In case you thought I was exaggerating with the swastika, check this out! Other than that, I should probably mention that I’m not a football fan [sorry guys!] but well, I always end up watching few games for the World Cup and I usually support Spain! 😀 Here’s a song for you, someone got me listening to The Beatles: Strawberry Fields Forever. Have a great week 🙂

    You hit the spot: Lebanese look for any opportunity to divide themselves into categories and see who’s with who, who’s best, etc.

    Now, the “adopt a team” thing is seen in a lot of countries during the World Cup, but over here the enthusiasm is just… well, it’s a bit much.

    As for football itself, I don’t care for it, although I might watch a bit of a match – it can indeed get exciting.

      I know! It’s terrible. But it’s actually done in some areas of Leb, can you imagine? I mentioned that at the end of the post: http://chroniquesbeyrouthines.20minutes-blogs.fr/archive/2010/05/05/heil-lebanon.html

        Again, Maya, I think it a shame that you have to find yourself being apologetic upon every turn in which you mention Nazism. Nazism happened, and it continues to infatuate some Lebanese just as it does people all around the world, and those are facts regardless of our value judgement on them. We are so brain-washed on this issue that it makes me begin to question the liberalism of our thinking.

        well Maya the swastika is actually considered as an insult to the Germans and a lot may not like it. ans apologizing while mentioning Nazism is a way of respecting the German’s majority that are against it.
        but after all this is Lebanon and i think it is a shame that we don’t know what or who to follow or support…
        and being liberal in your thinking doesn’t mean you have to insult others in such sensitive issues.
        way to go Maya in the way u are approaching the issues.

    @Ahmad: I totally absolutely agree with you. Which is also why I added that flag. I even received more “questioning” regarding the Swastika despite the explanation at the end off the blog Brainwashed is the word! Take care 🙂

    I was just talking to a friend of mine about “strawberry fields forever” i love that song!! one of my favorite beatle songs. Also I’m sure you’ve seen the manakeesh that are designed according to the flags… i thought that was gross. Personally not a fan of football, so the craze is kind of driving me nuts 😛
