Fußball!

So then a couple weeks ago I ended getting to go to a soccer (Fußball) game! It was pretty cold that day, and when we got back, my everything was pretty numb. But yeah, so about the game.

The Europeans are known for being very devout to their favorite team, and this game was no exception. The teams were I.F.C. Magdeburg in blue and white and Union Berlin in red and yellow. Not very many Berliners were there, but the ones that were there crammed themselves together in a section and made sure everyone knew they were there. They had big, sparkly stars and instruments and sang a lot. We sat on the Magdeburg side, and the Magdeburgers had drums, but nothing quite as elaborate as the the Berliners. On the upside, there was a crap-ton more of us, but you can't see them in my picture. We ended up sitting by some really enthused people, and by really enthused, I means lots of angry German yelling, haha. But it was fine, at least we weren't by any scary Neo-Nazis or anything...

But yeah, so they tied. Magdeburg scored a goal kinda by accident in the first 10 minutes of the game. Then both teams kinda pansied around for about another 75 min, then Berlin finally got its goal in the last 5 minutes or so of the game. Yeah, so basically nobody was all that happy after the game, but I had a good time. ^_^

But the one thing that did irk me was that they ran out of the sausage I wanted. I mean, how did the Germans manage to run out of sausage??? It's almost as unimaginable as Americans running out of something we have too much of... like ignorant conservatives! But anyway, I got a hot dog instead, and it was kinda suck. I think they should just stick to making good sausage and forget the hot dogs... And next up is a cute picture of me and Emily! Yay!
