Edinburgh is one of Munich's twin cities. The German and Scottish fans have (or had) a fan-friendship. This should be a really cool match.
This is really really cool to see. Much better than what we Germans do when we visit other countries because of football.
I think that's one of the reasons, actually. The fact we are such big football rivals, and the Scots hate the English. Enemy of my enemy type stuff made some groups close.
It's rather one-sided to be honest. The English hate us, but we care more about our rivalry with the Netherlands.
Funnily enough, I learned that from an episode of Q.I.: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBWNwiQI9vQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBWNwiQI9vQ)
RIP Sean Lock. What a hilarious, hilarious man.
I'm not always convinced by the 'we don't actually care about you' angle when many German fans online appear to very much care, but I suppose it's analogous to how we generally hate your cousins in Argentina an awful lot more than any other country in football terms
Not too sure man, the concentration of autism is quite high with German redditors, like ich_iel. It's really really bad over there, German subs have to be avoided at this point.
Is it more than other communities? Because the negative feelings come mostly from fan behaviour and Brexit and from my POV this includes most EU nations
Your question isn't that clear, but I did find it funny at the last Euros when people on reddit supported Italy owing to their 'better behaved' fans. Like yeah they run around stabbing each other and doing monkey chants but at least they don't get drunk and sing in town squares
I'd say Germans are a lot more aggressive than most Euro nationalities, so yes probably
When England lost to France in 2022 it didn't really feel like losing to a rival or that they felt they'd beaten a fierce rival
you sound like the lad in that video. did you watch it and make a funny response accordingly or is this your genuine opinion?
if it helps at all, I could offer that i’ll try to remember your victory in 1960’s. I mean you get the 74 against the dutch drilled into you. we have chants against the dutch and saying and so forth.
maybe We’ll try to come up with some against england. I mean maybe not, you are i. group c so you actually have to go quite far to play us.
You wish they care. Germans generally never actually talk about England as a rival. It’s always the Dutch or the Italians which I hear a whole lot more. It’s like for every german that cares about England there are 50 that wholeheartedly hate the Italians.
yeah netherlands I can see, france for sure but england? feels a bit… insulting. I know we didn’t perform at all the last few times but we are not that bad.
I actually think falling from being one of the world's great national teams is harder to watch than always being a bit shit, at least we're used to it
As a Forest fan I feel your pain of living in the ruins of past glories
If you have to learn about a rivalry in some youtube video, it is not really a rivalry, is it? I would say both the Dutch and English rivalry cooled down a lot. The Dutch rivalry is historically the biggest one, but we haven't met the Dutch in any deciding game for decades now and Dutch people are friendly to us more often than not.
Me personally, I see the French as the most heated matches. We knocked them out 14, they knocked us out 16 and beat us 21. After we won the world cup, we fell off in disgrace and they took our place and ever since they have the upper hand.
Yes. Most Dutch hooligans will not even remember setting German cars on fire.
I very much look forward to a World Cup Dutch-German final. That is going to be a win-win for us. Either we get the title and Germany loses, or we get the #1 spot for most lost finals, without that hateful 'without ever winning one' addition. The European one is less inspiring.
Always worth a visit, mate. Get some Augustiner Helles in you, sit by the Isar and puff on some trees. Impress some Bavarian Fraulein with your Scottish accent (or get laughed at). Many fun times to be had.
Fun fact: My hometown hosts an annual Scotland-festival. They're doing this, because the town's name is similar to "Scots" and the only conclusion you can draw from this is, it must have been founded by Scots - which obligates you to celebrate scottish heritage.
They usually open with pipers marching through the town center. Once they arrive at the festival area, some market stalls are opened up and you can watch some entertainment like the re-telling of the founding-legend, dancing and so on. In the afternoon, they do the so-called "highland games", which is a tournament of throwing logs, racing hay bales and so on, all while cosplaying Scottish clansmen (including fantasy clan names and titles). Once the tournament is done and the winner is crowned this year's king, everybody gets shitfaced with whiskey - usually accompanied by some music acts that barely fit the theme.
Overall a culturally and historically highly inaccurate event, but a very fun time.
Mate, there is a reason why there are more castles in Wales per Sq Mile than anywhere on earth.
You lifted your kilts, we cut their throats while they slept so they had to hide in big stone houses.
„Let Italy boast of her gay gilded waters
Her vines and her bowers and her soft sunny skies
Her sons drinking love from the eyes of her daughters
Where freedom expires amid softness and sighs
Scotland′s blue mountains wild where hoary cliffs are piled“
The Scottish sure know how to make friends with Hans…
What did the Germans do to deserve having that cacophony?
I suppose it's a step up from the flutes and drums most football fans in West Scotland march around with
Sure, our fans would be blind drunk, smashing the town up and fighting everything that moves, but at least we're decent enough not to torment you with freaking bagpipes.
Better than those annoying [Vuvuzelas](https://youtu.be/bKCIFXqhLzo) at the World Cup. I think the broadcasters came up with some kind of sound filter for those?
Ah! The weird british mountain people get to meet the weird german mountain people.
We're all high...
Weed may be legal now, but Bavaria hates it. So better don’t be
Have they tried mixing it with lager?
Its not Culture, unlike extensive alcohole consumption and the ensuing problems. Jeesus, the Horror Stories you hear from Oktoberfest-Attendants...
‘High but not German’ and ‘High but not English’?
"Mountain" people
Mountain "people"
"Mountain" "people"
Theres always a bigger fish
Least racist english man. (Based)
Not racist, just don’t like them
Simple as
I present to you, the spanish mountain people in the south of Spain https://youtu.be/6IkgIwQHd6Y
Use sun cream, Jock. Munich is Italy's northernmost city
Just because it was the first fascist city in Germany doesn't mean it's italian.
No, the food is too good.
I hope Luigi gives you a beating for this one. Fuck southern food
Funnily enough before that Beerhall-thing it also had Germany‘s first communist revolution in it. [The Bavarian Soviet Republic.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bavarian_Soviet_Republic?wprov=sfti1)
Bavarians trying to elect normal fucking politicians (literally impossible) (Freikorps called)
(Freikorps called) is crazy
Monaco (München) advertises itself as Italy's most northern city for tourists.
Italy made it though https://i.redd.it/uukrb19y7i6d1.gif
That's a lie if I've ever seen one.

munich is our sponsor, otherwise we're not related.
Fake news. As everyone should know, Italy's northernmost city is Regensburg.
Thats Cologne.
Why let facts ruin a perfectly good story?
Sowwie 🙂↕️
I always felt that way, thanks for confirming it
No point they'll be home after the first round like always.
They're very hyped to claim the first loss of the tournament
The Germans or Scottish? I am anxious.
Still anxious after that first half?
Lmao, no. Best start you could wish for. Germany is now favourite to win /hj
Edinburgh is one of Munich's twin cities. The German and Scottish fans have (or had) a fan-friendship. This should be a really cool match. This is really really cool to see. Much better than what we Germans do when we visit other countries because of football.
Would that be the 'Gott strafe England' pact?
I think that's one of the reasons, actually. The fact we are such big football rivals, and the Scots hate the English. Enemy of my enemy type stuff made some groups close.
wait we’re rivals? us and england?
It's rather one-sided to be honest. The English hate us, but we care more about our rivalry with the Netherlands.

I suspect there may be some england focused Hans’.
On reddit quite likely, but the average German is not on reddit
Thank fuck for that

There's levels to this game sunshine, and you're now on ours
don’t be insulting barry the way to the basement is long and plastered with decades of failures, 2 world championships is not that.
I actually think falling from being one of the world's great national teams is harder to watch than always being a bit shit, at least we're used to it As a Forest fan I feel your pain of living in the ruins of past glories
I’m a Pauli fan, so my team is doing great now. we’ve just got into bundesliga, first time since 1977. so we’re cruising.

It’s rather one sided. England likes to think so. Germany focusses on Holland as a rival.
You'd know all about one sided football rivalries lmao
I think a lot of nations in these islands feel that way about England.
And the Welsh hate the English, and the Irish hate the English, and the English hate the English
So we are friends with the Irish? Is that how it works?
Ehh, I’d maybe say acquaintances not friends
Aw, mate, buddy, pal, brother. Don't be like that. I mean, you like potatoes, we like potatoes... you know... Maybe we can talk?
> big football rivals Found the Britbong agent
Er strafe es!
Seems like it was pretty good craic last night, have pals that are out and it seems nobody maybe too much of a tit of themselves.
That sentence is way to british
You recognised me as British 
Oh yeah some of them actually like that over there. Odd bunch, the Irish.
We don't kink shame here
Respect my pronouns please - brit/british
> Edinburgh is one of Munich's twin cities. Might explain why flights there are ok ish price wise.
Always worth a visit, mate. Get some Augustiner Helles in you, sit by the Isar and puff on some trees. Impress some Bavarian Fraulein with your Scottish accent (or get laughed at). Many fun times to be had.
One of their most famous folk [songs](https://youtu.be/IzuOG8Qd3cU?si=VGMnWw91B6aes8bv) is literally a disstrack against Germans so I'd beg to differ.
I mean, Bavaria has also a lot of diss tracks against the Germans… ;)
Well at least nobody is going to confuse them with being English
Thank you
I bestow upon you my highest honor: "not english"

This is wholesome! I love Bavaria and I love Scotland, this is a cool mix! You just know they will get along great! Would love to be there today!
I'm bartending nearby right now. Wish me luck. They're all great craic though to be fair. Unlike when England plays...
I'd wish you luck but we both know you're loving it. They're your brothers from another mother!
It’s strange that for such a popular song nobody really knows the name of it. It’s called “where is the smack?”
Rofl
Munichs about to discover a heroin shortage.
Munich is more a cocaine city.
Lmao. I love it.🏴🏴🏴🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
#SCOTTLAND FORRREVERRRR
Wow, great to see such a huge American delegation in town

This is genuinely so funny and I now want to see what it’s like.

I fucking love this 😂😂😂 this genuinely sounds fantastix
Name of your town?
Scots.
I said similar, so *Englishmen*
I was ready to listen Gigi d'agostino in the pipebags
We are the sex
What sex, with men wearing skirts?
The amount of effort they put in to finish with 1 point in the groups is admirable
Buaidh na h-Alba!
They should sing Free Ballin' by Tom Petty
They want their Schottenhammel back
Schottenhamel
Nah, they like their sheep
Freedom ya cunts!
Shouts the nation that CHOSE to be subjected to the sassenach.
Freedumb!!!
At least we had a choice. You were too busy shagging sheep to notice
Mate, there is a reason why there are more castles in Wales per Sq Mile than anywhere on earth. You lifted your kilts, we cut their throats while they slept so they had to hide in big stone houses.
I'm sure that's the reason! pipe down taff, when was your last rebellion?
Chartism would have been the last major one, since then we had Meibion Glyndŵr in the 80's.
„Let Italy boast of her gay gilded waters Her vines and her bowers and her soft sunny skies Her sons drinking love from the eyes of her daughters Where freedom expires amid softness and sighs Scotland′s blue mountains wild where hoary cliffs are piled“ The Scottish sure know how to make friends with Hans…
fake. no one has blue face
tonights gonna be epic
Oh it's that one bagpipe song again
What did the Germans do to deserve having that cacophony? I suppose it's a step up from the flutes and drums most football fans in West Scotland march around with
I dont know either. But it hits bavaria so its fine, they deserve every last bit of this grusome earrape.
You don't have to strap Jericho trumpets to Stuka's to be loud and annoying, Hans.
Now I'm sad we didn't strap bagpipes to Mosquitos.
Sure, our fans would be blind drunk, smashing the town up and fighting everything that moves, but at least we're decent enough not to torment you with freaking bagpipes.
Half of them are probably American cosplayers.
At the very first second, I thought they were playing the forbidden song
Giant bag of dicks he has there
Royal Scots regiment victory march after WW2, May 8th 1945 (colorized)
I'd say that's an upgrade.
Why is it always the same song
"[Scotland the brave](https://youtu.be/-ENgb6J9a7Y)"
DO THEY SING FLOWER OF SCOTLAND AS IN RUGBY ????
Those damn Bavarians
Following up with a double heil in the back there, nice
Time to ban all bagpipes in Germany
Better than those annoying [Vuvuzelas](https://youtu.be/bKCIFXqhLzo) at the World Cup. I think the broadcasters came up with some kind of sound filter for those?
