Subject: World Cup Predictions

It's from the first stanza of the "Deutschlandlied". We just use the 3rd stanza as anthem, because this line from the first stanza means "Germany above all" and was abused during the "3rd Reich". It sounds today a bit problematic considering German history.

Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit

Für das deutsche Vaterland!

Danach lasst uns alle streben,

Brüderlich mit Herz und Hand!

Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit

Sind des Glückes Unterpfand:

Blühe im Glanze dieses Glückes,

Blühe, deutsches Vaterland!

OK???

ok, ok ... now I understand. sorry ...
But, at the World Cup is sung uber alles.
or not?

For those who understand German and followed the press the last days. Crapy video with funny lyrics (at least for Non-Argentinians):

Yep, thats the anthem!

Germany has an excellent team, which is worth the finals, but they got the Spanish ... Well done but 3rd place is also good .... Lew great coach, all the players the Patriots del respect your team but ill uz Spanish and Dutch ...

could you translate?

In 2008 final Spain was better (Torres was fit, Xavi at it's prime) and we were weaker (we did not have enough quality offensively). This time signs stand in our favor!

That's right,Germany has faster play then Spain who just pass the ball all around the pitch,ofc and more offensive style of play,so I hope hat Germany will take the WC :))

could you translate?

I could, but it wont be funny anymore. The song just mocks Argentina and Maradonna a bit...

there is no harm in argie bashing. :D
