I have a memory to read an article that said she used to not very into sports.

But it seems like that she is now one of the big supporters of their national team.

:D :D

I guess I'm getting old... I actually thought she, a freaking CDU politician, came of as likeable in a post-game interview yesterday... that would have never happened to me a few years ago :D.

I'm pretty sure football isn't among their main interests though...

I find it scary that this woman would lead Germany. Anyone else?

Please, no mention of Bush necessary. I've been terrified for 6 years.

Politicians always try to use sports for themselves/their party.

I would prefer not to see these glory-hunters,
but that´s life.

She`s a politician. She like to grin in cameras.

She knows nothing about soccer except that it`S played with a ball.

She even looks like a nerd when she tries to clap her hands.

Could somebody please throw an airplane on her, maybe when she is sitting in parlament?

Sebo, interpreting your posts, you obviously are from Turkey, but you live in germany.
When everything is so bad in our country, why don't you go back to your homeland? Or do you follow the "best of both worlds" strategy?
Btw. I have to praise the CDU for not allowing as much parasites and cadgers as e.g. the greens

I was born in Germany and everybody saying the same, not only my person.
My Homeland is Germany, but some Germans doing politic over the bloodlines!
Yesterday i was celebrated with german friends, at public viewing.
What do you think what happened?
Yes, some germans come and would beat me down, because i was with a Besiktas Jersey there :(
So that was the last time, i celebrate with germans, sorry!

This bitch has racistic roots and her Party, the CDU is real Power greedily :mad:
More taxes, money for state, money for the capitalists means more corrupt policy!
Blatter and Beckenbauer are old vultures, too.
I believe they appointed the Champion before the World Cup started :rolleyes:
The FIFA must be have the Center outside of Europe!
In a non-capitalist state please!!!
So, I got a warning, but you are still allowed to post your crap?
It's a strange world/board we live in....

And considering Angela Merkel you should know, that the success of our team has a huge effect on the economy and the mood in Germany. Therefore she is well advised to root for them, and do that in public.

Bla bla bla...

There are many ways a foreigner can live in another country, and there are situations where foreigners draw ire without having done anything to provoke it.
But when you run around proclaiming that the chancellor is a racist and that you hate capitalism, and that, of course, everybody thinks what you do, well, frankly, I'm not surprised somebody like you would happen to find trouble. I don't like Angela Merkel. I didn't vote for her. But you are just waaay out of line.
You know, it's for people like you that they have the special Lufthansa flights. You know, the ones with the extra pillow and the handcuffs. Enjoy your trip. They'll throw you in prison the moment you get home with the way you run your mouth off, you're lucky that kind of shit still flies in Germany.

There's already a bad blood between you and Sebo or what?What he wrote was a mere personal opinion of a prime minister of a country he happens to live in.I wouldn't mind seeing some non-Japanese saying something like that about our Prime Minister at all,let alone immigrants unless it comes from a pure hate for the country.What upset you?That he claimed that the chancellor has a racist root?I don't know the fact.That he hates capitalism?YOUGOTTABEJOKING!!!Or are you jumping on him just because now you know that he's a Turk living in Germany?Keep the rubbish such as the second paragraph among your friends.Shame.

As for politicians attending big sports events,I saw Jacques Chirac in front of the stadium before the Euro 2000 semi-final between France-Portugal.He was clearly having a good time and shaking hands with everyone who came to him.Very jovial person and we forgot about politics a bit there.

You have nothing to be sorry if you want to celebrate with your country. Dont let the thugs win!

He was born in Germany and has much right as you to support or criticize his country.

I get worried when people adopt the tone of your post. His Turkish descent shouldnt be an issue.

I`m sorry for the previous comments about Germans. :(
They understand me not, perhaps i speak bad english.
I have just saying, that i don`t like Angela Merkel.
She is for me not i good Person, because she is from the CDU.
But some Germans, i underlined are really agressive in the real Life.
I have told a story but some here was laughing loud.
May be that i`m a Turk, but i was born in Germany, i was going to school in Germany, i work in Germany!
I think, i`m 50% Turkish and 50% German
So why some Germans are soooo angry with this kind of people?
I don`t understand this.
I could not delete the roots of my turkish parents.
That is impossible, but i doing everything to get more Education permanently.
I thought we have Liberty of opinion in the western States.
So i´m sorry again for the previous statements.
But last days i had bad mood, because this some racists

You convince me to vote for her next time. You sound so goddamn naive and full of hate that I guess choosing the opposite site would be the smartest thing to do!

I dont know anything about Chancellor Merkel.... or German politics... but I dont see the problem if she wants to sit at a game and support the country she represents politically. Who cares if she is doing it for better ratings? The fact that she is there is still a bonus as it gives a good impression of support for Germany.

If she wasnt there people would no doubt be moaning that she didnt make an effort or cared enough to bother going!

That´s nonsense. The success of the german football team has an effect on the mood as long as the WC is on. It certainly has no effect on the economy, only on the propaganda. That Merkel and her clique should use the success of the german NT in any connection to economic issues and for the mood they wish to ignite for their political decisions is just disgusting. But then Schröder tried the same trick four years ago. At least Gerd was a former football player. Not that it makes his politics or the same old propaganda stunt anymore amiable.

I´m actually pretty tired of all these comments on "new patriotism". As if football had anything to do with patriotism. I hold it with Paul Weller and the Style Council: "Declare yourself an Internationalist". Unless an international Cup is on and Germany plays.

What is this "new patriotism" supposed to be anyway? Am I supposed to get emotional when they raise the flag? Am I supposed to support German soldiers in Afganisthan, when I never thought they had any business there anyway and their engagement is against the german constitution? Am I supposed to fall in love with Merkel´s crackdown on the german social system? Am I supposed to forget about unemployment? Am I supposed to identify with Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Bertelsmann or Siemens? Will the german economy fall into a deep crisis if I prefer British Motorcycles over german cars, French films and philosophy over german ignorance, Italian food over Schweinebraten, American R´n´B over German Poprock?

Ach, what the hell. Bring on the Azurri. I may even put on a German Team Jersey.:rolleyes:
