This is old news, but for all those who did not know...Here's Duisburg...Well, its sorta a take on how awesomely pathetic Duisburg is.....


duisburgbunny has done this before and has a great translation for all those who nicht verstehe Deutsch here!

Yes, if you see a funny bird logo behind the guy in the video, thats the city's mascot ( well sorta, its in the pedestrian zone of the City center) called the Lifesaver.... I personally think its a bird man doing a fat woman!

As you can guess, UEFA 2008 is a BIG thing here. English did not qualify, the French are, er, the French, Italy has lost Cannavaro already and that means Deutschland are the favorites, i.e. if someone did not sneak in like Greece did last time around. Infact this time too, Greece has had the most impressive record in the run up to the championship, so you never know. My personal favorite is the Czech Republic. I expect them to do well, semifinals for sure and from then on one ball play ( or whatever you call it in football) at a time.

So like every decent living being in Germany, I am doing "tippen" too - playing fantasy league with a group at work.
