Summer is back. Have a great week ahead!























Erst tranken sie die Gaststätten von München leer, dann die Kneipen von Köln, schließlich die Bars von Stuttgart: Schottlands Fußballer sind raus, aber ihren Fans gebührt ewiger Dank, weil sie die gute Stimmung ins Land brachten.









Jeder Spielort, den sie heimsuchten, wurde schottifiziert, und weil ein Großturnier inzwischen auch ein Social-Media-Ereignis ist, waren die Laufwege der freundlichen Krieger der Tartan Army jederzeit im Netz nachvollziehbar. Hier hüpfte ein Schotte nackt in den Rhein, dort geleiteten zwei Schotten einen Rollator-Mann durch den Dauerregen. Die Kombination aus Vorwitzigkeit und Fürsorglichkeit ist schwer zu schlagen.





Schotten und Schottinnen waren die Glückskekse im Land der Hängegesichter, sie hinterlassen bleibende Bilder, auch bleibende Gesänge. Ungewöhnliche Preziosen aus dem Fußball-Liederbuch, das sich sonst ganz wesentlich aus Beschwörungen eigener Stärke zusammensetzt. Die Schotten – sicher das Highlight ihres Repertoires – sangen, während sie an einem Bahnhof auf den Zug warteten, der mal wieder nicht kam: „Are you ScotRail in disguise?“, seid ihr die verkleidete schottische Bahn. Hohe Kunst der Selbstironie. Gern auf die Infrastruktur im Gastland einteufeln, aber im Beiklang auch gnädig zugestehen: Anderswo ist es auch nicht so viel besser.





There’s already a future plan:

Thanks for coming to Germany!
You’ll be missed! 🫶
Bye, bye, Scottish friends 👋
And so it continuous… the German fairytale 2024.
Germany won 2:0 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

The country is in an absolute party mode.









And a little guide for our friends coming to Germany these days. It wouldn’t be Germany without rules, right? Here you go:










To another great week filled with lots of good soccer games. Hope the bars in Munich and Stuttgart refilled their beer, so Germany & guests are ready for more party ⚽️





Besides soccer, more good news are happening:









And so it begins.



First game UEFA Euro 2024:
Germany 🇩🇪 – 🏴 Scotland
5:1
Wow 💪🏻 The family chat (hubby’s family) was alive as you can imagine. I mean, clearly Germany would win… but didn’t expect that result.
What a fantastic first game! Fantastic atmosphere in Munich! T H A N K YOU!










Thanks for partying in Germany! Thanks, Scotland, for having such a great time! That’s what we all need. Thanks for being our guests! 🫶
In soccer fever. Already ready for the next game ✌🏻⚽️💪🏻

Can there be any good news on a Monday after a very sad & terrifying result of the European elections yesterday???
The answer is yes. Yes, and we need more Irmelas!












Bill May is a towering figure in the sport of artistic swimming, a breaker of barriers for more than three decades and a leader in the decades-long effort to open Olympic competition to men.
But his fate this summer will rest not on his individual achievements or stature as an advocate, but on his ability to perform as one-eighth of a team of women half his age.
A rule change in 2022 cleared the way for men to compete in the sport at this summer’s Paris Games.
That means that this is May’s first and, realistically, last chance ever to fulfill his lifelong dream of competing in the Olympics. He is 45 years old, and on Saturday, the team will announce who made the tinal cut.
“I didn’t think you had to look a certain way,” he said.
“I just knew that I loved the sport.” Once, when he was 14, the family of a girl he had defeated in an individual competition booed him, but mostly his gender wasn’t an issue. “They treated me like any other athlete,” he said.



Today is maybe one of the most important days for the EU.

I enjoyed political discussions with family, friends and work colleagues in the past weeks and days.

At least in my close circle, we all have the same opinion: voting is important. Always. But these days it is even more important.

So happy to finally see some supporting voices from Germanys big companies.
