So last week I didn't have anything to write about, so I didn't. Anyways that's not so important. One thing that they do quite commonly here is for socccer, they have small little tournaments. They bring a few different teams together, or take the kids from the same club of a few age group and hold an indoor tournament. The field is about the size of a basketball court, and the same flooring. At my tournamet they had the A team and the B team, and a few guests. They formed 6 teams of 6 or 7 people, and then it was off. It was setup as a round robin tournament, so we played a total of 5 games, each one 10 minutes. I was extremly lucky, and my teammates were all really good, so our score at the end was 3 wins, 1 loss, and 1 tie, and I scored 2 goals, one of them being the game winner! Lukas has had a tournament just like this, and for their prize each team gets a little plastic trophy. With the bigger kids, and little trophy means nothing, and because it's Germany, what do you think we got as our prize? If you guessed beer, you're right. The playing hall was attached to a little bar, and each team got a 15€ coupon for drinks, and the winner got a 40€ coupon. It's not only funny to me that the prize was drinks, simply because that would never happen in America, but that not everyone there was over 16, but that didn't matter. It's even the same in a store or resturant, if you look like you could be 16, they don't even ask for ID. After a fun time in the "Schnee Cup", it was time for everyone to use up thier coupons. Seeing as I don't drink, I instead got a soda that we don't have in America, spezi. We COULD make it in America, but we don't, haha. It's simply orange soda mixed with coke, and it's pretty good. This soda has been my replacement for Root Beer, since they don't have that... So to sum this jumpy story up, I had a little local tournament with my soccer team, had a good team, won a drinking coupon, and bought soda. That sums it up till next week! Tchüss!
