Brit Dopers: Kraut-bashing advice needed

I take it the statute of limitations on World Cup scores is over? If not, click fast.

Anyway, the US plays Germany in the round of 8 on Friday, and we need some help. We Yanks are new to this world-class soccer stuff, and a few pointers would come in handy. We really do want to do the right things as fans.

I understand we’re supposed to engage in verbal abuse of Germany and Germans right up through the game, right? So what are the best ways? Do we make cracks about invading Poland? Recite old “Hogan’s Heroes” scripts where Klink and Schultz look like idiots? Denigrate Bismarck’s diplomatic strategies? Go up to blonde women and say “Hey fraulein, I got chocolates, I got nylons, I got American cigarettes”? What?

So, please, Brits, help out your fellow Anglophones. What are we supposed to do?

Much obliged, chaps.

Whatever you do, don’t mention the war! (I mentioned it once, but I think i got away with it…)
