It is against the law to mention the date 1966 in any football ground.

This isn’t true. There is no law for that.

Germans are DEFENSIVE. Seriously, most of the stupid laws on this site have at least one comment from someone in/from Germany denying or defending the existence of the law. Don’t be so grumpy about it.

Well maybe because half of the stupid german laws on this site aren’t even true. It being illegal to speak about a football game? There is no law like that here xD Also the “Nobody is legally drunk during Oktoberfest” …that would be nice but come on.

I suppose 4-2 is permitted if it is the score.

Not true. Only the English are obsessed with 1966.
