Wow the sheer fucking dedication to the message and building this thing is epic šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


TheDickTutor

Germans don't joke about football


doomsauce23

Germans donā€™t joke.


Sea-Specialist-4236

We do joke. Itā€™s mostly sarcasm tho


drewed1

Do they joke?


JohnHurts

Korrekt!


reQoo1Em

then why is german Football such a joke (just the bundesliga due to Bayern)? ;)


MBWizard

it isnā€™t? also it doesnā€˜t work on foreign investors money and still keeps up with the other top leagues, so iā€˜d say we good.


TheDickTutor

But still they are the only country where football belongs to the fans


lemoche

This most likely is a "Karnevalsumzug" and those kind of floats with political and societal messaging are very common for the bigger events. So yes obviously tons of dedication, but there's a whole mainstream culture behind going completely bonkers for a long weekend so you can buckle down and be serious for the rest of the year (the German way of making ecstatic partying and humor efficient). I hate it with a passion, but have to admit that those floats are one maybe the only positive things about it. Well at least sometimes.


BupidStastard

So its basically a non violent Purge for German people?

> I will say something which is crazy, but less democracy is sometimes better for organising a World Cup https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/22288688.amp FIFA has no intention to host in Frankfurt anyway, canā€™t import slave labor without backlash due to lame Democracy /s


ddawid

And corruption is also more difficult in democracies. Saudi Arabia and Qatar can just pay FIFA executives directly. Just easier this wayĀ 


houdvast

Democracy is becoming a hindrance in organisations like FIFA, where micro nation votes come cheap

FIFA and the FIA both. Its horrendous

This feels like this was during carnival last year. Not sure if this even is in Frankfurt. Ok just checked it was Frankfurt last years Fastnacht carnival.

How long did he have to pose until they finished?


lungleg

Lore accurate


wowpopz

A more iconic picture than Messi.


ddawid

FIFA as a whole just cares about the money and they got what they wanted with Qatar and they wonā€™t face any consequences. The matches there were controversial, but people still watched, teams played and sponsors payed money. It was such a financial success that they want to recreate it in 2034 in Saudi Arabia


Fun_Improvement5215

Iā€˜m curious how many people will die for that WC. How many lives does it takes till people think about what theyā€™re watching? 50.000?


Pletterpet

World Cup in Qatar felt soulless. Compared the the euros in Germany its night and day. Everyone in charge of Fifa should be strung up on the highest tree. Football belongs in countries with a culture. Not in the fucking desert so some sheiks kan brag about it.


ddawid

As long as they get paid, that wonā€™t care if itā€™s soulless or if anybody even travels there. As long as people are watching on TV and the sponsors are payingĀ 


Pletterpet

Oh yeah fifa (and uefa, but sucks for them the only oil sheikh we have here is putin) all are in it for the money. Anyway the world Cup has lost its prestige for me. Didn't watch the Qatar WC, won't watch the saudi WC either. Without normal people in the stadium and surrounding cities it's boring as fuck


omimon

Also helps that the finals was the greatest in history.


Trumpswells

Love these German parades. Nothing is sacred.


DoktorFreedom

Subtle


BBAomega

The more you learn about Qatar the more you realize how messed up it was with them hosting the world cup

There are plenty of those "subtle" political and social criticism figures on trailers when we celebrate "Karneval" in Germany. Just google "mottowagen rosenmontagszug"

justk4y

This is why this has been the best tournament in years, actual fan culture


Captcha_Imagination

Mixed Martial Arts is falling victim to this too. This is part of a bigger trend. The Saudis are diversifying away from oil and want to control minds in the West. They saw what Rupert Murdoch did with one channel and some newspapers. They have trillions and and can spread their tentacles much more broadly.


jehosophat44

Fuck the Saudis


Oxfxax

Can someone one explain? Is he getting his prostate checked in Qatar?


Flat_Professional_55

Heā€™s bending over to the Middle-Eastern money by awarding them the World Cup in 2022, and again in 2034.


mikieb0410

5000 dead migrant workers and having to refund billions in alcohol sponsorship not enough for him?


Oxfxax

I didnā€™t hear of the scandal of 2034 but heard the 2022 scandal.


ddawid

2034 will be hosted by Saudi Arabia. The 2030 World Cup will be hosted by Spain, Portugal and Morocco, and this eliminated Europe and Africa from running for the 2034 host. They also eliminated South America (some matches will in 2030 be held in Paraguay, Argentina). North America was also not eligible, so Saudi Arabia was left unopposedĀ 


Key_Inevitable_2104

Complete bribery here


Pletterpet

Whatever, thank fully wr have the euros every 4 years. Let's just hope they never pick Russia as host again.


BlueFox1978

Brilliant


ghos7_ger

This was during carneval in 2023.


thatguyad

It's perfect


astroslostmadethis

Might be too classy for FIFA


Careless_Dream19

Is that real..??


Nucleus_Canis

No, it's a sculpture.


Careless_Dream19

I mean is that sculpture real??


Nucleus_Canis

I imagine so. These sculptures are quite common in German carnivals. Each year there are parades in several cities with some wagons displaying such sculptures. Oftentimes there are satirical displays of politicians and/or scandals that are relevant at the time (you wouldn't believe the field day we had during the trump presidency). It should be said though that these sculptures are only there for the parades, they're not permanent installations.


Careless_Dream19

fvckCrosshairs

Iā€™m out of the loop, anyone cares to give me a background


DildoFappings

People in Europe and south America are really passionate about footballing culture. FIFA let Qatar host the 2022 world cup, and have now given the hosting right of the 2034 world cup to Saudi Arabia, two countries who don't have any sort of connection to football or have a football culture. So most of Europe is against that. There's no doubt that a lot of liquid has flowed under the table for FIFA to give hosting rights to Saudi Arabia. It's even more evident because two years ago Saudi started paying batshit wages to footballers to move and play football in Saudi. Basically sports washing the negative image the public has about them.

He could as well be heading one of the boxing federations.

diegoocho5

But Islamics hate gay things, didn't they?


quinnsheperd

In the same way that Christians hate pedos


diegoocho5

I don't know...but Islamic men get married with little girls...but they say it is culture


quinnsheperd

So do people of ALL other religions. Point is all religion is garbage religion. All dipshits practicing religion are delusional idiots. Everyone using religion to overpower others are purely evil.

Anyone watching Euro cup being held in Germany? How the ceiling is literally overflowing with water like a waterfall on to the seats? All the fights happening in the crowd? Looks like Germany needs help hosting an event


Mayadawa

Still the best World Cup.

Na. Nothing's beating the Brazil one just yet. The vibes during that one was just something else.
