Is it only Germany or in other countries they also laugh at 'Polish wife as the best Polish export product'?

I've heard it here in the States as well.  Funny, and yet kinda sad.

Because they don't appreciate the fact that they would ALL be speaking GERMAN if it wasn't for us.\n\nThey should be licking our boots.\n\nOh wait....they already do. My bad.

The Polish have suffered and still suffer the most.  I am from a town with about 40% Polish, 40% Italian, 10% German, and the rest of us who were thought of as nothings.  The Italians owned the businesses and controlled about 90% of the wealth (the Germans the other 10%), while the Polish were constantly made fun of and made up the majority of the blue collar workers and menial laborers.

Lucky you!\nI had to realise that in Germany the boys just did not wear Lederhosen, when I asked a guy in Berlin, he insisted that the Lederhosen would only been worn in a small part of Germany called Bavaria and only for some festivities.\nHe really got upset, when I told him that 50 years ago all Germans were wearing Lederhosen all day long and that you can see it in all movies about Germany from that time.\nI tell you those Europeans are crazy and next time when I want to see the REAL Europe I will go to Florida, to the Epcos center.\n\nAnswer to your addition:\nI think fashion itself is more and more global, the leading fashion centers are Paris, Milano, Rome, Tokyo, New York and London.\nThere will be fashion trends that are initiated in any of the countries, sometimes in other places that make it around the world. From your view it lookes like Europeans dress American, from a European view it looks like Americans dress European. Your initial description sounds like a European is travelling to New York or Chicago and expecting everyone to be dressed like a cowboy or like Al Capone.\nJust look at the Brand Names you see all around: Chanel - french / Hugo Boss - German / Armani - Italian / Kenzo - Japan / Billabong - Australian / Stüssy - Austria / Tommy Hilfinger - US and so on ...\n\nIt's global, not american.

Poland did play very well against Germany. It's a funny thing the WC. Teams are out doing themselves and others are not playing at expected levels. Perhaps after Poland's disappointing first match, they were a little under estimated and their improvement may have shocked the German side a bit and made them a little panicky. I expected them to play a little better myself with the massive crowd support and home soil advantage, then again that is only a part of a teams psychology. I'm sure it was a wake up call though and they will be much improved in their next match.\n\nGood Luck to everyone and your team...Go Australia!!!

I think that Russians have the funniest English accent (hmm, those who do not speak it very well, not all of them, of course). It sound something like "Vot is ap, maaan"! For real

GB and the EU are a bunch of "joke" countries that "overreact" to America being all that and a bag of chips.  How's that?

My guess: every immigrant community goes through it, hence the Irish, the Polish etc. joke. They were different, they talked funny, acted funny, and so people manage fear/ lack of understanding with jokes. It's too simple to say that it's just racism and done by bad people. We in Eastern Europe, for example, have a whole lot of very painful, pointed jokes about ourselves. Bulgarians have some of the most vicious Bulgarian jokes around. Humor is a way to transmit very simplified cultural messages.

Yes they do expect some hooligans to cause minimal problems.\n\nThere is a big rift between Eastern European fans and Western European fans.  Each group supports their own nations and say that they are the better overall region in Europe for soccer.  Kinda like East vs West in the USA or North vs South.   \n\nI expect that both of these groups (for example, ones that support France, Spain and England and the ones that support Czech, Poland and Croatia) will be the most trouble.  Both groups will be very familiar with Germany being that it is in the middle of Europe.  The other supporters of other countries will be more worried with logistics, lodging etc. due to their lengths of travel.\n\nJust my thoughts...

It depeneds what is interesting for you:)\n-In Poland people wear wedding ring on the rigt hand\n-Goverment is silly ( it's hard to explain, you must live here to understand) and \n-Sallary is low, and a lot of people are looking for work abroad\n-They have wonderful sights and cities( Kraków rules:)\n-They are really easy-going\n-They drink a lot of voodka ( Polish voodka is really good;)\n-Now they don't steel cars(it's unreal stereotype), they buy them on the West

The Germans hated the Jews and used every political forum to show themselves for the jealous, poor, angry fools they were because Jews are smarter than them, and knew how to make money, when they couldn't. It's a shame Im 1/2 German, yet I can tell the truth, where a lot of Germans wont.

Deutschland ist Weltmeister! Oh, yeah!\nDon't want to brag. I am not even German. But it's time the guys brought home the dough. It would almost be a shame to loose on homeground ;-).
