myFinally stop painting things black! Toni Kroos He is back and the national team is shining again. 2-0 with the French, the first goal comes after eight seconds. And as with the national team, where in each match so many fundamental things have to be interpreted that the fundamental debates last until the next international window, now everything is fundamentally different.

The bad guys on the team have been eliminated, the new ones can't play much, but at least everyone is in a good mood. Some fans think that the start of the Eurocup year also needs a proper soundtrack.

Elimination of nuclear energy again?

Now that the national team is once again scoring enough goals to win games, a new goal tune should be playing over the stadium speakers. Namely, “Major Tom” by Peter Schilling. This is what an online petition asks for, which more than 30,000 people already signed on Monday. Completely distant, these fans. What's happening so far? Of course “Kernkraft 400”, a nineties techno hit with a melody without lyrics to sing.

So is there a nuclear phase-out again? Left green instead of black-red-gold? Or at least instead of “schwaaaaarz and weeeeiß” like this Oliver Pocher Until recently, goal after goal could be heard over the loudspeakers. But if the shirt suddenly turns pink, that would probably be just the logical consequence.

Especially since the idea came from the funny ads for the cool new DFB jersey. The song plays in the background and fits wonderfully “with a feeling of new beginnings,” as the applicants write. Advertising that works.

So will there soon be a new German wave for the new German football team? And the “local patriotism” that until recently was missing from the provider is now at least in the music?

The association still hesitates. In the match against Holland on Tuesday (8:45 p.m.) FAZ live ticker for the national team and on RTL), announced on Monday, “Kernkraft 400” will continue to run if the national team scores a goal. After all, what do you do without nuclear power when the wind doesn't blow and the sun doesn't shine? He DFB He is afraid of the dark crisis. Still.
