mmm lentil soup with thuringian sausages sounds interesting but when in rome

The joys of the Autobahn ,cars as fast as bullets...

It is a myth that FCS is situated in the 3rd Division!
I read that in one or two other English publications:

FC Sachsen (i.e. "Saxonia") Leipzig is playing in NOFV Oberliga Nordost S眉d, which means they are bound to stay for another year in the fourth tier of German Football.

Zentralstadion, the venue in Leipzig is a newly built stadium within the old 110.000 National Stadium of the former GDR...

You were lucky, coming home from the Gothic Wave Treffen, we went through a snow storm in Berlin yesterday!

Enjoy Leipzig, and check out Morrisons pub opposite the police station, and Synthony's nice places to eat that are not on the usual tourist wave length.

Hope you English folk will try to relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of beautiful Germany during this World Cup because I think you are a very biased race. There is more to Germany than the name "Krauts" and "Blitz".

Germany is a wonderful country to live and work in.

Mairead - this may surprise you, but we aren't all narrow-minded about Germany. In fact, you're the first person I've heard use the word 'Kraut' this year.

Pleasant attitudes go both ways, remember - let's not forget that in World Cup '02, known hooligans admitted they just couldn't bring themselves to start riots because everyone was so polite!

A bit of give and take, if you please, and here's looking forward to what promises to be the best World Cup I've lived through!

Leipzig is one of the stops on my three-game World Cup holiday adventure - looking forward to South Korea against France on June 18.

Apparently Leipzig is also home to the World's largest free-standing advent calendar... though I fear June may be the wrong time to see it!

"I think you are a very biased race"

A touch hard Mairead, and just a bit of a generalisation. I think you may find that you are in fact biased.

Grimsby Town hosting World Cup matches?

I like your thinking on that one - they might even have their mystical new stadium approved and built by the time it comes round to England hosting the World Cup again!

Well I think it's probably true that, like every nation, we are biased. Unfortunate that Mairead's perception has been distorted perhaps by our ever discerning tabloid press ( beg your pardon - sections of it) or perhaps by a particularly alarming personal experience.

I can't wait for the football to start. I find myself daydreaming about what it would be like to be in Germany now, sitting in sunshine, in a cafe reading a German Newspaper (I can't read German) and trying to work out actually who said what about what - but at least there would be pictures.

My other thought is - will anyone have a more cringe making celebration than Peter Crouch's? Which player will surpass Peter's robotic bing bong (technical expression coined by my five year old aspiring footballer? )

Try the curry sausage when in Munich whilst quaffing the local beer.

I was at uni in Leipzig a few years ago and am glad to see it's getting some attention on a global scale. However, maybe I'm being pedantic but Leipzig is in Sachsen(Saxony) so Thuringian sausages aren't strictly local, but still East German.

Mairead has a very unfortunate attitude, i'm English through and through (if you forget the Irish, Welsh, Scottish and French antecendants). In 1966 i supported West Germany because i thought they were the best team there, despite the fact that this meant i was subjected to verbal and physical abuse from my peers. I've continued to support Germany because i like the way they play and the fact that they never give up even against overwhelming odds. I'm not expecting a great deal from them this time although you really can't ever discount them. Greatest player ever, forget Maradona, Pele and Best, how about Beckenbauer?

sorry david b but there are defenitely far more delicious things to munch in munich than curry sausages. try the spatenhaus right oposite the opera - a little touristy but very nice traditional restaurant.

Comparing Leipzig to Grimsby Town is really unfair as Leipzig is a quite vibrant, entertaining and beautiful city; maybe the English equivalent would be more like Bristol, although their football teams play in slightly higher leagues right now than Leipzig (however Germany is also a bigger country).

Munich is home to the "Curry Wurst" (curry sausage) and it is the way forward...who wants tourist restaurants anyway! read my blog

Munich is NOT the home to currywurst. It's something from further north, not Bavaria. In Munich try the Leberk盲s or the Turkish Doner Kebabs.

INGERLUND!

What does clarky know, it is totally bavaria. Clarky, go home!

Currywurst was created or invented in Berlin on Sept. 4th, 1949 by Bratwurst sales woman Herta Heuwer. Still today, Currywurst is more popular in Berlin and Western Germany than it is in Bavaria, although it's available all over the country (inkl. your local Aldi store) ;-)

The reason FC Sachsen Leipzig play in such a low division is because two teams merged to create a new team, which then had to work its way up.
Imagine Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United merging into Sheffield City FC - and then the FA insisting that they begin again the Conference League or even lower.

FC Sachsen Leipzig was founded on 1st August 1990, as a merger between FC Gr眉n-Wei脽 (BSG Chemie Leipzig) and FSV Olefine B枚hlen.

Formerly the Zentralstadion had a capacity of 100,000 - not quite the same as Blundell Park.

I guess its time to change my name ... too many Andreases posting. As far as I can tell (which is admittedly not very far) the German and British football fans would get along pretty well if they knew each other. Maybe they are more similar than most supporters in Europe.

The reason why WWII cliches are still so much alive in Britain is I think related to the fact that they where never under NAZI rule. For people on the continent WWII is not an experience you would want to commemorate with a drinking song.

For Zargorn who has written an awful lot of sense.

Wish there were more of his kind around. I think Germany has paid the price for the atrocities of WWII and for the Austrian they elected to power.Their history is not highly selective as in some other countries I know. German children learn all about it at school.

Viele Gruesse und viel Spass!
