Just one week to go before the German national team enters the hottest phase of the summer. In their first group match, they will face World Cup newcomers Curaçao. The players from the Caribbean island nation are already winning plenty of sympathy points from fans all over the world — for example, with their spectacularly unusual team vehicle.
Unlike the classic buses we know from the other teams, which are more like coach buses, they are getting around in an old school bus. The retro-style vehicle does not even have built-in windows.
The country’s flag has been attached to the blue bus. Videos circulating online also show that the players are blasting loud music and drumming on the outside of the bus in rhythm.
So there is definitely no lack of good vibes for Germany’s group-stage opponent. It will be exciting to see whether Curaçao can turn that energy onto the pitch on Sunday and trouble the favorites.
With a population of just over 156,000, Curaçao is the smallest country ever to qualify for a Football World Cup.
What do you think of this special team bus? It’s got style, right? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!
