It’s a long time ago I have been watching a football match. So I was glad, that Frank had the idea to go to Frankfurt and watch Eintracht – Mönchengladbach.
It was my first time every I was in the new stadium. Last match I remember was Eintracht – St.Pauli in the 2nd League.
After a fast train trip through the “lovely” industrial area between Wiesbaden and Frankfurt, we had some problems to find the ticket shop where we could get our reserved tickets, but after surround the whole stadium we got our tickets.
The new stadium is really great. It’s a total different atmosphere, and of course everything was better in the past, but I really like it.
The ground
The game was nice in the first half, but in the second half Gladbach scored 2 goals even that they had no chances before. But our Eintracht had a bad day and without strikers its hard to win a game, so it was a 1-2 in the end. The goal for our Eintracht was a penalty, and the referee gave it because during a free kick, one of the players in the wall played the ball with the hand. Never saw before that a referee then gave a penalty, so in the end not only we lost, even the goal was rubbish.
Anyway, I was entertained and hope to find some time to be there again. And hopefully I also make it to the Wiesbaden stadium soon as well.
After the match we had a good Stadionwurst. That’s a must have, and I always enjoyed it.
Back in Wiesbaden, Frank and I had some 10-15 friendly Kick Off games. I have no chance against Frank but I managed to win one game 1-0. Hope that I learned a little bit.
Beside the legendary Infotec Shirt of Eintracht Frankfurt, now also the Tui Shirt of Hannover 96 hangs on the wall, to remember the team that avoid the relegation last season, even that their goalkeeper made suicide and the team then loose 9 games in a row.
