These Average German videos look like they are fun to make, and whenever I see a new one pop up I know I’m going to have a bit of fun watching. 👍
Thank you! That’s very kind 😁 are there any topics you’d like us to cover?
@@dweuromaxx Perhaps the Average German and climate change, whether they believe it’s true, what they are willing to do personally to combat it, what they think the German government should do, etc? Not inherently a humorous subject, but you seem adept at injecting a bit of humor into any subject!
The Average German videos are brilliant. I like the omnipotent ghost narrator (Clare) and how Michael can never find it. The last line of the video of how it feels to support England is too close to heart. Also, Clare’s Adidas shoes are so cute. Keep up the great work, team
Thank you! We love you ⚽️💗
Indeed, great job by DW team.
Schalke stadium fries are my favorite in all of Germany.
love these fun episodes. did I missed an episode, what's with the half shaved facial hair or was it part of the football fan culture?
"Guess their learning what it's like to be an England supporter". Cruel but funny!
thanks for another good one! how does Michael cope with Weltschmerz , if he ever gets it??
Go Germany 2024 from India🇮🇳
Really enjoyed this video and the tone with which it was delivered. Question from Canada. It looks like every country, in Europe, has football leagues that have a few teams that will ever win their championship. Does this not get boring? Can you do a video on football team ownership in Germany, DW?
Hi from Germany. It doesnt really as there is competition for getting into European championships and for some clubs not going to the second league. Love it every year ❤
It is not about winning only. It is also about reaching the Champions and Europa league and avoiding relegation to the 2nd league. Every country has also a Cup tournament besides the league that is less dominated by the big clubs. Teams in Germany dont have owners, they are clubs owned by their members.
Yes, it DOES get more and more boring. Thanks to the big amounts of money from the UEFA Champions' League the big teams of the different countries become more and more dominant. So there is almost no diversity in becoming national champions anymore. For example in Germany, it was Bayern Munich who was 11 times champion in a row before FINALLY Bayer 04 Leverkusen managed its first win ever this year. I think almost every other club celebrated this as if it was its own win.
Hold up. Its illegal to push that thing the car comes with? (The horn.)
Illegal when not for necessary purposes, yes! So beeping through the street to celebrate is technically illegal 😝⚽️
Vielen Dank! 👍💚
Thanx a lot! 👍💚
Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn-Sportpark und Tante Käthe. Klasse.
Great, as always.
Maybe next time about an average german going shopping (in a supermarket)? I want to know the average checkout speed or even the record, if there is any 😅
Are you psychic? Because we have a treat coming up for you 🛍️🛒
@@dweuromaxx Ah, great, looking forward :)
Hate to be a nitpick but you mispronounced Leverkusen. It actually sounds more like "never-lose-en".
🤣🤣🤣⚽️
Nationalism and patriotism are not quite the same! The average German can be patriotic on occasion - without being nationalistic, at least that's the way I would put it.
As a German I hate football and everything that has something to do with it especially the FIFA 😅
Then we wish you a pleasant Euros 🤣
@@dweuromaxx Thanks a lot I need it! 😅
What happened to MIchael Müller's love interest? Did it fizzle out?
His beloved Julia is still very much in the picture. Wedding episode? 💍👰♀️
@@dweuromaxx So fast? No double date? No drama? No tour in Mallorca? How can he move so fast?
Like 👍 your videos are good 👍 go Germany 🇩🇪 🤩👍

It's called FOOTBALL, for Heaven's sake!
Is that people allowed to wear Manchester United Jersey in Germany? Our friendly ghost is wearing it. 🤣
Wolfgang Petry am Einlass 😮!
Blau&Weiß ein Leben lang ⚒️Glück auf 🩵🤍💙
DW, it's "football", even in English.
You forgot to mention „Public Viewing“😅
The classic 😁
teamviewer???
Teamviewer sponsors Manchester United, for example.

Football!
It's football!
Kinda creepy this "average German" has the same last name as my 5th great grandma, Rosina Müller from Würtemburg, Germany. Totally normal except that I was born and live in Washington, USA.
I am half German tho.
It's an unhealthy amount of deovtion to a club.. and beer, basically. So same as in most other european countries.
Stadium culture is kinda cool though😎
And the reason for our special relationship with football is the same reason for any German behavior. The war.
I LIKE HER🏔️⚽
I really like your average german videos but whyyyyyy the flag fauxpas? Its upside down 👀😵💫 2:39
And again?????? On Michaels face? Are you serious right now? 3:57
Come on you can do way better. Thats really disappointing 😑😑
Not gonna lie, it feels like rage bait. 😑
Sorry about that!
Hallelujah!!! I’m favored and blessed with $60,000 every week! Now I can afford anything and also support the work of God and the church.
Oh really? Tell me more!
This is what Ana Graciela Blackwelder does, she has changed my life.
After raising up to 60k trading with her, I bought a new house and car here in the US and also paid for my son’s (Oscar) surgery. Glory to God.shalom.
I know Ana Graciela Blackwelder, and I have also had success...
Absolutely! I have heard stories of people who started with little or no knowledge but managed to emerge victorious thanks to Ana Graciela Blackwelder.
I am a Taiwanese who has been in English for 29 years. I am afraid in Taiwan, football is not a very popular sport. I am still hopeful that one day we can qualify for the next World Cup.
United? Seriously?
Clare says she got the jersey because she likes the colour
@@dweuromaxx lol The only thing to like about this club ;) Thank you for the interesting video btw
The Average German and Their Special Relationship with Football 1407PM 22.6.24 SO SPECIAL...? I NEVER WANTED TO BE SPECIAL. IT DENOTES BEING LESS THAN A FULL SHILLING and/or mentally defunkt. i don't like to share. they never liked to share with me, simple. but....football. excellent!! they like a beer and like a game so they, the europeans, can't be all that bad. p.s i just went to get my mother some printer ink and walking over the road to the bus station i thought: yeah, i could do with one, with a pint (or ten!!)... jeeeez....not out of some overt need or desire to sate the latent alcholic but coz.... on days such as these... and on nights such as those. yeah, germans would understand....
I'm German and have zero interest in football and everything that goes with it.
Well Clare, I know it's politically incorrect to mention it, but you definitely have one cute belly button! 👍👍👍
Haha, thanks Patrick 😅⚽️
