Europameistershaft Update

Thus far, German has knocked off Poland 2-0 but yesterday was beaten yesterday by Croatia 2-1. The effort shown in the first game failed to appear in the second; yesterday's Fanmeile in Aachen was a relatively somber one. Even after brief celebrations after a German goal late in the second, things quickly got quiet. But then the Croats took to the streets- there was a parade of cars running the Innenring road of Aachen for almost an hour, flying the Croatian flag, beeping and stopping the bus system for quite a while. There were also parades of Germans walking around bellowing, "Scheiss egal, scheiss egal!" which basically means "f%&k it, it doesn't matter." I don't think I was drunk enough for this party.
