I watched the game in Kreuzberg, a part of Berlin mostly inhabited by Turkish and it was just amazing. The Turkish supported the Germans and likewise. The streets were packed with cheering people (from both sides) after the game. Just great! In would have loved to see Turkey vs. Germany in the finals. What a great game it would have been. Congratulations to the Turksih for a fighting so hard!!!!

I cannot tell you what the spirit in Berlin was like this evening - all Turkey's goals were enthusiastically applauded by the audience in a restaurant where I watched the game - indeed cheered. Spontaneous applause.

The fireworks and the car horn blowing continue now. I am cheering with the Germans, with no reason to do so other than living here and having seen an absence of loutishness and xenophobia in coming to this point.

I want Germany to win - if only for the party on Sunday night ;)

Hi juti!

I watched it in Neukölln (Ä), we too had a great communal atmosphere between both sets of fans.

Just returned from Kurfürstendam street here in Berlin - a big party for any of the teams.

I liked the pictures of the German players comforting Hamit. Nuff said.

This is so funny!

Hello football experts! I'm just a humble person who doesn't know much about football. I just thought that the 3 (three) german goals looked very nice, especially number 1 and 3. The 2 turkish goals could have been saved by Lehmann who didn't have a very good day yesterday, to put it mildly.
