Finally football and freshly tapped beer again. Germany has started the European Football Championship. And after many months of strict corona rules, fans can again watch the games in larger groups – like here in a beer garden in Munich.
Cheering together, that wasn’t possible at the opening game. In the end it was 0: 1 for France – through an own goal by Mats Hummels. For the first time a German team lost at the start of a European championship. The pressure on the national team should now be greater. But the fans still seem to be relaxed.
Quotes Germany fans:
“I think it was a positive start to the tournament. So I think Germany played well, especially in the second half, actually superior from my point of view. You had the greatest possession of the ball and I am positive. “
“Hopefully we’ll play better in the next game.”
“Yes, so it was a shame there were so few opportunities to score. But I think the next game will be better against Portugal, that will be important. And above all, it will be exciting to see how Portugal play against France. That will be very crucial for our group. “
The France fans, on the other hand, were able to cheer and enjoyed the evening in the Bavarian capital to the full.
Quotes France fans:
“It was great. I am very happy to have been to the stadium. We missed it. We won, that’s the most important thing. The three points are the most important. “
»I think we were the better team. But I’m very disappointed: the Germans didn’t do that much. But the most important thing is that we got three points. We continue.”
“Allez, let’s go France! That was such a great game. Germany played well, but France was better. “
The next opponent in the so-called »death group« is Portugal on the Germans’ agenda. Maybe you will hear cheers from the beer gardens again.
