Fussball ist unser Leben…(part 2)

“Heute sind sie fällig…ich schwörs Euch, Jungs….die sin fällig”
(Jürgen Klinsmann)

Ein hammergeiler Trailer zum neuen Sönke Wortmann Film “Ein Sommermärchen”, soeben veröffentlicht beim SPON und da ich bisher noch nicht gecheckt hab, wie/ob man ausm SPON die eingebetteten (geschützen?) Videos verlinkt, hier also ganz old-school der Hinweis auf einen zumindest vielversprechenden Trailer – und so ganz nebenbei wird uns auch noch verraten, was damals auf Lehmanns Zettel stand.

Die WM 2006 hat mich echt nachhaltig beeindruckt.

Und….Toooooooooooor!

…so the ********** Deutsche Bahn had some usual problems providing reliabooool (read: punctual) service and I ended up spending 2hrs in the City of Hannover – one of the 12 cities in Germany that host the 2006 World Cup event.

I even managed to follow the last 10 minutes of France vs Portugal (*yawn*), but my attention was caught by this nice marketing gag within the city centre: stickers, neatly placed some 11m away from each trash can on the pavement and the equivalent stickers saying “Tooooor!” (goaaaaaal!), Volltreffer! (direct hit) or “Einwurf” (throw-in) on the cans. Beautiful idea!

Yes I know, Germany dropped out of the cup but it still makes me happy to see it being such a great host to the World Cup and actually coming up with such cool marketing gimmicks. Makes me sink of another “adopt-a-trash-can-business-idea-for-Kenya” bubudiu…

How to confuse Gamaans…

True worrrshippaas of Kikuyumoja’s Realm might remember this entry, where I highlighted that Kenya and Germany do in fact share similar national flags.
Upon opening my snail mail box this morning, I found the following “How-to-confuse-Gamaans” instruction – carefully prepared by my dearest fan Mbuzimoja:

Kiptoo – this sure is something for Mtandao.de, sindiyo?
