If you want to sit with the Germans, I would check either the official DFB site (German only). Even if you don't want to get the tickets there, this is the place where you can get the infos regarding the beginning of ticket sales:
http://www.dfb.de/tickets/nationalmannschaft/index.html

or you can get usually also get them directly from Eventim (search for "DFB" in Artist/Event field):
http://www.eventim.de/cgi-bin/tinfo.dll?affiliate=evg

If you want to get them via Eventim you can PM me and I can send you a 5€ voucher code. I've got a couple of them :)

Other than that I don't know if you can sit with the Germans. I guess the only other chance is to hope that the DFB doesn't sell all their designated tickets. In that case you might be able to get some at the Stadium or from the English FA. But I'm not sure about this...

I fear it will be very hard to acquire tix (no matter where you'll try to get them).

yeah, i want to pounce on them as soon as they come out. thanks for the info :)
obviously i'd rather sit with the germans and sing, but i would sit on a stair in the upper upper balcony if i had too. anywhere is great.
but i agree, i think they will be expensive and tough to get. worth it though...:cool:

I think you have a good shot if you regularly check the DFB page so that you know when they start selling the tix. After that you only need to buy them right when the sale starts. If you do that, I'd say you have a pretty good chance...

I don't know about pricing. The next home game against Switzerland is between 12€ and 60€. But against England - and above all - IN England, it probably costs more.

drunken singing, that is what im striving for lol

[sportfriend]

do you know the German chants????

we can teach you now :p

[prymetyme]

i picked up a bunch this summer while i was in germany, but im sure i dont know them all, or even close to that. I know a bunch that have to do with the world cup, but i doubt those will be sung. there must be some anti english ones as well.

[sportfriend]

i find the only ones i heard...were actually the ones i made myself...i was quite happy to see those were actually the main chants used haha

steht auuuuf wenn ihr Deutsche seid

auf geht's Deutschland schiesst ein toooor

so sehen sieger aus scha la la la la (didn't make that)
i wanted to do... 80 Million Deutscher scha la la la

Not that this means anything but that has to piss off some English folk. :D

[prymetyme]

hahaha ********ing england, finaly. now we just need to go a few places higher...

God Shave The Queen!!!! :D

Actually I don't think there are.
We're not the most creative bunch of people.

[sportfriend]

we should make one...that 10 German bombers is starting to piss me off :p

To be quite honest, I think it would be much better to invent some songs to support our team rather than to decry our opponents. The WC was a positive exception, but before last summer the support for the Nationalmannschaft used to be rather lame and not very creative. I also dislike the 'only singing when winning'-mentality that prevailed in the past.

are you sure, that you're not part english?;)

Just sing "only ´66, only ´66 ooonly oooonly only ´66 " (in the melody of Yellow submarine) in front of them and you will see how they magically shut up :D

But I also think we should support our german boys in first place. Apart from the Cyprus match they have done a pretty damn good job so far and will do this in the future too, for sure. We should honour that. When after all is still some room left, why don´t annoy the english a bit.

It´s fun, actually :cool:

Actually, we don't really see England as a rival anyways, so it why bother inventing songs. 54 74 90 2010 is good enough anyways.
