A few days ago my soccer team was a little unlucky and lost the semi-final against Phanta11. A very controversial decision by the referee, who had decided, that a tree branch, which was hit, was part of the game and led to a goal had quite an impact on our game. Yesterday we then had the chance to at least make it number three at our university-soccer-cup. Since we had already faced our opponent during the qualifying round, we were confident that we could beat them again from the start. Our early goals then reminded us to the last game of our German national team. In the end we won 6 to 3, and were happy that we at least had improved on rank in comparison to last year.

In 2004 Feki.de had organized the first human soccer cup at the university. Obvious that such a tournament would be a good idea to support the World championship opening party. Unluckily only very few students agreed on this idea. So there were only four teams competing with each other. One was a team from Feki.de, another one was the champion of 2004 – my soccer team of the Uni-Cup - Partysan Bamberg 03. In 2004 I think I had the chance to play one or two games for the Feki.de Team. This year I was playing for Partysan Bamberg! Without losing a single game we defended our title and won some 30 litres of beer!

It was the only game were I was set to play in the starting eleven and I was lucky that I made it to the game in time. The meeting of the assessment committee for the chair of logistics had taken longer than expected, and I hit the field 15 minutes before kick-off. That was barely enough time to take a team photo and to warm up a little bit. It was really cold and so it was good for me that I was playing almost the full sixty minutes. Immediately after the game I had the impression that I could freeze to death.

During the game it was clear that our team was more than a match for the girls we were playing against. So we took it really easy. Our line-up was mirrored: the goal keeper was playing forwards, and it was up to our team captain to keep a clean sheet. Somehow I had the imagination that our defence didn’t make that job too easy for him… Well, no details here. We ended the game 9:5 or something like that and I think everyone was happy afterwards. We ended the evening having a barbecue, and later celebrating our win in our group at the Live-Club.

I realize, that I didn't make it to write a summary about our first soccer match, at the UniCup 2006... I only threw a humongous picture series online, without any further explanation. Well, it was a hard game, but we made it to win 2:1 agains Wuchtn!, which was supposedly one of the strongest opponents in our group. Since the game was close till the end and I don't have much practice, I didn't get a chance to play, but probably the game today will be less close .

On Friday I finally made it to our Partysan 03 Bamberg soccer training! Unluckily most of our crew were already heading for the weekend, so it was just four of us: Markus, Christian, Martin and me. We decided to play two on two on a tiny field. So we had plenty of chances to train one-one-one situations, and to train short sprints. After an our of playing I was really worn. But I learned a few things to improve my non-existing skills
