David vs. Goliath

Last night, even I watched the match Austria : Germany. With one eye and half an ear while reading on the sofa after swimming sans Mermaid in a deserted pool. The fact that Germany won was predictable enough, but the atmosphere in town yesterday was fun and uncharacteristically vibrand. A victory would have been historic indeed, or rather the re-enactment of a historic victory which I am old enough to remember (OMG), but being Austrians, the battle cry "Wien wird Cordoba, shalalalalaaaah*" was apparently changed into "Wir können skiiiiifahren, shalalalalaaaa**" seconds after the final whistle according to my informers who watched the game in the designated fanzone downtown.

* Vienna will be Cordoba

** We can ski
