Leipzig Lions Lost / Leipzig Lions haben verloren!




24:23 was the final score. The top picture shows the Lions making a touchdown. The middle picture presents you a bleacher shot of Germans watching football - many were smoking and drinking beer and eating Bratwurst, but I missed the cheese nachos! The bottom picture shows a band (the Fists) providing live pregame music. What things in this bottom picture tell you that it is not in the USA? The Leipzig Lions played the Frankfurt-Oder Red Cocks - someone needs to tell them of the multiple ways of understanding their name. The game was fair - the first half was boring with no touch-downs, but the second half livened up a bit. Für uns Amerikaner ist es ungewohnt, dass Leute rauchen und trinken Bier beim Football Spiel, und die Bratwurst ist auch was neues. Der Name des Gegners kann als Gockel oder als männliches Glied ausgelegt werden - das Team wollte das sicher nicht!

So what league is that? It does not look like the World Footall League game. I wish they would server more beer and bratwurst here. Maybe you could open a nacho stand a make a fortune!

They belong to the regional league, probably north-east German regional league. Beer was cheap - €1,30 for o.3 litre, and it was Urkrostitzer - a very good local beer.
