揮舞著國旗的德國人為他們國家隊的勝利歡唱尖叫著。在慕尼黑的奧林匹克體育場，他們無比高漲的愛國熱情似乎還留有納粹時期的印記。二戰後的德國人儘量避免提起愛國主義，但是國家的自豪感在這屆世界盃中又重新被點燃了。在以三比零斬落厄瓜多爾以後，主持人希望現場的球迷為7月9日的慶典綵排。歡呼的球迷們掀起一陣陣“紅黑金”的三色人浪，一邊齊聲高呼“德意志！德意志！”。

　　這個體育場是希特勒當年為1936年的奧運主持修建的，歐文斯在這裡獲得了四枚奧運金牌，給納粹鼓吹的雅利安人的至高無上論以沉重一擊。當時可以容納10萬人的體育場經過重修變成了擁有7.4萬個座位的世界盃比賽地。

　　原文:Patriotic German fans celebrate World Cup win in stadium with dark past

　　BERLIN (AP) -- Flag-waving Germans sang and screamed their soccer team to victory Tuesday at Olympic Stadium, a joyous display of patriotism in a place still identified with Nazi-era nationalism.

　　Germans have generally shunned patriotic sentiment following World War II, but national pride has blossomed at this World Cup. That continued during Germany's 3-0 domination of Ecuador, what the hosts hope was a dress rehearsal for the July 9 final in the capital.

　　The crowd was awash in red, black and gold -- the colors of Germany's flag -- and supporters cheered "Deutschland, Deutschland."

　　The stadium was built by Adolf Hitler for the 1936 Olympics as a celebration of the Third Reich. There Jesse Owens won four gold medals, making a mockery of Nazi claims of Aryan supremacy.

　　While 100,000 spectators cheered wildly at those Games, renovations for the World Cup saw workers rip out rows of bank seating and replace them with seats, reducing the capacity to 74,000.

　　An oval roof covering the stands was added, but the altar-like platform built on the west end to house the Olympic cauldron remains. Beyond that is a 247-foot bell tower from which Hitler oversaw massive rallies.

　　On Tuesday, spectators in German-themed garb from sombreros to straw skirts and leis waved flags to celebrate goals, screamed at the referee and booed opposing players. In other words, they did what fans from other countries do.
