The first 4 Munich FIFA Worldcup 2006 games are settled

This evening I watched the Final draw TV show for the FIFA soccer worldcup 2006 Germany . I have never seen Heidi Klum looking so usual? But what is more interesting:
1. Its an easy group for the German team with Poland, Costa Rica and Ecuador and
2. These are the games in Munich in the preliminary round:


The preliminary round soccer games in Munich

June 9 2006
Germany – Costa Rica

June 14 2006
Tunisia–Saudi Arabia

June 18 2006
Brazil-Australia

June 21 2006
Cote d’Ivoire-Serbia and Montenegro

Although I have lost already in the first drawing lottery probably more luck now:
The third sales phase for tickets for the 2006 FIFA World Cup starts on December 12, 2005, at 12 noon (CET). Approximately 300,000 tickets are expected to be available. The ticketing area at www.FIFAworldcup.com containing the order form will re-open at midday. Applications will be accepted until 15 January 2006. The ballot procedure used to allocate tickets in the first sales phase will in all likelihood be repeated. The order in which applications are received has no bearing on an applicant’s chances of success in the ballot.Further information soon on www.fifaworlcup.com

The Pope is German...

…………………and me now too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Horray … I am a german “Kraut” (1) now. Horray!!!!!!
Sono “Crucco” (2) finalmente!

For my memoirs: On December 3rd 2005 I received the German citizenship.

For me this is a big and nice thing. Since my birth I am living as Italian (son of emigrants) in Germany. I still remember how I was called a “Spaghetti” (3) in primary school and felt ashamed to be different,… not to be German …

(1),(2),(3) for explanation I found this very useful list of Offensive terms sorted by nationality

Of course soon things changed when we got history lessons in middle school, and then I no longer wanted to be German. But growing up and paying so many taxes here the wish to get acceptance by having the german nationality still lurked. I didn’t apply for it, because I would have had to abandon my Italian citizenship.

Beginning of this year, the ultra-conservative bavarian government approved a law which allows the double citizenship under certain conditions. (In other parts of Germany the law was valid already for quite a while.) After hearing this I immediately applied for naturalization. Yesterday I received a letter with congratulation: I was accepted.

My nationality now: Italo-German-European.

Unfortunately too late for the German elections which took place 18th of September 2005.

I am sure with my vote the unlucky “Grand coalition” of the two major german parties, could have been prevented. I could have made the difference, … so I just say: “Germany take the consequences now”.
