Default Lost in translation...no, Manchester for EURO 2008

Hey,
I am a german living in the UK. I have just moved from Brighton to Manchester (don't talk about the weather!). In opposite to down south I find it pretty hard here to meet some people. Especially where are all the football fans hiding and watching the EURO ???
Is there anybody out there who is going crazy about that as well?
Semifinals are coming up and still havent found a good spot to watch!
HELP !

It could be due to the fact that neither England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland are at Euro 2008.....................................

Come to Argentina - everybody is watching it here.....................

ODDBALL: Thanks mate, how considerate.
Well, believe me, I am coping very well here, so I AM living with it. Regarding your little message that I should have stayed in Germany and should go back there, let me tell you something:
1) I dont need to go back there as I don't think I will turn as miserable as you here
2) Maybe you should start watching other Countries play, at least they qualified.
3) If you dont dare writing your rubbish in english, learn the foreign language properly before trying to write in it like a 4 year old.
4) Spare me from further comments of your part.

Der Prinz
