Around 2 years ago I never quite thought id ever be saying these words, but here goes. Id like to thank, despite the world cup has not finished, for being great ambasidors of the world cup 2006.
When you beat us to get the world cup, I was devastated. I really wanted England to host it. I have to say though that in my lifetime (im 22), Germany have hosted the best football tournament to date.
I think the handling of all English fans over there has been fabulus. You've taken no shit from the few yobo's who have had a bit too much to drink, as you should do, yet you've opened up big screens and welcomed many Englishman to your towns and cities. I know a few friends who've been and said that they were really suprised about the friendly attitude of so many people.
You've put on a fabulus world cup, you've changed my mind over the type of nation and people that you are and I was actually hoping you'd win tonight against the Italians.
I still think its good how we have a rivalry with you as a country as it add's spice to any match, but my respect for you as a footballing nation and as a people has gone up in the highest regard.
Felt this needed a seperate from from the 5000 page world cup thread. Also sorry I dont speak German so I am hoping you all can read this, or if someone wants to translate?

i think this is the most important success!
the world cup is 'just' a game, but what this world cup meant to germany and all it's guest was more satisfying than anything else related to the people who visited the stadiums or fan festivals or whereever they've seen the matches...

I totally agree.
Like I've said before (not on the forums tho): It feels really good being able to show the german flag as someone of my generation and not being abused as a "Nazi".

We really appreciate your kind words. In return, I have to say that the english visitors were very kind and not as "difficult" as expected. There were no major problems with british fans at all, you've been really great guests. I've got to know a few of yours and I really enjoyed it. The WC was a really good opportunity to show that the prejudices about Germans were not true. During the WC a whole country grew together and we were all living one dream - together. We know sing our anthem, show our flags and are proud of our team and our country but all in a positive way. I hope we can keep a bit of this atmosphere for the days after the WC.
