The German soccer team felt like they had shamed their entire country. After losing to Spain on Sunday in the Euro 2008 soccer championships, the team and their fellow countrymen must move to the United States.

In a bet that was made between the German government and the government from Spain, the loser of Sunday's game would have to move everyone in their country to America. The bet stated that punishment for losing would be to go to a country that disrespects the game of soccer.

Since America is the only country in the world that disrespects the game, all Germans must now move to America. Having to move to the United States was more of a punishment than losing the game, according to some German players.

Since America is the only country in the world that disrespects the game, all Germans must now move to America. Having to move to the United States was more of a punishment than losing the game, according to some German players.

"We fought our asses off for ninety minutes today just so we didn't have to go to America. I can't believe we must now go to a country that shows such lack of respect to the game the world loves," said German captain, Michael Ballack.

The game was a battle between two passionate teams who were both trying to avoid having to move to America. The teams and their governments made it clear before the game that their hatred towards each other exists, but not as much as both of their hatred towards the United States.

A tearful Ballack was seen packing his bags for his move. Among the things Ballack packed was an American football and a baseball. He left his soccer ball out of the suitcase. It is a well known fact among most country's that having a soccer ball in America is a good way to get made fun of.
