Soccer Fans To Drink Germany Dry

Ok, ok – it’s the English who may well do. The Sun says:

Breweries warned yesterday that beer could run out before the final because of huge demand from English supporters.

Stuttgart bar chiefs said an extra 900,000 pints were sunk last weekend as 60,000 fans partied before our 1-0 win over Ecuador. And in Cologne — where Sweden held us to a draw — the local brewery ran out of bottles and barrels.
