Here i will post, from time to time, some pics from the WorldCup in Germany. Especially from the Matches in Berlin and Leipzig, where i am located during the Torney. Please donÃ,´t expect to much of the pics i only have a small digital Camera with me and even i canÃ,´t go everywhere. At leat i have to work during the match. :D
Cleaning the grass before the Storm :rolleyes
This guy really went over the pitch and cleaned with his sponge the grass.
Really thanks to share it with us Ramses
I think he missed a bit...... :lol:
Do you have any pics of the highly sophisticated Euro soccer fans throwing bananas at the black players ?

Ths coming from a man that spills poison from his mouth with every word he says and makes racist remarks on fibs on a daily base.
You need to look up the definition of the word RACIST. It's a commonly misused word; I've never seen any truly racist statements on FIBS.
BTW, I didn't notice you denying that black soccer players are abused in that fashion pretty regularly during soccer season.
The actions of the banana-throwing fans are more "racist" than any words of mine.
NIHI
The banana throwing fans, the abusive fans - and anyone else behaving in a fashion which is considered unacceptable by any right minded person are hunted down by all possible means - and where found are dealt with severely - they certainly dont attend any more matches. Shame the same strictures cant be applied on fibs really.......
And for a definition - how about this from Merriam Webster Online dictionary (http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/racist)
1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
2 : racial prejudice or discrimination
I am pretty confident I have seen remarks which fall into one or both of these categories on fibs.....
Not from me, you haven't. I have never expressed ANY sentiment that one race is inherently superior to another. That is NOT my view and it never has been.
Perhaps you'd care to share your thoughts on throwing bananas at black players. From the coverage I've see it's quite prevalent at British matches.
NIHI
What do you think NIHILIST - bearing in mind how little regard I have for you, with your 'non-racist' (and doubtless non-sexist) remarks?
OK!
Here are some more pics. but as i said i dont have much time during my work to stop this and shoot. i hope you have some fun.
on the other hand i am almost feed up with, when i look at the discussion which started.
lets see.

Fan-dancerettes :) on their way back from rehearsal

There seem to be a lot of erm, young ladies in these photos, do I detect a favourite subject ? ;) Great photos - please keep them coming - and anyone else close enough to capture these precious moments, please share :D
Another big thanks Ramses to share. :grouphug:
Nice pics Ramses!
NIHI, i have seen you make remarks on femaile, europeans, jews, islamic people etc. etc.
I canm probably dig up some shouts but then again, that would be off-topic ;)
Great pics Ramses. Dont forget to take lots of pictures of England scoring in the final!
:D
Cool pictures Ramses! I hope you will attend lots of games from Brazil and keep your focus on the crowd and side-events. B)
I deleted last two posts. That's enough of the slander throwing all ways. Keep to topic and remember the rules of Fibsboard.
Great photos, Ramses! Thank you for sharing!

Ramses, where's the tickets you bloody promised me mate??? :angry: :angry:
You've done it now by adding insult to injury! You are off my "friends" list! <_<
......... you know I love you bruv, keep the pictures coming! :P
Here i am again.
We had 2 days off here and my girlfriend arrived, so i was busy with other things like sightseeing, visiting friends and so on, so these pics are a little late.
Here is the first. Swedish fans in preparing themself for the match against Paraguay.
i wonder how some of them have overcome the time until the match without falling into koma (heat, 30+ degrees celsius and lots of beer).
just another shot, different angle.
i wonder what the big glove is for?
A Swede forcing the Berlin Bear drinking beer :)
Here i had the chance to shoot some exclusive fotos from an secret training of the swedish team :D
Hmm but will it help?
Swedes after the final whistle of the match vs paraguay
Hard working camera-guys :)
Searching for Focus :D
As long as i have some days off at the moment, i will return to Berlin for the Quarterfinal. I would like to encourage everyone to post his world-cup impressions here.
Might be interesting to see how people celebrate in different countries.
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D Brilliant photo s Ramses , and thanks for the tickets for the final you know it ll be 1966 all over again :-))
What about the russian linesman.......forget about him WHAT about the russian referee Holland v Portugal,(and our referee booking a player 3 times lol) I cant believe he didnt book any of the dutch for diving they were all at it (ok as well as Figo). questions.
1.Why are the top 2 strikers for deutchland Polish ( ill bet there grandparents are nt happy)
2.Why are the home (yes germany)team not getting booked and insisting on players from other teams get a yellow card ( i hate that )
Its great to see the German games though just to see oliver khan sat on the bench hahahaha
keep up the good work :yes: :cool:
@Ramses: Since 1950 1.4 million people migrated from Poland to Germany, mainly descendants from native germans and their families (Klose is not a polish name ...)
Especially in the eighties and nineties millions migrated from eastern Europe to Germany.
By the way - strikers #3 and #4 are from Ghana and the italian part of Switzerland. The only striker born in Germany and with german mother tongue is #5 David Odonkor (mother german, father from Africa).
I have to correct myself - not david ondonkor but mike hanke is striker #5 ... but the rest is correct ;-)
Ok!
Now after its all over and i also finished my holidays in brittany (beautiful country,btw), i found some time to post the pics from the final and some matches before.
i know itÃ,´s a bit late but i had to recover from this too :D
the first one shows some french when they were still in good hope at a match in leipzig. the opp i donÃ,´t recall.
originally mexican fans which cheered this time for italy, if i am right :rolleyes:
goleo shows his real face
argentina vs. germany
german team celebrating their win vs. argentina after the "fight" ;)

thirsty
the last one has to switch off the lights...
Done! :)
I have been checking fibsboard for your, World Cup photos, every other day now Ramses! I almost had to send out the search party! ^_^
I am glad you had a lovely and restfull holiday, but glad now that you are back!
Definetly worth the wait! :D
I thought this World Cup, was by far, the best ever organised and the most friendly! Well done to Germany for their warm hospitality and their inititive for making it a "time to make friends".
Thanks for sharing these lovely photos Ramses! ;)
PS: How did the interview with Franz Beckenbauer go?? ;) :D
the beckenbauer interview i had to do in his helicopter. unfortunatly the cble at my camera wasnÃ,´t long enough.
but i had to do some interviews at fifa-studio after the matches, i.e. with marcelo lippi after the final and it was the shortest one i did during the world-cup. to me he seemed arrogant :-(
but i have another pic so put your focus this time on the guy in the background, left behind the girl :)
i just received some pics i made with a friends cam in the night after the match for 3. place (mine run out of power). a little late for this topic but some nice shots, i think.
and now you have the chance again to view the pics without downloading them first. i must admit i am to lazy at the moment to post the old ones, for better viewing, again. :sleep:
cheers
all shoots were done in berlin, ku-damm, where the crowed celebrated.
the rest
Nice pics! :) Who are these people? Are you in any of the shots? Are any other Fibsters in any of the shots?

donÃ,´t know anyone personal, all strangers which were celebrating. i am on none of the photos (i try to stay behind the camera :smile:) and maybe there is a fibster on one of them, but then only by accident :)
