SV Babelsberg von 1903 1 - 0 Hertha BSC II
This one was special: It was my son's first visit to a football stadium - he liked it, although he is monumentally uninterested in playing sports himself; our very local club - the stadium is within walking distance from our house - managed to stay in its league on the last day of play with a minimal and hard-won victory. And I supported them even though they played against the farm team of my old love, Hertha ... I was conflicted, but I figured I'd be better off if the local club offered at least fourth league fitba. And then they won despite my support, which was as great as it was unexpected.
In the evening, we had our Cup Final, which turned to be a great evening -
Borussia Dortmund 0 - 2 Bayern Munich (after extra time)
Arjen Robben scored after running around the pitch like one of those bunnies in the Duracell commercials, and Thomas Müller scrambled in the decider two minutes from time after he had been treated several times for cramps - I rooted for Dortmund, but this was one worthy final to a crazy season. And I do have hopes for our team in the World Cup, because, yeah, this was very, very good football.
Tomorrow night, my SpVgg Greuther Fürth have the chance to sink Hamburg into the second league after a 51-season presence in the Bundesliga. I am sure they will botch it, but I'll root for them tooth and nail anyway, especially after a valiant performance (0 - 0) at Hamburg Volksparkstadion last Thursday.
