Looks like crowd is also booing USA and cheering for NZ. So it's the case of "underdog culture" (and not cheering against GER in partcular).

From Pan Am 2007 they booed the countries which were expected to do well... I remember reports of Canada being booed all over the place. So yes this appears to have shifted to the Olympics.

Well sorry, but I don't think I'm gonna stay awake for one and a half hours waiting for France - Colombia and then another two hours to watch that  

 

So good luck to our French and Colombian members  

 

Thanks

I wonder then what would be a reaction towards athletes who withdrew because of zika.

[dcro 10,210]

Well, it was a solid day overall (except SWE vs RSA which was awful, Sweden literally looked like in slow-motion).

 

Though the best (well, funniest) goal came from that game.
