Overdoing the World Cup 2010 – II

I was in Tripoli last Saturday on the way to El-Mina when I spotted this building covered with German flags on all sides! And obviously that fanatic supporter Rabah Assafiri is so proud of himself that he’s even displaying his name on a flag for Bayern Munich… probably to get attention? He got mine at least.

There’s probably more flags on this building than on Berlin’s presidential palace!

    World cup insanity is proportional to ‘Fadee Ashghal’. In Tripoli, we have a lot of those..

    Back to basic need of tribal belonging…. belong or die: to a party, a religion, a family, sports club or a football fan club. Sociological analysis needed big time in Lebanon. Or mass psychoanalysis!

    @Danielle
    True, in general Tripoli is more conservative & authentic than Beirut, it actually has a different identity. If you’re planning to go there then make sure to visit the old souks and neighborhoods.
