Cricket-loving Asian migrants take game to Germany



Can't wait until a England versus Germany test. England will still loose on penalties.

Reich. In German with the ei's and ie's you look at the second letter, i.e Reich, you say R'I'ch, i.e. R'eye'ch and with 'Wieder' for example you say 'V'E'der' like 'V'ee'der'.

I struggled with that for years until my then 8 yo daughter doing German at school told me this. Kept saying 'Die' like 'Dye'....

Anyone else who listened to the Macc Lads during their formative years still get a schoolboy snigger from substituting 'fooking barstards' for 'uber alles' when the German national anthem comes on?

No?

Surprised it took Germany 19s to get the first one in.

Now this is a football game. Attacking forward every other minute can't take my eyes off the screen.

19 minutes, not seconds....

I once travelled down to that London see my beloved Bolton Wanderers at QPR only to concede after 7 secs (Tommy Langley). My memory says we lost 7-1 but can't see it on soccerbase. Yet another age-addled false-memory..
