I'm sure this was one of the lead stories on ESPN or your local news last night, but if you're living in a cave and didn't hear the big news, FC Basel are the official Swiss soccer champions (or should I say Schweizer Fußballmeister), beating out second-place Young Boys. Evidently there was mayhem on the streets of Basel last night as the Bebbis were out on the Barfüsserplatz chanting "Olee, olee, olee-olee-olee, FC Basel -- Schweizermeister", at least if this article is to be believed--celebration photos here (click "weiter" to see more photos--celebrating with flares and other pyrotechnics seems to be quite common in Europe).
