OK - maybe the following story will show you why I dislike football.
Years ago I worked in a hospital in Frankfurt and on my duty station there was a beautiful colleague. A really beautiful woman !
So maybe this was the reason why my brain has been shut down when she asked me if I would like to go with her watching a football match.
I said "Yes".
Big mistake... REALLY BIG MISTAKE...
After some seconds I asked myself why in hell there were people in Germany playing football.
But - Ok - we went to the game between two teams called Frankfurt Galaxy and something from the Netherlands.
Unlike a normal soccer game I thought I have entered a Disney Land for poor people. The whole people were on an area where they could make bullriding on an automated bull things and many other of these american like games.
Then we went into the stadion. This was the part which was Ok because it is normally a soccer stadion and I knew it from before.
The next was the marching-in of the teams. They all weared the armors, their helmet and their gay-looking trousers.
When the names of the players were told, I recognized some names as those od retired german soccer-players. What a pity - I thought. After such a great soccer life they ended in gay trousers...
Then I saw that some of the players had made a funny warpainting in their faces.
I wouldnt have been astonished if they would start to take skalps from others...
I tried to read the rules which were printed on the backside of the entrence-card.
Then the cheerleaders arrived (that was the funny part).
And the game started.
These men in the funny armors, helmets and gay-trousers took a special formation. Everyone was obviously waiting for a start signal. Then the two lines crashed into each other while this egg (EGG !!!! ) was thrown in the wrong direction back to a man who was waiting for it. This man threw it then to another of his team who tried to break through the lines but - BECAUSE ITS AN EGG - he missed him, which didnt hindered the men of the other team to continue their attack on the man and to bury him under their weight.
I tried again to read the rules while some referees in funny black and white clothes were speaking some strange things in microphones.
The whole game was boring for me - there was no tactic like in soccer. All the times they tried to hit the others and to catch the egg.
Then one man reached the end of the side and started to cheer - like the others in the stadion. I started to applaude ... and then registered that this was a mistake because the people from the Netherlands had made a goal.
OK - I thought - this was a mistake I will not repeat and continued to read these strange rules.
I was still irritated when I saw how a man tried to kick the egg between two large posts.
He failed - BECAUSE HE HAD TO SHOOT AN EGG INSTEAD OF A REAL BALL !
The cheerleaders were showing their program during the game - which was really strange (but more interesting than the game ) . I just waited that some advertising products wouls also be presented.
Then the people again cheered.
I had lerned my lesson and didnt cheered with them - and again this a mistake, because Frankfurt had made a goal. This time the man really made the stunt and kicked the egg between the posts.
And now I was cheering with the others around me.

The game was still boring - but after the game we had a nice after-game program
So - alhough the football game was a horror and really not understandable for me, the day ended in a very good way...
Now - do you understand why I think that football is some kind of show instead of a real sport like soccer ?
