Well the EM has run its course and the better team won, Spain. Watching the game last night with my neighbors was, again, an insight into how different cultures see things, or better put, react to things differently. As soon as things started going less than perfect in the game for the German side, my neighbors began to criticize the team. It started slow at first until it became an outright tirade about the inability of the players to do anything right. By halftime, an overwhelming sense of hopelessness had crept over all of us. This attitude I saw, was reflected by the faces of the German fans in the crowd in Vienna.
This shouldn’t have surprised me. After all, I’m aware of the German’s overly critical views on things and I have a general understand that this is base upon the fear of failure. But it did strike me as strange, despite any fore knowledge I might have had. At one point, of our neighbors remarked, “the Spanish fans would be trying to fire-up their team at a time like this. But look at us. We can’t help it, we’re Germans.”
I think that I’ll put out?a podacst about this. Please do have a vote for the topic you’d like to hear about next (as discussed in the past podcast).
