Quick tidbit to start the day

On the hit list of Yahoo's news teasers, I see that English soccer fans are being urged by the Foreign Office to chant football songs in German at the World Cup.

As the wife of a transplanted Brit, who would have Fox Sports Network's coverage of Premiereship soccer on 24/7 if he could, I know what will happen. I will come home to find him laughing hysterically on the floor upon hearing this news, waving a flag erected out of his Chelsea football shirt.

I concur with the British Foreign Office. Since british football (sic) fan behaviour (sic), as sporting as it is, is not already notorious to 1% of host country's population, the UK's Foreign Office should definitely educate its subjects so that they could be free to dress down the Germans in their native tongue.
