BERLIN (AFP) — They are in the minority but there are Germans who feel the World Cup invasion is not only over here, but over the top.
"We are not planning anything for the World Cup," says the sign in the window of "Zur kleinen Markthalle" restaurant in Berlin's lively Kreuzberg district, promising clients match-free meals.
Such establishments are few and far between.
More than three-quarters of Berlin's bars and restaurants are planning to show not only the matches but also re-runs, meaning that once the 64-match tournament kicks off on June 9 it will be hard to eat out for the next month without at least passively following the game.
