Beer Rushed To German Soccer Fans

From the Associated Press:

BERLIN: Germany's national railway wasn't about to risk sending a trainload of soccer fans to a German Cup match without beer.
....

"In order not to endanger the good mood" of the passengers, railway officials halted the train in Wuppertal for 25 minutes and had a replacement part delivered by taxi, a police statement said. It added that there was no trouble among the fans.

    Another difference between the Germans and the British - you've got to keep the Brits as far away from the booze as possible. That or it's 1945 all over again.
