I’m not usually one for sports, but there’s something truly magical about Berlin when Germany plays. The excitement and tension that fills the city is not only palpable but also infectious. Every waiter and waitress pause what they’re doing to check the score, every moan from the crowd is felt whole-heartedly as communal suffering, but when Germany (or whatever team you support) scores, a glorious wave of serotonin washes over the city. Whether you’re routing on your favorite team, admiring the sexy players (and commenting on how homoerotic the whole ordeal is), or just in it for the atmosphere and big beers, we’ve compiled this list of five of our favorite spots to watch the Euros.

The whole city, no, the entire world, is abuzz with the world football championchip, or WM as we like to call it, that starts today. Ironically, Claudio, Devid and myself don’t really care about football, but we know that some of you might do. So we didn’t really want to let you down and assembled the best places for public viewings in Berlin in our little Football WM Screening Guide. We hope one or more of these places will be the right one for you! Enjoy an exciting football season!

Also, you’ll see writers in a death match, you can celebrate the Midsommar (or the Fête de la Musique), have a look at the New Order exhibition or go into a war with your cardboard sword. Our events recommendations after the jump.

The whole country is in the EM fever and this time the football madness doesn’t even make an exceptions for those who are normally not very interested in the game. We are of course also effected by the fever. Coca Cola was so kind as to invite us to their special public screening area at Brandenburger Tor for the Germany:Portugal game on Saturday. While the masses of fans were going crazy with their flags, balloons, colorful make-up and big wigs we enjoyed the game with Coke and Würstchen. Some impressions from the massive public viewing after the jump.

So, the city is in a frenzy about the Football World Cup. I couldn’t give a flying rats ass about this. But you sort of can’t avoid it. Everywhere you walk you’ll pass by one flat screen after the other so you will hardly miss a second of any game. As I seem to be one of very few people who do not care about this, I won’t withhold some nice recommendations for public/private viewings of the WM for those who care. Look for infos after the jump.
And while most most straight men actually really concentrate on the game, the girls and the gays might have some other reasons to watch the games. Here for example they are putting together the perfect team consisting of 11 handsome (mostly naked) men from all over the world. The winner get’s a photobook with naked men and footballs. How fun.
