Personally, I don't watch much football around the holidays anyway and I'm all for having a nice mid-season break. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, there are regions in Germany, where snow is the rule not the exception around late December early January til February. The winter break was introduced because many matches had to be postponed the years before, although playing on a snowy grounds wasn't seldom those days. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair in your Quiz it would be more like "Name the cousin of the great great great great uncle of the person who first had the idea to implenent the winter break. Bonus point if can name the song that was playing in the background when he got the idea." 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the latest quiz there were two questions where I knew the song but of course those questions came without any bonus I don't know how but somehow she knew... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rucksackfranzose Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Werder and St Pauli share their flights to and from their respective winter trainings camps to reduce CO2 emissions. That's a new approach, will be interesting to see, if other clubs follow their example. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Coma+ Posted December 21, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted December 21, 2021 @Rucksackfranzose I read an article today about the Saarland national football team that existed for a few years in the early-mid 1950's. It was interesting that they had to play West Germany in the final World Cup qualifier to determine the group winner in 1954. According to the article there was a lot of speculation that no one in Saarland wanted their "national team" to win because they mostly identified as German anyway and were German football fans at heart. Of course W. Germany went on to win the World Cup that year...just another neat fact about that time period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, this rumours came mostly from outsiders, who had no idea of the rivalry between FCS, where most Saarish footballers played, and Lautern, the team that many DFB players played for. Many Saarish had loved their team to defeat Germany, regardless of their self-definition as Germans, only for this fact. The atmosphere at Ludwigspark was very friendly, though. By the way: Mostly identified as Germans is an understatement. Even those, who voted in favour of the autnomy act identified as Germans and Germans only. That talk about a never existing French minority was a French invention to justify their exploitation of Saarish mines and steeling industry.

"After the Germans were defeated in another world war the French wanted to get their hands on Saarland again due to its large coal deposits and that is exactly what happened. Saarland would actually have its own flag and even its own constitution, but it was, despite some forms of autonomy, essentially under French supervision. This was something that, as mentioned, the people of the Saar never really enjoyed." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
