Fun with international relations

The soccer world championships in Germany.
Germany and England, who have, shall we say, a bit of shared history.
A few days ago, British fans — we can assume some alcohol was involved — began singing a once-popular song in celebration. The words:
There were ten German bombers in the air... There were ten German bombers in the air... There were ten German bombers, Ten German bombers, There were ten German bombers in the air...
But the RAF from England shot one down... But the RAF from England shot one down... But the RAF from England, The RAF from England, Oh the RAF from England shot one down...
There were nine German bombers in the air... (etc.)
The Germans, as you might expect, were not amused.
So yesterday, they rolled out new patrol robots for the stadium — shaped like tanks:
Now it’s the Brits’ turn not to be amused.
Tomorrow: France forfeits!
