Bundesliga soccer game/Футбольная игра Бундеслиги

Soccer is sport number 1 in Germany. People of all ages play, villages have their teams and  championships, there are soccer fields in the middle of nowhere so that people can come out and play. These are the pictures of the top German soccer league -- Bundesliga. There is a stadium in the middle of nowhere, plenty of parking, access to highway. The stadium can fit about 30 thousand people. Traffic around the place starts piling up a couple of hours before the game, but a couple of hours after the game traffic is back to normal.

The game affects different people differently. Some are cold and complain about the prices of drinks, while some are so focused on the game that they forget everything.

Даже не буду описывать что такое футбол в Германии. Играют все и везде, в каждом селе есть сельская команда и каждая такая команда мечтает взять кубок водокачки. Раз идти, так уже идти на матч высшего дивизиона Бундеслиги. Стадион (в Зинсхайме) стоит посреди поля. Вокруг -- парковки. Стадион вмещает тыщ 30 народу и всем хватает парковки. Безусловно автобан до игры и после игры встает, но в принципе не так уж и плохо. Часа через полтора после окончания игры можно проехать спокойно.

Сама игра на разных людей производит разное впечатление. Кому-то холодно и 3 Евро за стакан чего нибудь попить или выпить -- это много, а кому-то азарт игры и накал страстей помогают забыть все на свете.

The field is decorated with the traditional FIFA symbol (yellow shirt) before the game.

Поле украшено традиционной символикой ФИФА до игры. Поле по-настоящему зеленое везде, как показывают по телевизору



After the game, the team (Bayern Munich) comes to their fans to thank them for their support. Fans were very organized and chanted the same song throughout the entire game (90 minutes). Non-stop.

После игры команда (Мюнхенская Бавария) подбежала поблагодарить своих болельшиков. Они (болельщики) на протяжении всего матча слаженно горланили песню команды.
