Euro 2024: Germany, the host nation, hopes that football will revive positive energy on and off the field after a difficult period as a team and a nation.
The nation aspires for a replication of the unforgettable 2006 experience, despite the fact that European powerhouses have lost early in the last several big tournaments and the economy has been struggling recently.
As Germany sneaked past Greece on Sunday, a thousand joyful banners waving the same message in a thousand various colors and handwritings; a thousand pairs of vocal cords heaving the same message, like a hymn, at the Borussia Park.
Here with the new summertime rhymes. This Friday night, when Germany hosts the European Championship, it can be translated as "bring on the new summer fairytale." It's a reference to the thrilling football they played to reach the semifinals of the 2006 World Cup, which dispelled stereotypes of a divided and antagonistic nation and set the stage for their eventual eight-year victory. Over time, the name "Sommermärchen" came to symbolize better times and gained unique meaning in the minds of the people of the nation.
