Holy shit :o 1-5 (at the moment) ....I had never expected that after the first 45 minutes :)

:spaceace:

couldn't resist, go Dutchies!!

Yes there are one or two Spanish guys here.
Amazing.....never expected this to happen.....especially considering the first half.....the former and current Feyenoord defenders still did an amazing job against those Spanish star players. Now I'm scared the Spanish clubs will be lining up to buy them away from us....
We celebrated each goal like crazy yesterday, what a revenge.....however......it's still just 1 game won.
-
Holy shit :o 1-5 (at the moment) ....I had never expected that after the first 45 minutes :)
You're not the only one Thorsten but man.......was that something !!!!
When Robben got that pass and he was still 2 meters behind the defender I -knew- he was going to outrun him and kill that goal.....was shooting in support like nuts all the time of that amazing rush......and that at his age.
Don't forget the amazing defending work of the young and inexperienced Feyenoord and (former) Feyenoord defenders. Sure they made some mistakes, but overall done extremely well against such super stars, especially Vlaar was amazing, he saved at least three goals and that penalty was a gift from the referee. We need a video ref.....look at what happened with the Mexican team...
Still.....just one match.....the counters are reset today....
-
yeah, but whatever happens, we'll always have this historic win :)
-
I was flashed in what shape Robben is in....he's very fast and I think he can get THE MAN of this championship! :)
Congratulations! I think it was time that Spain got back down on earth. IMGHO they soared a little too much recently ::)
-
I watched the game. HOLY CRAP YOU DESTROYED SPAIN.
-
I think absolutely nobody expected this...
England - Italy is going to be interesting too tonight! Wonder how the young English squad will do against the always tricky Italian side
-
narrow escape for Brazil tonight!
Don't think they will manage to get to the final if they keep playing like this...

Come on....it's very hot there and they're not used to...oh wait ::)
You might be right ;)
Looking forward to Netherlands vs. Mexico tomorrow :)
-
talk about heat! one PM in one of the hottest cities... I hope the Dutch can cope with the temperature and humidity, and Mexico, of course :)
-
Wow, what tension, and what a result - this is bad for your heart!
-
True but they did it again !!
-
to be honest, I found Mexico to be the better team and I don't think the Dutch have deserved to win the match yesterday and I will really miss Ochoa ;)
But of course they deserved to reach the quarter finals after those great matches in the first round!! :)
Watched the first half of Costa Rica vs Greece and I wish they would both go home now :?
Let's see what "we" will do this evening....
-
Damn....another ex-friend on my list....
-
;)
But so not true. We have a brilliant strategy....we let the opponent play and score a goal or two...making them feel king of the world.....and then we switch to the real Orange lion and kill the pray. ;D
They are very much like a team from a certain eastern neighboring country I remember from the 70s.....a team that was never beaten until the final whistle was blown.....a team that became world champions then....
Seriously....the Mexicans were nowhere anymore after their goal. That is something the Dutch team managed to do, they fought back in an immense heat that the Mexicans are used to, not us.....and we beat them fair and square. Already Robben was not given a penalty when he was attacked by two defenders right after eachother in the first half. We also had a couple of unjust penalties against us and some just not awarded during the entire tournament and the penalty that was given was just too, he totally stepped on Robben's foot.....all in all I disagree with you my friend.......oh......and see you in the final ;D ;D ;D
-
Oh an that Ochoa is just a lucky guy.....every ball he saved just happened to travel in his direction !!
Put all those great "saves" of him in a row and you will see that to be true, he often didn't even respond, his body/face/hands just happened to be at the right place at the right time....
He had no answer to the real challenges yesterday, he just looked at the first Dutch goal and was in the wrong corner with the penalty....he would be a brilliant keeper if he had stopped it but again that would be more luck of choosing the right corner.... ;D
-
of course you're wearing orange sunglasses today ;)
You're right that Robben should have given a penalty before and the given one in the extra time was the 'revenge' for this. I was just disappointed by the dutch team, at least in the first half and so I saw the Mexicans to be better. I'm not an analyst when it comes to soccer/football, just emotions and a little bit of my brain ;) ;D
Did you see Ochoa when they played against Brasil? I think in one scene he jumped from one end of the goal to the other ;D
Not sure if we will meet in the final....we have already lost twice against Algeria ::)
-

Of course you guys will beat Algeria.....maybe you guys get a penalty with a Schwalbe (that word was invented somewhere IIRC ;) :P ;D)
-
as long as the Belgians go out, I'm happy with any opponent in the (semi) final ;D :twisted:
-
ah well....I have to apologize at least for the first half. That was 'unterirdisch' :shock:
-
Told you you guys would go through.... :)
Algeria was a tough opponent....nothing to be ashamed of. Brilliant first goal of Germany.
-
IMHO, football is about entertaining the audience who buy the tickets and t-shirts, travel and spend zillions, none of these teams deserved to be in the final, all played crap. :twisted:
-
Damn....another ex-friend on the list !
;D ;D ;D
This is World Cup football Béla.....every match means next round or a ticket home.....if you want to win the tournament you can't play the most beautiful football.
Oh and the German team should be ashamed of one thing....that totally ridiculous free kick they took with that schwalbe in between (the worst performed Schwalbe ever !)....whoever thought up that kind of crap ??a team like that shouldn't need that and they made themselves totally ridiculous with the way it worked out.....
-

I dont care football, but this Saturday is kind of interesting for me...
Netherlands - Costa Rica... :D

I see a Derby of the Low Countries coming up!
-
Totally !
Most entertaining match of the tournament for sure, both teams would have deserved to go on...although the Belges were the better team all in all....
If they keep playing like this Messi and his Argentina grill go home for sure....
But first Costa Rica.
-
Totally !

mmmmm.....maybe. We'll see how they will do against Argentina. Not very impressed by the Argentines, but the Belgians are not going to get 35+ tries to score 2 goals like they did against the US....that is their biggest problem, they're not very efficient .....
-
Holy Moses, close call, but we did it. Nothing can stop us now. ;D
-
Yes, yes, yes :D
-
I lost two years of my life tonight! Man...
-
Me too.....
I don't think this time anyone can deny that we didn't deserve the win !!!
Yet another brilliant strategic move by Van Gaal to swap keepers...
-
The 2nd keeper's mental warfare was brilliant. :D
-
I agree but Tyrem and some of his friends seem to disagree (at least I learned that on Facebook).
One even said that Costa Rica was the better team and deserved to go on.....that was the best joke this year for me.....
;D ;D

;D ;D
we talked about it on facebook and it was well explained there. costa rica had a matchplan and that one was well executed. they were not better than holland but adding up shots on target only shows one side of a more complex game. the thing with Krul... oh well... it was not me but pretty much the sportsworld not connected to the dutch team whatsoever. i did not like it when i saw it and the day after the international media was all over Krul. fifa is or was investigating. i did not find it clever. it was pretty dumb, right in the face. i also told you that it was a huge fault by the ref. one yellow card right at the start of his show would have ended it.
when it comes down to deserved wins just keep one match in mind:
cl finals in munich: bayern vs. chelsea. bayern was dominating the match much more than holland in the match against costa rica. they were better in every statistics, visibly the only of the two teams that made the match. chelsea managed to score the equalizer. they got into overtime and won the penalty kick. it was their matchplan. they would have had no chance in an open match. they knew bayern would destroy them so they played defensive. i am a lifetime fan of bayern... and a soccerfan for 40 years. and do you know what: chelsea deserved to win that night. they knew how to beat bayern. they did it. emotions in soccer are great... but too much of it is not a good companion when talking about it. there sometimes is more than meets the eye, at least if you watch it freqently and not only at world cup time. :)
-
Lol
I agree on the defensive strategy part but a yellow card for the goaly...... why?
Edit OMG Kahn is saying that ;D ;D ;D
I almost thought it was serious
-
"Das gehört zum Profisport..."
That's what Kahn said:
http://nos.nl/video/671394-kahn-actie-van-gaal-nog-nooit-meegemaakt.html
...and listen what he says about Robben.....and it's not just Robben in this team....and that is why the Dutch will become World Champion this time....
-
If we win this world cup we can put in the face of our 020 friends forever
How great would that be
-
If we win this world cup
it is more likely that you beat me in bishi bashi my friend.
-
We'll see Stefan
I'm more a club fan (I have a seasonticket for feyenoord for over 25 years) so I'm extra excited now for our national team then I ever have been
We could win. Nothing more and nothing less
-
You have to explain him that especially the Dutch defense consists of Feyenoord and former Feyenoord players and that before the tournament everybody said they were the weak spot of the team......LOL.
-
11 players plau or have played for feyenoord
9 of them grew up at our youth center

..... the thing with Krul... oh well... it was not me but pretty much the sportsworld not connected to the dutch team whatsoever. i did not like it when i saw it and the day after the international media was all over Krul. fifa is or was investigating. i did not find it clever. it was pretty dumb, right in the face. i also told you that it was a huge fault by the ref. one yellow card right at the start of his show would have ended it.
I heard and read this also and it is the biggest bullshit that I ever heard.
From the first minute of a football match players are intimidating their direct opponents physically and mentally and the chance that they actually get a card for it is very, very small. On the other hand, goalkeepers don't get the chance to do this because they have to remain in their position. So, if they get the chance then they will do it, like all their team mates. :)
So, people should not whine, football is a contact sport.
-
and it's called football! ;)
-
fixed that. ;D

i am a lifetime fan of bayern
Let me quote my ex-friend André here: "another ex-friend on my list"
;D ;)
I have no doubt that the dutch team has deserved to reach the semi finals against Costa Rica. It's just that CR fought bravely against a far superior opponent...they got my respect for this! :)
I guess the final will be Brazil vs. Netherlands but I'm afraid that Brazil will gets it's sixth star ::)
I do not believe that the loss of Neymar can stop them but we will see :)

but i understand you guys. orange glasses do no good while watching football. ;)

the loss of neymar is not their biggest problem. and yeah.. i really do think they are not going to make it tonight. i might be wrong but i am confident.
-
Germany is the better playing team so far, that's for sure. But that's not always enough for winning a match. I'm looking forward to the game. The best scenario for me is winning the final from Germany anyway. That would be awesome
-
Oh my God, 3-0 ...... What the heck, 4-0, after 25 minutes. I have never seen such an unbelievable thing. Poor, poor Brasilians. :o :o :o :o :o :o :o
I love it!! ;D ;D ;D My dream is coming true, we will meet the German team in the finals. YES!
Oh man, see those poor people on the tribunes, I really pity them.
I have to correct this: 5-0. . 6-0. . 7-0. . 7-1
:spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace: :D :D
Is this Match Fixing? LOL
-
Oh, and enjoy the upcoming victory, my dear German friends, it will be your last one during this WC! :)
-
hmmm this has to be the new world champion we're watching... :o
-
No. OK, the Germans play pretty good, but the Brazilian defense is like a cheese with big holes. The Dutch defence is much better. And we have Robben. ;D We will win.
And there will be 60.000+ Dutch supporters in the stadium Sunday.
-
Dutch cheese? :D
-
I can only think about these Germans that need to go to their hotels in 5 minutes.... goodluck ::)
-

I think that it is even worse for the Brazilian players. In those countries people get pretty easy killed for nothing. :?
-
I'm talking about the supporters, not the well protected players
-
So now it's our turn :twisted:
-
Just read a joke in the pinball-forum:
German guy met dutch guy in drugstore. Dutch guy said: 'Hey, we'll play against Argentinia tomorrow'
German guy answers: 'How weird, we too on Sunday' :D :D
-
LOL, we had the same joke but as you can imagine with other countries going around Social media here too....
See you in the finals. The Dutch will finish the total collapse of the South American football today.
-
LOL
-
The Germans are over the moon now and feel they will become world champion for sure. Excellent lets keep it that way.
The real story is that Brasil was just a bad team with an ever worse (or non existent) strategy/ defense.
I watched the first couple of minutes when they were storming like nuts and said to my friend at the club (where I was watching) that they would storm for the first 5 or 10 minutes and then the Germans would take over.
Of course a very well played match by the Germans and I enjoyed watching it, but Argentina and Holland are not as stupid and weak in the defense.
-
Do not underestimate the power of Messi and Dimaria!!!
-
The Germans are over the moon now and feel they will become world champion for sure. Excellent lets keep it that way.
trust me. you are totally wrong (again). :D
-
I'm with Tyrem here....they know that the final will be a completely different match!
It's funny that - each time that Germany scores more than 2 goals - everybody says that the opponents have been in a very bad shape. Was the same when we won 4:0 against Protugal.
Hello? It's Portugal and Brazil, not Malta and Shetland Islands!!
Of course, Brazil was completely shocked after 2:0 and even more after 3:0 and they couldn't find back to their tournament shape and everyone went nuts. But they wouldn't have been shocked if we wouldn't have shot the first goals in a row.
I'm very impressed that Germany kept moving towards the brazilian goal after the 2nd and 3rd goal instead of bringing the victory home by building a defense wall in front of Neuer.
Let's see if we will have a pure european final or a mixed one ;)
-
portugal was total crap. Like Spain.

portugal was total crap. Like Spain.
well... i am just getting the idea why DLF is an arcade board and not a football board. ;)

I only feel deep respect for the germans for last night's match
this was not just a match but a semi final against the host and 5 time world champion
if you pull of a 7-1, I can only deeply respect that...... it's never done before
now let's get the argentinians back for 78 and the germans for 74 so we don't have any trauma anymore

Yeah Ully....that's the difference between you and me.....I was supporting Germany up to now because I think it's an awesome team and I have good friends there.....
Oh, and the Brasilians hate Argentina :)
-
I only feel deep respect for the germans for last night's match
Me too, but I already had that and I already knew they wouldn't have much trouble with Brasil.
this was not just a match but a semi final against the host and 5 time world champion
Results of the past say nothing about today....
But yes, I think Germany has the best team of the tournament, the most balanced team for sure, and a superb keeper. That doesn't automatically mean they will win the tournament though :):)
-
Yeah Ully....that's the difference between you and me.....I was supporting Germany up to now because I think it's an awesome team and I have good friends there.....
why should i support a team who could potentially beat us? the sooner a favorite leaves the tournament, the better!
i'm sure we will see mr robben fly around like a ballerina again tonight, because that's what he does best ...

Ahahahahahaaaaaahahah, that's the Ully I know !!!!
Let me translate this......you guys shit your pants for us and pray for the weaker opponent in the final to get World Champion easily.
I am the opposite: if you want to be World Champion you will have to beat them ALL including the BEST ! ;D ;D ;D
Oh and about Robben......don't forget why we call it Schwalbe, you guys invented it in 1974:
http://youtu.be/xV-H4288yNk
And I hear nobody abroad about the 22 attacks (4,4 per match !) he had to endure during this Championship....

always a pleasure to provoke you, andré, it's so easy ...
go count your attacks, i will count his ballerina moves!!!
-
i can only speak for myself but i am definately not shitting my pants. not because of argentina, not because of holland. i like the dutch confidence at the moment. i don't care who will be playing against us in the final match. it is completely up to us if we win or not.
-
Wales are supporting Netherlands - Go for it !
-
Boring and bad and two exhausted teams... FIFA could just as well hand the cup to Germany tonight :'(
If any team, Argentina deserved it a little more, if I try to be honest...

a honor indeed. one of the best and most effecitve players in the world at the moment. and... an amazing guy!

glad it's over and all that orange crap is going out of the Streets.
but thats ofcourse because i dont care football :P
-
too bad we couldn't make it..... now the focus is back on Feyenoord that plays their 1st match in 2 weeks
hopefully we can qualify for the normal rounds of EC football this year, I can use some great trips after all these years....
-
Hah, well at least one thing from this tournament: Before it the "experts" said our defense was the weak spot because it mainly consits of (ex)Feyenoord players with little to no international experience......
Well they did a hell of a job, even yesterday. Messi didn't have one serious chance. Vlaar played his best match ever and De Vrij had done almost just as well.
Trouble is there will be clubs for them soon, Marins Indi already gone....well at least they can try to get a good deal of money for them...although IMHO Martins Indi already went too cheap.
Now we have to play that dreadful match that nobody wants to play or watch. WHY on earth do they maintain that match ? They torture everyone with it....just get rid of it FIFA.....
-
....just get rid of FIFA.....
I corrected that for you ;)
-

No no. It may be an amazing player to have on your side, for the opponents it's the new Lothar: loved by the Germans/Bavarians, hated by the rest of the world.

Agreed ! Sepp Blatter first !

you might be terribly wrong. hated in holland does not mean hated in the world. lothar is the best example. i used to travel a lot when i was between 18 and 25. he was the best known and most respected player back then. when people asked me where i was from they allways brought up football and lothar in the first 10 seconds. :)
from what i have seen so far there is not much hate for german football in the world at the moment.
-
You sure?
USA 320 million
Brazil 200 million
France 66 million
Argentina 42 million
Algeria 38 million
Ghana 22 million
Netherlands 17 million
Portugal 11 million
that's at least 800 million people with at least a bit of a grudge against German football :P
-
?
Don't agree. The German football team is excellent and plays a lot differently then in the 70's.
We should let all this hatred go, it's stupid.
For a tiny nation with just 17 million people and a Dutch competition that is much like a Mickey Mouse competition we do extremely well on World Championships and I am proud of the team. Beforehand, nobody gave much for them to survive the first round.
For my great German friends I hope they will become World Champion.
For Ully, I will have a chuckle if Argentina wins ;D ;D ;D ;) ;) ;) ;)

never had the intension to blow this up, sorry guys, go win the cup!
-
Willem van Hanegem for sure has a good reason to hate Germany and the Germans. But seriously, it makes me afraid and sad when people nowadays speak of 'hate' when they talk about football. How much did THEY learn from my nation's dark history?
I'm leaving this discussion now, it's getting offtopic.
-
ask Willem van Hanegem how he feels :)
wtf? seriously??? why bringing this up???
-
sorry guys, nothing more than a little football animosity, didn't mean to upset anyone :?
Cheers,
Marco
PS: 3rd place... it's stange, a month ago nobody in this country would have thought we'd reach 3rd place; and now we're still a little disappointed we didn't reach the final

Congrats German friends :)
totally deserved based on the complete tournament, but what the hell was the referee thinking with that faul Neuer made ???
Free kick for germany instead of a red card + penalty for Argentina
I guess you got very lucky there
-
Well, maybe the same that he was thinking when Schweinsteiger was hit in the face so hard that it had to be sewed or when Kramer was checked to the floor by an argentinian shoulder.
Seriously, of course this was wrong. IMHO Neuer would have deserved to see the yellow card for jumping into the man and Argentina should have gotten a free kick. But it's not fair to pick up this one scene only and not mention the other rude fouls. I thnik the shoulder check on Kramer's face was much harder and they didn't even see it.
-
hehe I didn't see the Kramer thing
I just had some 82 flashbacks
-
It could have gone wrong in the final, but Germany was the best team in the tournament I have to say - congrats!
But hey, wouldn't it be fair to send over half of the Cup to Holland as a big "Thank You!" for exhausting the Argentinians in the semi-final ;)
Cheers

I don't know if you can watch the game on the internet. ARD has a 'mediathek' but it only runs in germany. At least they says so, you can give it a try.

If you can watch it, go to 16:20 and see what happens on the right of the playfield, near the argentinian goal. The game continues but is soon stopped and then they show some slow motions. Poor boy. It was a knock off and IMHO well worth a penalty and red card.
I'm not complaining about this but I don't want to see Neuer's foul judged and the others not.

Thanks! :)
erm, you don't think the german players transfer their bonusses to our bank accounts, do you? :o
We will see what we can do ;)
Stefan, we should think about something to celebrate with our dutch friends!

Agreed ! :)

Meanwhile....
-
LOL ;D

Nice one. :D
By the way, we should put Germany just one level higher than Brazil, they showed nothing in the final, their goalkeeper grew up to Kahn and Schumacher, the 2 biggest dickhead in football history.
-
Ooooooohhhhhh....that's going to be another dog-fight....wait.....

Nothing is a big word, but the match was pretty similar to the half-final the Dutch played against Argentina.
However the German defense had more problems than the Dutch one to keep them from scoring, they were pretty lucky a couple of times that they didn't finish the chances.
Of course Germany had one or two chances too, but it sure wasn't anything like against Brazil, which (like our victory over them too) proves my point that the Brazilian defense had more holes than a Swiss cheese.
IMHO Neuer should have been sent off with a red card. First of all for the insane knee-kick in the face of his opponent , second for hands (he was clearly outside the box, which also revokes all his "keeper rights" when it comes to being in a "duel").
It was no penalty because it was outside the box.
Utter surprise when the referee actually succeeded in "whistling the other way" !!!!
That would definitely have changed the match towards the Argentines....but hey it didn't happen.
We had some luck with the referee in the last match too. Robben was attacked outside of the box, so no penalty but a clear case of a player who is heading alone to the goal and being brought down, which is a clear FIFA rule for a red card....
The second goal there was an off-side situation on the long pass from the right. But hey....we've had bad decisions against us enough during the tournament.
Conclusion is that FIFA sent away the best referee (Björn Kuipers) while he still could have done the final easily (or the 3rd/4th place match had The Netherlands qualified), and instead selects some "lesser gods" for political reasons.
All in all the conclusion is that there were two countries who did not loose a single match :)
I would have loved to see Germany-Netherlands as a final. I seriously think we would have won. We had a better, much better defense, and more individual class. On top of that (for a change?) it was a very very tight team. If ever....we had the chance this time :(
-
I also mentioned the Neuer thing, but there was a very hard foul on Kramer too in the 1st half that could've easily been a penalty
If it only had been one, then maybe the game maybe would've been fun to watch.
very good point indeed about the German goalkeepers ;D
-
lol.. you guys are too funny. :D

Stefan, please, don't jump in and make it worse!! If this continues and escalates I might consider to cancel my hotel reservation in Hilversum....

Please don't, we're just kidding (at least I am)

Gentlemen, I really can understand that you are disappointed for only reaching third place (though your team all in all played a good tournament) or for EVEN NOT BEING PART OF IT ;)
I really can`t read it anymore, how much better your team was and that you would have beaten our team in the final, if only you would have reached it.
YES, we had luck, too. But most of the chances were dumped by not being able to kick the ball inside the net though there was only one player left in front of them. Is this luck or incompentence? Luck is always part of the game.
YES, Neuer should have seen at least the yellow card for his foul and getting a free kick was ridiculous. But there have been so many rude fouls (against Schweinsteiger, Robben, Müller, Messi, Neymar and all the other great guys that could not be stopped in a fair way most of the time) that didn't see a yellow or even a red card.
Béla, so you call Kahn, Schumacher and finally Neuer the biggest dickheads in football history? Why? Because they played their games with passion? A dickhead IMHO is a guy who has to leave the playfield and spits twice into his opponent's hair!! So happened in the semi final 1990 Germany vs. Netherlands (sorry, no general bashing against dutch football players, but this scene really made me mad and I have no understanding at all for such disrespectful behaviour).
It's over, folks.
Whoever can stop whining, complaining, telling everybody how bad Germany was, is heartly invited to join me happy guy for a small worldcup party on Friday evening (Sept.12th) with a (hopefully cool and) delicious german Weißbier right out of the (unloaded) decorated car :)
-
Oh come on Thorsten....I think I was pretty objective in my analysis ...I even admitted we were lucky (sometimes) :)
The German team was the best overall the tournament and so the rightful winner, I never said they were bad !
You missed the shit we got over our heads about Tim Krul's little psychological warfare and Robben's so-called Schwalbes because that was mostly on Facebook so we've had our share just as well......ease up my friend :)
I am glad to enjoy your party and weissbier, bring a Geman hat and I'll wear gladly ! :)
-
I want a Weissbeer too.
-
I want a Weissbeer too.
+1 :)
And congrats to all the Germans, you were indeed the best team
-
Believe me my friends, I'm not taking this too serious ;)
Just wanted to calm things down before they get out of hands.
André, I didn't like what Krul was doing but it's not my business to judge it, the referee should have said something, it's not fair play IMHO. Indeed Neuer's jump into Higuain (?) was far worse and the jump into Neymars's back was the worst. This poor guy could be disabled now and that would really be shit!
I liked the idea of a european final and if we wouldn't have made it into the final but Netherlands I would have crossed my fingers that you make it! :)
So let's not talk further about the bad or unfair things that happened. Let's talk about the good things, the good guys, the beautiful moments and goals. For example, I really had tears in my eyes when Klose hugged his two boys and cried after they had won the cup. I once met him on a stadium party in Kaiserslautern when I played there with my band and he was still playing for my favourite Bundesliga team. He's suuuch a great guy and I really enjoy he now got the success he deserves.
I'm really looking forward to September and I'm glad we (Dirk and I) can make it on Friday this year!! :)
Oh, and the least thing I wanna hear then is how much better alll other teams have been :P ;) ;D
-
Waha, you're right. The best team wins :)
Things are never getting out of hand, after all it's just football and we know each other well enough :)
Gonna enjoy that Weissbier and don't forget to bring a hat ;D
