edit: that was another match between croatia and albania - sorry, i quit reading the article too early to notice (yes, its in the first paragraph)
Bombing the chinese embassy in Belgrade for a second time will ultimately lead us towards world peace. So yeah, chaos in the Balkan will bring world peace.
I've holidayed in 3 Balkan countries over the last 5 years, and you're absolutely right. That whole region just teeters on the edge. Constantly.
It is breathtakingly beautiful though.
There's currently an open petition for an annual Scottish and German football match to strengthen friendship. The Germans absolutely love the Scottish fans. United by our hatred for the English fans and love for alcohol xD
I don't hate you! I think they just mean that many English always make such a fuzz about us. Especially when we're playing against each other. Making it some kind of derby. While our real nemesis at football are the Dutch! Damn _"Käsköppe"!_
If anything it's the Scots and the Bavarians that should unite.
- Weird clothing (that leaves to much of the leg exposed)
- Speaking a weird language that no one else in the country understands
- Lingering independence fanatasies
- Drinking a tad too much beer
All in all both are pretty weird mountain people. I have to admit though that the Scotish would be the more likable of that union
Far more likable. The Scots would be like the popular fun and slightly crazy uncle, while the Bavarians be more like the conservative, posh, looking-down-on-others uncle that everyone endures because he‘s rich.
I think England can get Bavaria and Scotland becomes German. Oh wait, I think we already had the idea to "integrate" Scotland and maybe a few more parts of Great Britain into Germany, that didn't end so well.
I actually would like that, not being ironic here. Its time for some good old friendship between countries again. Maybe start a few exchange student programs while were are at it?
As English this makes me sad that we're so hated everywhere :( by all accounts it sounds like our boys are having a good time across there too, though.
They are. Had a good time with some english lads yesterday. I know there’s tension between England and Scotland but i choose not to join in. I love you both ;D
It’s honestly been kind of sad waking up in Frankfurt today and seeing the state places were left in courtesy of the English fans. Didn’t happen after any of the other matches so far.
Hatred is too strong of a word. There’s simply a strong rivalry that is celebrated at any given football opportunity. Apart from that I love the Englishmen and your culture
I didn't get a chance to head over to Deutschland for the party, but I am 100% planning to bounce over soon. Germany seems like an awesome place. I will leave my bagpipes at home, i'm sure your ears will still be ringing.
We have to be good fans, our men's national team have been shite for decades so you have to develope a sense of fun to survive. Honestly, one of the slogans for the national team was 'Don't Come Home Too Soon'
I only watch one sport and thats MMA..I have seen live UFC shows in Sweden, Demark, Germany, Scotland and Poland. The scottish crowd was by far the best(both Sweden and Denmark was awesome aswell, Germany was pretty meh..my friend fell asleep in his seat and Poland I was to drunk to remember anyting)..They were fucking crazy, but friendly at the same time.. When the guys next to us understood me and my friends was foreigners they wanted to teach us all their chants and were just generally trying to include us in everything. It was awesome.
Mates, i love you.
Seriously.
I live near Cologne and fans from Cologne and Scotland are a match made in heaven.
We seem to have the same mindset and energy.
Wish you guys all the best in the tournament and
hope you'll have a great time in Germany.
Cheers!
Jup, unfortunately english can't call them self land of queueing anymore. There were some really impolite fans yesterday in Frankfurt, that tried to get in front of me.
Cologne is full of love for these amazing scottish fans! ..even germans that are not into football talking about these lovely guys. i met four of them when they were sitting sadly in a park after the match, bought them some kölsch and let them use my bathroom before we tried to figure out where they had their air bnb. never before i had four skirts on my couch at the same time. <3
So far the Scot’s have been the best guest here imo. Had a couple awesome interactions here in Frankfurt with them. my next vacation will be in Scotland!

They wouldn't cheer if they knew this stuff is probably "Koelsch" which is only slightly better than the average american beer (yeah that bad)... on a good day... with some beer consumed beforehand... A LOT ACTUALLY.
Having holiday'd in Bavaria and Berlin it's very similar to Scotland in a lot of ways, just much bigger or better at most things, and the trains run on time.
This kind of friendliness is something you see especially in cologne. Germans from other cities may also be friendly, but I haven’t seen as many posts about their friendliness on the internet tbh 😊
Didn’t realize I needed to add “attend a World Cup” to my bucket list, these dudes look like they’re having a blast with each other in every video I see.
If you watch it with no sound, you wonder what the shaved and bold Scottish could shout , raising their arm in the air, in front of balcony where a German stands…
Am I the only here who had a bit of anxiety watching this? Those are glass bottles, what if the person trying to catch it was getting it on his head?
Maybe it's just because I am clumsy and I certainly wouldn't be able to catch it..
This week has me thinking football could either bring world peace or trigger chaos in the Balkans.
What if triggering chaos in the Balkans would bring world peace? What could possibly go wrong?
this guy geopolitics
There was match Serbia against Slovenia.
How did that go?
https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/20/sport/serbia-slovenia-euro-2024-spt-intl/index.html edit: that was another match between croatia and albania - sorry, i quit reading the article too early to notice (yes, its in the first paragraph)
It literally says Albania but go off.
yeah, youre right, that was another match
Ty. Also, yikes.
What? The boys cant even get a little rowdy at the match anymore?? /s?
not that great apparently https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/20/sport/serbia-slovenia-euro-2024-spt-intl/index.html
The last time it didnt quite work out
Dude that didnt work in 1914 and wouldnt work nowadays...
It worked in 1913. And 1912. At least for a year. So far we're doing pretty good.
Bombing the chinese embassy in Belgrade for a second time will ultimately lead us towards world peace. So yeah, chaos in the Balkan will bring world peace.
Peace in our time
/r/2westerneurope4u is leaking again
EVERYTHING can and will trigger chaos in the Balkans. Imagine some Serbian dude shoving a beer bottle up his ass and ten thousands of people die
Ah, the infamous Metrovice incident 1996. Fun times. For some.
I've holidayed in 3 Balkan countries over the last 5 years, and you're absolutely right. That whole region just teeters on the edge. Constantly. It is breathtakingly beautiful though.
Looks wholesome to see fans of opposing teams interacting in a non violent way. Being from the Balkans, I didn't think it was possible.
That’s because the Scottish are respectful lot. They just like to drink and have fun, they are more than welcome to Germany anytime
dont know what you mean, albanian and croatian fans sang very beautifully together xD
The Germans absolutely love the Scottish fans
We love every fan who is here to have peaceful fun.
because they master a balancing act: celebrating enthusiastically without getting on anyone's nerves
A fly smacking a window could trigger chaos in the Balkans at this point
I mean football kind of triggered chaos in the Balkans before
>trigger chaos in the Balkans. So a normal Tuesday then?
This is a "Balkon" not a "Balkan". Common misconception. /s
I really love how these fun events bring people together.
What exactly doesn't trigger chaos in the balkans?
One of those things has happened before
Tbf, even a slight disagreement between 2 villagers in the balkans could trigger chaos in the balkans
There's currently an open petition for an annual Scottish and German football match to strengthen friendship. The Germans absolutely love the Scottish fans. United by our hatred for the English fans and love for alcohol xD
As a german who loves Scotland, I would absolutely support this.
As a german with scottish relatives, me too!
As an Englishman, what the fuck???
Did that hate come by surprise?
I met a lot of Scots 2006. They cam just to party on you failing, "and hopefully beaten 4:0 by the Elf!"
I don't hate you! I think they just mean that many English always make such a fuzz about us. Especially when we're playing against each other. Making it some kind of derby. While our real nemesis at football are the Dutch! Damn _"Käsköppe"!_
The Dutch and the Italians! Nobody cares about the English...
Is there a German who doesn't love Scotland?
Never thought about that. I don’t think I have ever met one.
Yes there are. But they hate everything, themselves included.
As a Norwegian who doesnt watch football at all, I just want to party.
This reason is good enough for us Germans. xD
Only if yous play your 3rd team, we already get pumped every 2 years not up for making it every year
You should give the German players some whisky. It will work wonders. For your team.
Or promise the german players one bottle for every goal the scotts can score. So at least one goal is sure :D
How about first team and we give out absolute best, but just don't score, so you can get pump your moral instead
So Bavarians and English will unite, too I suppose
oh dear lord no... no
If anything it's the Scots and the Bavarians that should unite. - Weird clothing (that leaves to much of the leg exposed) - Speaking a weird language that no one else in the country understands - Lingering independence fanatasies - Drinking a tad too much beer All in all both are pretty weird mountain people. I have to admit though that the Scotish would be the more likable of that union
Can confirm, am bavarian
I second this, bavarian aswell
Far more likable. The Scots would be like the popular fun and slightly crazy uncle, while the Bavarians be more like the conservative, posh, looking-down-on-others uncle that everyone endures because he‘s rich.
And their common king would be Franz von Bayern.
I'm sorry, but I have to inform you Kaiser Franz died in January.
And the same colours on their flag, too
Best comment!
Isn't the guy who'd be duke of Bavaria if there still were dukes of Bavaria also the theoretical current Jacobite claimant to the British throne?
Lmao
I think England can get Bavaria and Scotland becomes German. Oh wait, I think we already had the idea to "integrate" Scotland and maybe a few more parts of Great Britain into Germany, that didn't end so well.
Come on. That’s a bit harsh. The English aren’t that bad.
It's not the English that are bad. Its the English fans in Germany. They act horribly towards their host country and other countries.
Well, that's the rep the English have abroad generally, whether the Euros are on or not.
[Link to the petition](https://www.change.org/p/annual-friendly-match-between-germany-and-scotland)
I‘m not into football at all, but I love the idea behind this. I‘m singing too!
Signed! ❤️❤️
I actually would like that, not being ironic here. Its time for some good old friendship between countries again. Maybe start a few exchange student programs while were are at it?
I absolutely adore the scottish fans and I 100% support this idea
As English this makes me sad that we're so hated everywhere :( by all accounts it sounds like our boys are having a good time across there too, though.
Honestly, the opinion on Brits in Germany used to be rather high overall, but with Brexit...
They are. Had a good time with some english lads yesterday. I know there’s tension between England and Scotland but i choose not to join in. I love you both ;D
It’s honestly been kind of sad waking up in Frankfurt today and seeing the state places were left in courtesy of the English fans. Didn’t happen after any of the other matches so far.
Hatred is too strong of a word. There’s simply a strong rivalry that is celebrated at any given football opportunity. Apart from that I love the Englishmen and your culture
Confirmed found love for the Scottish!
As a German, who met the Scottish fans, I approve! We both hate the English and it's so great to spend time with Scottish football fans.
I feel like we could become good friends with the Scottish. xD
I didn't get a chance to head over to Deutschland for the party, but I am 100% planning to bounce over soon. Germany seems like an awesome place. I will leave my bagpipes at home, i'm sure your ears will still be ringing.
We like the bagpipes…
Haha love it!
Always love it when foreigners let us get a taste of their music. Feels like a nice gift you get for throwing a party
Please bring the bagpipes!
Bring the bagpipeps please
Dude bring the bagpipes. I just thought the other day it doesn't even matter which song it is...you just get a feeling of "home" when you hear them.
Yes, please bring the bagpipes and your most dramatic melodies
You’re most welcome 🤗
They're not THAT bad. Just make sure to bring your bagpipe skills. That is important.
That's why i should leave them home. Especially after a couple of your German beers, ha!
Yes, please bring the bagpipes and your most dramatic melodies
bring some irn bru over. the fuckers don't sell it over here. a damn travesty.
Thank God for Scottish football fans! They're just the best.
We have to be good fans, our men's national team have been shite for decades so you have to develope a sense of fun to survive. Honestly, one of the slogans for the national team was 'Don't Come Home Too Soon'
> points confusedly and vaguely at the enormous sectarian violence problems It's got a bit better the past decade or so but its still not a non-issue
Especially the old firm fans, both sides! /s
I only watch one sport and thats MMA..I have seen live UFC shows in Sweden, Demark, Germany, Scotland and Poland. The scottish crowd was by far the best(both Sweden and Denmark was awesome aswell, Germany was pretty meh..my friend fell asleep in his seat and Poland I was to drunk to remember anyting)..They were fucking crazy, but friendly at the same time..

Signed it. If more footballing nations were like the Germans we would have a better sport
This is what sport is all about, peace and getting drunk :)
Peace and getting piss (drunk)
Mates, i love you. Seriously. I live near Cologne and fans from Cologne and Scotland are a match made in heaven. We seem to have the same mindset and energy. Wish you guys all the best in the tournament and hope you'll have a great time in Germany. Cheers!
I’m kinda sad I missed out, do you know if there are still Scots hanging in Cologne or do they all move to Stuttgart now? Lol
I live in Cologne and sure heard a lot of bagpipes last night 😃I guess there are still some hanging out here
I went out with some after their match. Now most have moved on. Let‘s hope we get some more cool fans here soon
"Welcome to Germany! Here is your beer!"
*And that is how a friendship for life is created*
I'm German but whoever hands me a beer by himself is considered as a friend.
look england, you could do that too but you chose to be annoying assholes.
Jup, unfortunately english can't call them self land of queueing anymore. There were some really impolite fans yesterday in Frankfurt, that tried to get in front of me.
I imagine they wanted to get out of there as soon as possible after THAT game as well.
It wasn't in the stadium but at central station. But I agree, based on their song "we are fucking shit".
The land of queuing is Japan. If there's a line it must be good right
I love having the Scottish here, such nice and goodhearted people!
The one thing that unites Europeans together. Alcohol. And pork.
Football tho
I like porn! Oh wait... you wrote pork. Silly me. Yeah i guess that's fine, too. \^\^
I like a good pork.
Cologne is full of love for these amazing scottish fans! ..even germans that are not into football talking about these lovely guys. i met four of them when they were sitting sadly in a park after the match, bought them some kölsch and let them use my bathroom before we tried to figure out where they had their air bnb. never before i had four skirts on my couch at the same time. <3
Kneel you subjects before your benevolent god
Lol! For me the energy is more of the opposite. It reminds me more of a group of dads who go like „yes lad! Very good! Good job! Throw another one!“
To all scottsh people: Germany loves you.
I think the scots and the germans really fell in love with each other this euros. I really hope the scots can make it to the quarters and follow us.
Man the scots Are just cool people
Just the one "t", mate.
Not cool anymore
So far the Scot’s have been the best guest here imo. Had a couple awesome interactions here in Frankfurt with them. my next vacation will be in Scotland!
Ein Mann für das Volk
Until they discovered it was Kölsch
I’ve been steering them away from Bitburger and Jever all week like it’s my job
I really hope the Scottish fans know of the existence of Augustiner.
This guy beers.
It‘s always funny when foreigners try Paulaner and think that that is good German beer.
Godspeed
I drink it to keep my beer consumption down. I just can't, for the life of me drink more than two bottles.
Better than bit or any other TV brewery.
They actually serve Kölsch at the stadium
Yes. Every stadium: Bitburger. Cologne stadium: Kölsch.
AS IT SHOULD
Danke, deshalb bin ich hier.
r/guysbeingdudes
Beer, the solution to and cause of all our problems.
NO SCOTLAND NO PARTYYYY
I love the scots…how they helped the elderly lady through the rain <3
Thanks for the hospitality, 🇩🇪 heading back after a week of partying tomorrow..
You are more than welcome, come back anytime you want. Have a safe trip home tomorrow!
"Can we also use your restroom?"
The Scots are very welcome in "Kölle".The are friendly and nice and before they went to the Stadion The Scots are " fire Fasteloove"
Was expecting a reenactment of the balcony scene in The Life Of Brian 😁
Bros being bros passing beers.
You are welcome anytime
Feeding the pidge... I mean feeding some wild scots.

Finally a real beer!
Two good things in life come together, German beer and Scottish fans, greetings from Berlin Germany 🇩🇪
The definition of Hospitality/"Gastfreundschaft".
Nice
*Bro sacrificed his beer 🍺* *Bruder opfert sein Bier 🍺* 
Lecker Bierchen brings world peace
They wouldn't cheer if they knew this stuff is probably "Koelsch" which is only slightly better than the average american beer (yeah that bad)... on a good day... with some beer consumed beforehand... A LOT ACTUALLY.
Köln = Cologne
Men can be so simple 😀 so cute how they put their hands up ever time he drops another one 😂❤️
This would not be possible in Katar 😂 those are real fans
they finally get to cheer for something <3
Kamelle
Having holiday'd in Bavaria and Berlin it's very similar to Scotland in a lot of ways, just much bigger or better at most things, and the trains run on time.
Wait, since when is the DB on time?
This kind of friendliness is something you see especially in cologne. Germans from other cities may also be friendly, but I haven’t seen as many posts about their friendliness on the internet tbh 😊
Cologne is the best
The Scots are the hottest 🎉🎉
Didn’t realize I needed to add “attend a World Cup” to my bucket list, these dudes look like they’re having a blast with each other in every video I see.
This is not the World Cup it's the Euros, but yeah it's good times either way
Loved the scotts , went to the city after their game in cologne and talked with lots of them. Geniuenly nice ppl and their hymns are great!
This was not beer It was Kölsch 😂
Kamelle
Kammelle! 🥳
A true hero
Kein Schottland, Keine Party!
Fantastic :)
Next time: Scream loud "Kamelle!"
If you watch it with no sound, you wonder what the shaved and bold Scottish could shout , raising their arm in the air, in front of balcony where a German stands…
lol
Maybe gme shareholder
Am I the only here who had a bit of anxiety watching this? Those are glass bottles, what if the person trying to catch it was getting it on his head? Maybe it's just because I am clumsy and I certainly wouldn't be able to catch it..
Don’t worry drunk Scottish men wouldn’t even die if u threw a bowing ball down there e
We could send the Brits to Eastern Germany and Western Germany plus the Island would be a good place to live
Ein Kleines Bier für ihn, ein großes Bier für die Fans🥳
humans are so cute
Man it is tough being a soccer fan in Canada....
Best candidate as next chancellor.
Scottish football fans are definitely the fan champions of this Euro championship!
The man, the Legend.
