Superbowl: Mark Uth explains the hype in a funny FC clip

Cologne/Los Angeles –

The Superbowl, the final of the American football league NFL, is one of the most important sporting events in the world. The Los Angeles Rams won the title on Sunday night, and millions of viewers around the world watched the mega event.

And of course spectators who don’t usually follow the football league tune in to a huge final of this kind – similar to the soccer World Cup. And 1. FC Köln has exactly the emotional state that some Superbowl newcomers had in a video Mark Uth captured.

FC striker Mark Uth jokes about the Superbowl

The FC striker is asked about the Super Bowl in the FC clip. Uth answers the questions confidently, saying about his anticipation: “It’s going to be great!”. But it quickly becomes clear: Mark Uth has absolutely no idea about American football – at least in the video.

Uth is looking forward to “every three innings”, a term from baseball, says “the round has to go into the square”, Sepp Herberg’s cult saying about football, and speculates about a winner: “Because LeBron James has hung up his helmet , he’s out of the question” – LeBron James is a basketball superstar.

At the end the solution: Mark Uth asks his interviewee: “Do you think someone noticed that I have absolutely no idea about football?”. The answer: “We all have no idea, we’re just looking because of the food.”

This is probably how many viewers felt, since the Superbowl is often watched in large groups, including large buffets, especially with fast food. A slightly different dining moment at Incidentally, the Superbowl also had top model Heidi Klum: The native of Bergisch Gladbach made a brief appearance on TV and quickly spat out her hot dog before it started.
