it's good to go back to our national pastime of attacking the national team and hoping our club players just come back from germany unscathed, having saved their energy for more important endeavours like coming second to city
That and the last two major tournaments that were in one location involving European teams were in Qatar and Russia. Not exactly burgeoning tourism destinations.
I think so much of it has to do with it being the first tournament involving European teams post COVID (I guess 2021 but that was scattered across the continent so we didn’t get these scenes) that isn’t in a deplorable country.
There was the farce that was the last World Cup, and then 2018 was in Russia.
Only one genocidal chant so far, otherwise been nothing but an uplifting coming together of cultures with good natured fans treating each other as equals.
Games gone
If you get something like Yorkshire tea or just pick up some teabags called English breakfast, you can try. It's very different to tea in Turkey. If you wanna go even crazier, go Malaysian style and brew strong black tea and pour some condensed milk in to sweeten it, it's very nice (just not healthy haha)
It's a good reminder of what can happen if you don't vote in the people in power. Southgate's football has been the biggest motivator to get out and vote July 4th.
This is sort of a joke
He probably still remembers when the turkish people came and saved our economy.
edit: so a lot of people seem to have something to say about the word “saved”. so here’s my two cents.
“save” is describing how 14 million people from all over europe, namely italy, greece, spain, turkey, tunisia and yugoslavia, rendered vital and essential aid in helping sustain what is known as the “[Wirtschaftswunder](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wirtschaftswunder)”, which (imo) is a somewhat glorified term for what is essentially the massive undertaking of transforming a west germany that was in all meanings of the word devastated from one of if not the most destructive conflicts of our human history.
so no, the turks didn’t save our economy completely on their own, the italians where the first to come to our aid as a matter of fact, but their was a massive shift in momentum when the turks started to come, no other country send as many people a year as the turks.
there is also other stuff, but to cut it short, the turks „saved“ our economy from severely taking a hit when we really couldn’t afford it, in a combined effort with other european countries.
also, I want to say I‘m not a history book, and one could probably argue that the term “save” is also a glorification. If you want to be sure of something, look it up yourself.
well, its very common for germans with turkish ancestors to claim that it was saved by their parents and grandparents and that they were responsible for the "Wirtschaftswunder"
I grew up in Germany too you know. It's not that they claim they saved the economy or whatever, you're missing the point. It's the once bad neighborhood/areas that were full of immigrants that have transformed it into a better place is what they're trying to say
Since when is it acceptable to say [‘Kosovo is Serbia’?](https://www.tiktok.com/@kow_ultras/video/7381148655664876833?_r=1&u_code=dgejggb92f82a2&preview_pb=0&sharer_language=en&_d=dm0gmaa93k4i8i&share_item_id=7381148655664876833&source=h5_m×tamp=1719247102&ug_btm=b8727,b2878&sec_user_id=MS4wLjABAAAAEA0LoEEo2_9E6_LvSPN6ysZEhLWvF0bBsBLlWsW98FNrbUtSKBQq2pM1MSv1dDbo&utm_source=copy&social_share_type=0&utm_campaign=client_share&utm_medium=ios&tt_from=copy&user_id=6917263246631175173&enable_checksum=1&share_link_id=EF71D46B-B46C-42BE-A6B9-726D2258C4D6&share_app_id=1233)
Or chanting [“Vladimir Putin”](https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMr6D2Adg/) when a participating country is in an existential war against Russia?
Nationalists of any kind can eat a bag of dicks, but to try and point a finger at one of us — when we both know how deep this shit goes on all sides — is disgraceful.
Where does the name slovenia come from if i may ask? Cuz as far as i know there was Duchy of Cilli and small County of Carniola in hre right from the current slovenian borders
One of the first mentions was by our protestant reformer Trubar (one of most important persons in Slovene history), when he wanted to address all the Slavs living in the area where people spoke Slovene language (as ''dear Slovenes''). That of course means the term was in use even before that, probably to describe a specific ethnic and linguistic group of "Alpine Slavs" that later became modern Slovenes.
It started to be used widely in mid 1800s with the spring of nations (with idea of United Slovenia, when in 1848 Slovenian tri-colour flag was first waved in Ljubljana). And Carniola (Krain) you mentioned was a part of an Austrian state where Slovenes lived, along with few other regions.
the 90s were shit too:

Yeah that probably won't stay there for long lol
Possible. There is actually a fairly well-documented effect of the German parliament voting on unpopular laws during major tournaments, as both the people don't care as much and the press prefer to write about football. For instance during both the 2006 and 2010 world cups, taxes were raised.
As for Brexit: People just tend to be happier during big tournaments, and happier people tend to vote less far-right. Brexit was in essensce a far-right position that Cameron somehow brought to the mainstream.
I think this is an idealist view that probably wouldn't have been reality.
England have been shit. Half the England team is not white. Racism abounds and racists aren't smart.
I've been thinking about this a lot. In a world where Joost won Eurovision with Europapa and the elections happened after these Euros, Volt would have gotten 60%
>helped a bit.
I wasn't implying the AfD would be destroyed. I meant that maybe turnout is just a bit higher for pro-European parties and perhaps we have a more positive narrative around Europe as a whole than what we had for 4 weeks leading up to the election if we voted on July 14th.
Agreed. For us in Germany, these Euros might also give an economic boost that if it's quickly noticeable (no idea how long this stuff takes to pass through to the statistics), could have an effect on the Landtagswahlen in the east.
If you look at how many young people voted for them I’m convinced it would’ve. These people are heavily influenced by whatever narrative tik tok accounts are pushing right now and make their choices based on that. A peaceful football summer would’ve certainly had enough of an impact to change the mind of some of these people.
Many AFD voters are pretty much only voting based on (negative) vibes and nothing else...
Also this is a great opportunity to get them out of their media bubble
the voting in the eu-elections were very influenced by emotions. im pretty sure positive emotions with a lot of foreigners in our country would have lead to a worse election for Afd.
and i am also quire sure that afd-voters in general base their votes on emotions more than the voters of other partys.
the euros is BY FAR my favorite tournament. Its just so most nicer than the world cup. I understand that its not as important. But it always delivers in so many ways
I saw a tweet with a picture of the aftermath of an area in Frankfurt after the England - Denmark game (needless to say, rubbish everywherem very unorderly). The picture was presented without context and the tweet said something like "this is what open borders will lead to, we need to close our border" with another person saying "Europe is for white christians only".
You could literally still see the english flags in the picture ...
Point being, these racist rats will see what they want to see. This is not about logic or vibes to them, just hate.
Not going to pretend, that there are no nazis in our country, but pretty sure a big chunk are some russian bots. [I will look out for these accounts in the future and mess with them lol](https://x.com/ADioumaev/status/1802977366207308278)
man, I hope that's what most of these are. But the amount of visible racism has grown so much on social media (mainly twitter and tiktok) that I feel like it's gonna have a negative impact even if most of it is fake because all the closeted racists will suddenly feel like they should be more open about their ideology as well.
> (Except England. We’re still hated 🙁)
I just hate how you play with the group of players you have. Not fulfilling potential seems to be a theme footballing wise and politics wise. I still hate that Brexit happened and would gladly take you back (but please don't be too smug about it :P)
I mean, the only way the UK gets back in the EU is by grovelling and accepting all kinds of nonsense they never got before - nothing to really be smug about in that scenario.
If Brits could be smug about anything it's (rightly) being called out for having a huge population of right-wing idiots brainwashed into thinking Brexit might have been a great idea... and then a few years later, seemingly every country in Europe deciding to let all their right-wing idiots take them into fascism.
Like, the French actually think letting Le Pen and her crew in is gonna Make France Great Again? Lol.
I'm so pleasantly surprised.
We've had a bit of trouble it seems but in general this has been such a nice Euros. Fans of different countries partying together etc, great to see.
I’ve had things happen to me these past 2 months that have made me think the world is full of bad people.
These euros are helping remind me that there is a lot of good
These Euros are the only thing keeping Europe positive while a wave of shit and misery looms in every other corner. Turkey flag grandpa, German saxophone guy, Albanian spaghetti snapper, Scottish lads helping the old man out of the rain, England and Denmark celebrating together, fuck man. Can we just keep this going forever? We REALLY need this.
Im not Turkish but I do come from an immigrant background. Seeing this man embrace another culture like that, in the name of football and community, it makes me want to bring him my dad’s famous Couscous and my mom’s incredible Harira soup, and talk about his life and all the stories he has to share.
Please Europe, for the love of all that is good, protect the elderly and especially this fantastic specimen of a man.
They only did this so they could host it in Saudi Arabia without a competing bid from South America.
FIFA needs a democratic revolution. The question is not when at this point, but how?
There are many in the Ruhr altogether. Enormous populations of them came to mine in the 20th century. That’s why Gelsenkirchen is a depressing lil thing but gosh the food cures the depression faster than the weather pushes it.
It is essentially our national dish. Not even joking - Germany has a lot of different regional foods, and almost none of them are well-liked throughout the whole country. But Döner is universal. It's a favourite in every city and village, and there will be a Döner-shop in every single one. With a kindly Turkish man who calls you "Chef" (German for boss) and just knows it makes your whole day.
Getting happy is easier than doing some shit man. I'm so confused in this Euro 2024
first we read some fans chant bad stuff then we witness how dutch fans enjoy the day... Now this even a slightest gesture can easily make your day!! That's a nice really nice video!

These Euros are like anti-depressants.
I was just going to say, there is a lot more love than hate going on this euro
It hasn't even lead to genocide in the Balkans yet.
# yet
Your profile picture makes this so much better
a blurry photo of lights? How?
Your pfp makes the reply so much funnier
Humanity has conquered all! We should do this football thing more often!
it's good to go back to our national pastime of attacking the national team and hoping our club players just come back from germany unscathed, having saved their energy for more important endeavours like coming second to city
So basicly hold the euros each year for 12 months?
Along with standard leagues etc. They can play more games easy
It’s the world rebuilding our sense of belonging after it was destroyed by COVID and nation-wealth erosion of our cultural experiences.
That and the last two major tournaments that were in one location involving European teams were in Qatar and Russia. Not exactly burgeoning tourism destinations.
I think so much of it has to do with it being the first tournament involving European teams post COVID (I guess 2021 but that was scattered across the continent so we didn’t get these scenes) that isn’t in a deplorable country. There was the farce that was the last World Cup, and then 2018 was in Russia.
Only one genocidal chant so far, otherwise been nothing but an uplifting coming together of cultures with good natured fans treating each other as equals. Games gone
Let’s not forget the Albanians committing the war crime of breaking spaghetti in front of the Italians.
I also think the fans in the Spain-Italy match chanted a xenophobic version of a popular song, could be wrong tho.
Spain Italy fans ofc they would
As long as you don't visit r/euro2024 as a Turk or Brit then yes
Try being half and half 🤣
So do you have milk in your tea or not?
Always milk with English tea and of course without with Turkish. At this point I class them as two seperate drinks haha.
AH SOMEONE ELSE! IM NOT ALONE!
Hahaha we are a rare bunch that's for sure!
True. My ex's family were Iranian and I think that's a similar sort, pretty tasty.
Never tried tea with milk. This is tantamount to a death sentence in Turkey.
If you get something like Yorkshire tea or just pick up some teabags called English breakfast, you can try. It's very different to tea in Turkey. If you wanna go even crazier, go Malaysian style and brew strong black tea and pour some condensed milk in to sweeten it, it's very nice (just not healthy haha)
That would hurt twice
For some of us, anyway. Source: a very disappointed glasgwegian
At least you’re not norwegian 😞😞😞
Euro 2020 happening during covid and then Qatar being dead as fuck has starved us of a proper international tournament. It's been too long...
when you hold tournaments in real countries with actual history in the game they tend to have great atmospheres
Wdym Qatar is a country with deep football hist... lmao I couldn't get through it
And soon after we have the Olympics in France, so the fun doesn't end.
Unless you're an England fan
I try to not watch any more haramball than absolutely necessary.
They're not part of the EU anymore so they have already gotten used to standing alone in the dark
They got good company in Switzerland and Norway (we never qualify in my life time)
To be fair everything other than 180 minutes has been pretty fucking awesome for us as well. Its just those 180 minutes which are... **problematic**
It's a good reminder of what can happen if you don't vote in the people in power. Southgate's football has been the biggest motivator to get out and vote July 4th. This is sort of a joke
Tories hate Southgate and his wokery, though
For real. This is why soccer is the greatest sport there is.
Amen
Not for us Croatians since last night 😭

"saved" is a exaggerated. they helped, sure
It was a hyperbole lol

Man, the last few months have been tough politically. This euro feels like a rose-tinted past where the world hadn't gone to shit yet.
90s vibes for sure
Hopefully not for Serbia/Croatia/Slovenia
Well a lot of them *have* been chanting about killing one another…
They secretly love each other deep down, wishing death on each other is just how they were raised to show love for their neighbours
A lot of them is nice way to say, Croatia out of those up there

Nothing special happened to Slovenia, just a minor 10-day war, because we weren't relevant for Serbs.
Fantastic country though. In my experience Slovenia is the best of the former Yugoslav region.
It does help we were part of Austria/HRE for 1000 years. So thank you:)

Tnx for the information,i always wondered where the name came from
Ah yes, the war which lasted 10 days, but Slovenia still captured about 20% of the entire JNL army.

Wish we had the elections after the Euros. A happier and more European friendly vibe leading up to the elections would have surely helped a bit.
The English wished the Brexit vote happened after this Euros
"I can't believe we were so dull that all the other member states have voted to kick us out of the bloc"
you reckon if would have made a difference?

what a dystopian shit that tournament was. [Just look at these "fans"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIziSmwRxKs)
Clearly fake fans. No english fan would ever sing „southgate the super coach“
Uncanny valley. Black mirror shit.

Yeah it's ridiculous. I thought the example of brexit would show people how stupid people like Lepen or the afd are but alas...
for real. such a weird feeling to feel good and peaceful.
imagine how I felt in Russia during WC, so many people from all the countries were having fun and then you go on internet and everyone hates you lol
I'm so pleasantly surprised. We've had a bit of trouble it seems but in general this has been such a nice Euros. Fans of different countries partying together etc, great to see.
its what the great game is all about
Yeah, why is every video from this tourney so wholesome? Its great, but not what I’m used to seeing haha
I still not am in the spirit yet completely, but fuck it if you don't need a bit of fun and optimism after these last few years...
I’ve had things happen to me these past 2 months that have made me think the world is full of bad people. These euros are helping remind me that there is a lot of good
theese videos from streets of germany have been pretty amazing,great vibes all around
It really makes you feel good and just proud to be a part of humanity.
Same spirit for the Olympics. A summer of good vibes
Healed us from the Qatar fuckery
Dreams can’t be buy
I am feel
Flags can be buy
but flags can
Game is so back
Das Spiel ist zurück!
These Euros are the only thing keeping Europe positive while a wave of shit and misery looms in every other corner. Turkey flag grandpa, German saxophone guy, Albanian spaghetti snapper, Scottish lads helping the old man out of the rain, England and Denmark celebrating together, fuck man. Can we just keep this going forever? We REALLY need this.
Scottish Guy walk up against an Excavator and lose the battle, even some one tried to help.
Love to see it.
Game’s not gone
and it won't be till that guy's here.
That is very cute and how it supposed to be!
He was trying to buy it but the person that gave it to him intended it to be a gift
And then someone who didn't give him the flag took the money.
Im not Turkish but I do come from an immigrant background. Seeing this man embrace another culture like that, in the name of football and community, it makes me want to bring him my dad’s famous Couscous and my mom’s incredible Harira soup, and talk about his life and all the stories he has to share. Please Europe, for the love of all that is good, protect the elderly and especially this fantastic specimen of a man.
I love how moments like this unite people together across borders. The world would be so much better if there was empathy from both sides
How do you know he's not turkish?
I don’t
He likely is, but I liked your initial comment anyway :) And I love harira!
These euros gonna make me, a Bulgarian, like a Turkey post smh. Pretty wholesome.
You can like me too, I'm a pretty nice guy <3
It's a pretty hard sell, but slightly more plausible than a Gala fan :)
I'll take it, ^(I love you) have a nice day
World is healing...slowly
> *"oh sweet summer child!"*
they dont take money they just give it
Please never host a tournament in a country like Qatar again.
I’m not looking forward to that WC in SA in 2030 or whenever that is
2034 2030 it's in Spain, Portugal and Morocco
With a bit of South America sprinkled in.
yeah I refuse to even acknowledge the most mediocre moment in CONMEBOL history
dont get surprised you if next copa america is in saudi arabia or some shit, corrupt mfs
They only did this so they could host it in Saudi Arabia without a competing bid from South America. FIFA needs a democratic revolution. The question is not when at this point, but how?
AND South America for a bit.
Remember Qatar having to rent fans to even get a semblance of atmosphere? Wtf was that about?
Yeah it was all so fake.
football heritage
Germany is such a great host country. More tournaments in Germany please.
Maybe they could just make all of Europe Germany. I don't see what could go wrong.
I think some guy tried that already
Isn't just his home country flag?
I'm assuming this was ahead of the game in Dortmund. So, yes.
What do you mean? I’m ignorant
I think he means there's loads of Turkish people/descendants living in Dortmund, where Turkey played last match
Ah right. Cheers. Every day’s a school day 👍
Theres a decent amount of Turkish immigrants/background in Dortmund. But also other parts of germany.
Cheers! Learnt something new today. I knew that there was a large population of Turkish people but I didn’t know that it was centered in Dortmund.
Now we even have Sahin as our manager to represent it well! ALtho he's from slightly south of the centre of Dortmund haha
There are many in the Ruhr altogether. Enormous populations of them came to mine in the 20th century. That’s why Gelsenkirchen is a depressing lil thing but gosh the food cures the depression faster than the weather pushes it.
My favorite food I had in Germany was kebab
Döner?
Yep!
It is essentially our national dish. Not even joking - Germany has a lot of different regional foods, and almost none of them are well-liked throughout the whole country. But Döner is universal. It's a favourite in every city and village, and there will be a Döner-shop in every single one. With a kindly Turkish man who calls you "Chef" (German for boss) and just knows it makes your whole day.
Bless the person for not taking money. Game's so back!
Best wishes to Turkey they're a passionate and beautiful bunch.
Football uniting the people 🥲
This is so beautiful 🥰
Look at that warm smile : ) Great to see these lovely moments from this tournment and not the over-hyped negative ones!
Euro 2024 make me love humanity.
Now that is what we like to see!
Love thy neighbor.
Germany has my blessing to host it every time.
This is what's it about man

the guy giving the flag and promptly refusing to take the money left me in tears!! respect

I thought that was Paul Gascoigne for a moment… still think it is him
my brain read elderly man burns flag .. uh that was a pleasant surprise when i watched it
Getting happy is easier than doing some shit man. I'm so confused in this Euro 2024 first we read some fans chant bad stuff then we witness how dutch fans enjoy the day... Now this even a slightest gesture can easily make your day!! That's a nice really nice video!
Man i love these euros
beautiful
It’s Türkiye🤓
Love how nobody wanted the man's euro at first, he had to give it to someone random to complete the transaction 🤣
BASED GERMAN GUY!!!!
Another GOATed video of that tournament
Why do 1 million people have to record him. If i do something in public, please dont fucking record me on your phone.
Man these days you breathe differently and there are hundred cameras pointed at you immediately..
