Growth On Right Temple

The game was not lubricated, it was covered

"Gastfreundschaft": On my way home from watching the semifinals Between Italy and Germany at Heather's and "Big Poppa Chinese" Buche's I got yelled at and Attacked Because Of That Italy-Shirt I was wearing. People Were Trying to hit me. Every two meters Were people shouting abuse at me, "Scheiss Italiener", "Italo-Schwuchtel", "Spaghettifresser" "Pizzabäcker" etc to name a few. At first I just chose to ignore it. Sore losers, I told myself. But at Kellinghusenstr. station things slowly started getting out of hand. The other platform was crowded with people who shouted just the aforementioned insults at me. I tried to ignore it. But you know me, I am not very good at that. I started singing - no, shouting - L'inno di Mameli which drove the Germans into a frenzy (No, I am not saying: Into THEIR frenzy). Fortunately my train just arrived before they could lynch me. Inside the train I sat next to an Italian guy and his two German friends who told me that line that is the subject of this posting. He was not angry at words like "Italo-Schwuchtel", he was mad at "Pizzabäcker" which I can perfectly understand. The other expletives just show what sore losers those shouting these words are. But this whole Pizza-thing really reflects the arrogance of those who use these shitty expressions (I am putting it this way instead of saying "the Germans" in order to get Toby's approval). It angered me, too, reading this kind of stuff at the stern.de forum. Anyroad, after getting off the train on my walk home I got shouted at so many times I can't even count those events. I can hardly find the words to describe the whole situation. I got attacked several times, even by two teenage girls. I got in one serious fight with a guy that hit me (unprovoked, I may add). I hit him back which was kind of a bad idea since he was part of a larger group. But then, luckily, there were many people who came to my aid. Anyroad, that reminds me of that "discussion" I had with somebody whom I don't remember anymore some days ago:
Somebody: Did you see the news? Those English again, after every match of the English team, so many arrests. That's so typical.
Lord Wonsittart: Did you also see, after the England match in Dortmund 300 people got arrested. Only 15 of them were Britons. 285 were Germans.

I am sure, if the cities had not been full of police there damn sure would have been riots.

Where is your point, you may ask. There is none. I am just telling you what I experienced after Germany got kicked out of the tournament.
Well, I do have a point. The "Deutsche, weltoffene Gastfreundschaft" is a load of bullcrap. But don't get me wrong, I don't want to go ranting over Germany again. Other countries are exactly the same. Except for Japan, of course. I am still angered.

Addendum 1 (10:53 am): Hostile - the word I have been thinking about all the time but couldn't quite... now I can't ... the word that would belong into the blanks. But the general mood was very hostile.
Addendum 2: Mood was pretty pro-Italian and peaceful and harmonic in Eppendorf. As my public health professor said: In history Eppendorf has usually been better off than the rest of Hamburg because education does matter after all. I just forgot the positive aspects of last night because of my angering experiences.
Addendum 3: VAVA and MTV have removed the Burschenschaftenfahne aka Schwarz-Rot-Gold/Messing from their logos. That sucks.
Addendum 4: Oh mein Gosch, Ihr habt Bruno getötet! Ihr Schweine!
