Euro 2008: Let’s Mention The War And Cellars

AUSTRIAN. In the cellar:

The Ernst Happel Stadium in Vienna will play host to the crowning glory of the European football season when it stages the Euro 2008 final on the 29th of June. However, the stadium has a sinister past. In 1939, more than 1000 Jews were imprisoned in the catacombs under the stands while they waited to be deported to Buchenwald. Despite that, ” the football continued as usual”.

Two halves and one Spanish goal, doo-dah, doo-dah…
