It was a very selective post-WWII colonization so i'm thinking this is fair

Look!

Kicker has no article on it, so I just refuse to believe any of it is true. :colbert:

Everybody hype for the match already? I am! drat that is going to be tough, but beating France in a World Cup quarterfinal would be pretty cool. Just need to score a little earlier, maybe?

I'm really hype. It's going to be one for the ages for sure, either way. Hopefully we'll see the Turniermannschaft finally turn up tomorrow.

I'm not terribly hype about sitting on a train to Munich until 17:00. I booked that during the group stages and didn't look at who might be playing, and if die Bahn makes me miss a single second of the match or, hell, the anthems, I will do a terrorism

Taking the ICE from Berlin to Switzerland (and vice versa) is an absolute nightmare. Why does it call at every single piece of poo poo hamlet??? Don't stop at loving Fulda you oval office train. There's also often a huge number of passengers who don't have reservations. Why wouldn't you reserve a seat in a train like this??? By the time it reaches Basel, it's usually acquired such a huge delay that they just make Basel the final destination instead of actually bringing me home to Bern like it says on the loving ticket I purchased. My last two trips to and from Berlin had everything:

- "Stellwerkstörung"
- seat reservations didn't register, so I had to chase an angry German lady away from my seat.
- "Wegen zusteigender Passagiere verzögert sich unsere Abfahrt von Kassel Hauptbahnhof" (what the gently caress? Ok, if I lived in Kassel I'd also frantically hop onto the nearest ICE, but come on).
- "Es befinden sich zu viele Passagiere im Zug. Unsere Weiterfahrt verzögert sich, bis die vorgeschriebene Zahl von Passagieren den Zug freiwillig verlässt" (WHAT THE gently caress)
- Suicides.

In short, "Die Bahn" makes me melt down at least twice a year. Even the Italians have a better high-speed train network than you bloody Germans. Thanks for reading.

That might actually be true, at least I've never seen a "Pils" here. I'm more partial to IPAs anyway! If I go German, it's usually for Schneider Weisse or Weihenstephaner. Swiss beer is mostly crap, I'm sad to say.

They were right in 'guessing' the formation Pep's Bayern would use against Dortmund last year, but it's gone downhill since.

Hey I'm totally rooting for the German team and I love a lot of things German but gently caress Deutsche Bahn right up their always late asses. So reliably bad.

The supposed flagship of the Deutsche Bahn, the ICE, is late at at least one station around 70% of the time!

I've been late so rarely on various trains that I'm not even sure what the fuss is about. I think the one time in the last 12 months I was more than like two minutes off the scheduled time was because of ice buildup in the winter or something.

e: Also I really wish they were playing Großkreutz at LB because it might mean lahm would be playing RB and this dumb 4 CBs thing might be over.

Well look on the bright side, even if you are late, somebody in the train will have an IPad or something and you can just ask them if can watch as well.

Any time you feel bad about the DB, get a plane to the UK and try to make the distance equivalent journey. You'll feel better about the DB.
