German bitterness continues
Its been 3 days since Germany’s loss to Italy in the epic semi-final in Dortmund and the Germans are yet to get over it. A number of journalists have declared all out war on Italy. Yesterday the website of newspaper Die Zeit had an article entitled “Mafia in the final” with a picture of some of the Italian players posing in their underwear. It also contained a link to an article entitled “Moggiopoli“, reminding its readers of the scandal currently gripping Italian football. Rheinische Post follows Die Zeit’s line and talks of the “French Revolution” which it expects to take place in Sunday’s final. Further, rather than focussing on tomorrow’s game most German press coverage if focussing on the future of their national team.
Following the incidents that marred the quarterfinal victory over Argentina, the Germans accused the Argentineans of being bad losers. Maybe they should take a look at themselves before they accuse others.
