a mature dominatrix way, maybe. But I'm not German, so I couldn't tell.
Haha
Why? I think her reactions are pretty adorable and I like it when a head of state shows some passion
Adorable?
Maybe in some kind of creepy way, but yes, definitely.
Provide a translation if it is not in English.
edit: or better don't. it's not funny at all.
Raist will fucking love this joke.
I dunno, maybe it's a google translate issue, but I don't get it.
Griechen = Greeks
kriechen = to crawl
Robbe = seal
robben = to wriggle, to crawl (well, and a famous footballplayer...)
See, it's stupid.

What's going on with his hair? It looks a lot thicker in that shot compared to this:
?
The topic of his hair came up at work, and someone on my team (who is bald at 25) was being teased that he should get the transplant. Turns out he really put time into researching it, and found out you're not supposed to have the surgery until your balding cycle stabilizes (you stop loosing hair completely for a set period).
If you do it before then (which I suspect Rooney might have) then your newly implanted hairs can fall out, and you'll have to work extra hard with creams / sprays to maintain the.
thickness
Also, the surgery for fully bald people tends to happen in stages.

LOL at DFB swastika. She is on to something there.
On topic: I hope politics will stay out of tonight's game. We all know they wont though.
According to SportBild, Germany will play with Schürrle, Klose and Reus. Crazy but genius (if true).

EXCITE!
Actually, this is certainly a good occasion to mix things up! With a headless greek team, there is not much to loose. Or everything really Oh God, so fucking excited!!!
Damn, Gomez is so Klose yet so far.
Will the Germans slip on the Greece so Klose to Glory?

Its one match. 90 minutes. The slightest risk, one below-par performance, one mistake can easily see you knocked out. I hope Greece batter you, especially if you treat them as a pushover
perfect...all 3 are technically better than the ones getting benched...and germany needs fast, technically good players to break through the greek-wall
That would be awsome!
But the team has never ever taken any match lightly and they will not this time. If anything I hope they can take the heat they get in this political climate.
Me personally, I flaunt around all day long if I want to.
Germany just have that extra gear as they showed against us in the last game. They switched gear as soon as Portugal scored their second goal. A goal from the Danes would've sent the Germans out of the tournament at that point, but instead the Germans went up and scored a goal only 6 minutes after the Portuguese to secure the first place in the group. Impressive and annoying.
I expect they'll be able to do the same to the Greek side although they probably defend better than the Danish team did.

Yeah I thought it was something like that.
But then I still don't really get this:
I mean it was not technically correct, but still kind of correct right? Or does it have a negative connotation because the first verse was used during WW2?
I think it's frowned upon cause it stems from and is indicative of the mad nationalism of the early 20th Century that led into the two WWs.
"Deutschland, Deutschalnd above all, above all in the world." It's kinda wtf?
Someone using it really doesn't affect me personally though, it's not offensive or anything, despite when used by a German who should know better.
From Wikipedia:
Nietzsche being too cool for school as usual.
Yes, the connotation goes very much into the Nazi-times. You wont hear germans singing the first verse unless i guess its at some backwood neonazi party...

You did not? I was sure you used it because we Germans are so inhibited about it.
It's the first line of the first stanza of the "Deutschlandlied" and means "Germany above all else".
In 1841, when the song was written, Germany as a country didn't exist. So it was the concept of a single country for all German people that should be put above all else. After WW1 and WW2 most people think of putting Germany above all other countries, when they here the line.
The other "problematic" part of the first stanza is, that it goes on to define who should all be part of this Germany. Including areas that are now part of Poland, Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Austria and Italy.
As the national anthem the Deutschlandlied was first used in 1922 during the Weimar Republic.
The Nazis stopped its usage and it became again the West-German anthem in 1952, but only the third stanza was ever sung.
In 1990 unified Germany officially adopted only the third stanza as its anthem.
