'Little Germany' in Karachi
By Shazia Hasan
Updated about 11 hours ago

Not Lyari, Malir or Ibrahim Hyderi. This time it was the German Consulate in Clifton, Karachi, that was the place to be for the screening of the FIFA World Cup-2014 final between Germany and Argentina.

Obviously, the crowd mostly clad in the new white jerseys or the older red and black ones, waving small red, black and gold flags with smaller versions of the same painted on their cheeks was all for Germany. There were a few ' ohhhs' and 'awws' and many chuckles when they showed close ups of worried or crying Argentina fans on the big screen in the courtyard. There were claps and cheering for Germany throughout.

There was some friendly betting going on, too, but not on either of the teams' victory or loss. The bets were placed on how many goals Germany would beat Argentina with! Even the security guards outside the consulate were sure that Germany would win.

“They [Argentina] have one player Messi. We have a united 'team',” commented Sebastian Fletz, one of the guests at the consulate, before kickoff.

And the match supported his views. TEAM is an acronym meaning 'Together Everyone Achieves More'. One Messi couldn't do for his team what the united team did for each proud German by lifting the 18-carat gold 36.8cm high World Cup.

Depends on you.

Were you supporting Argentina?

I think "Happy" is what you should have asked-
Germans shall feel proud for what Germans achieved-

There was a mass gathering outside a mall in saudi arabia majority of people were supporting Almania- dont see that helping Saudi Arabia or mattering a bit-
 

a part of the the funds that diplomatic missions have is for outreach , embassies and consulates will invite people from the host countries that can be of some benefit to them in terms of accesses to information or to enable influence

Here are some Pakistani Journalists at a similar event arranged by the US embassy

You have no idea how much Germany is poking its nose in KPK and FATA

Nothing like the level of competency uncle sam has achieved in this regard to achieve the goals there.

Moreover second hand information can be a disinformation.
Even after saying that,one can't vouch on the "Iman" of these Pakistani journalists, the middle men or ma'ams.

Still those were the old days, now the Germans are more concerned about themselves being spied upon by their partner in crime i-e USA. Germans are their allies and have agreements with them regarding espionage.But still it couldn't stop America to not meddle in their affairs or spy on them.

On-topic: Alright, it was very much expected on a German consulate.My fellow Pakistanis were able to watch a fine game of football that too on the big screen (some of them may be for the first time), so, i'm happy for them.

:lol: Pretty loyal opinion by the guards, wanting the inmates of the house to win the game.Loved this one for some reason.
