Half of Berliners dreading World Cup inconveniences

A survey has revealed that one in two Berlin residents is irritated by the inconveniences caused by next month’s World Cup.
 
Pollster Emnid found 49 percent of the 1,008 questioned said the "commotion" about the World Cup was getting on their nerves. The same number said the prospect of transport chaos and cordoned-off areas in the capital filled them "with horror."
 
The survey, published by the Berliner Morgenpost daily, showed 53 percent of residents agreed that they were "looking forward to the World Cup matches." Women were less enthusiastic than men about the event, although they were slightly more optimistic about the German team's chances.
 
Most respondents thought Juergen Klinsmann’s squad was most likely to be eliminated in the group stage than win the tournament. Nearly 20 percent said Germany would fail to reach the second round. Fifteen percent felt the host nation would win the tournament.
