hahaha great job, i liked france ps. question on german culture i know in france they say "vive le France" is there a saying like that in German?
okay you got me there, but im talking football terms. Dont get me wrong im a france country fan i spent a month there last year with school and it was amazing. so back to my original question, is there a saying like that for Germany?
It's overprized in Britain. You have to spend > 15 pound to get a decent bottle of Bordeaux in Britain, or > 10 pounds to get a decent bottle of Cote de Beaune, for example. Same for nice Alsatian Riesling, or Chardonnay from Bourgogne. Just buy it on the continent, it's far cheaper and then you wouldn't call it overrated anymore.
The closest I can get is to quote Christof Staehlin 'Du armes dickes Land aus Fussball, Fernsehen und Bier!' Seriously though, can't think of anything comparable. What would it be for the USA? Go USA? Or for the UK? God bless the Queen? Seems a rather useless expression anyway. Are you looking for a football chant?
Doesn't have to be a football chant....its something that people would use to express more or less pride in the country, like "Go USA" or, in Korea, "Be The Reds." Something like that.
I honestly can't think of anything other than 'Deutschland, Deutschland!'. Maybe PileD can help? I am not really an expert wrt national pride (= Nestbeschmutzer).
maybe 'auf gehts deutschland'? PS - 'Go USA' is lame. is that really something people shout? im pretty sure arthur was joking when he mentioned those two for the US and UK...
I actually googled 'Deutschland Schlachtruf' and here's what I found: Deutschland vor, noch ein Tor! Du bist Deutschland! Wer nicht springt, ist auch kein Tscheche! (Beckmann about Euro 2004) Die Hunnen kommen! Deutschland Deutschland ohne alles, ohne Butter, ohne Speck! (this one about finance minister Eichel) Fred fuer Deutschland! Aus! Aus! Deutschland ist Weltmeister! Not sure is this helps.
