Yes, yes, the cup and its laws. So own. Not dead. Always beautiful. There are only six first division and eight second division clubs in the round of 16. The last time that happened was thirty years ago. In the end, Bayer Leverkusen won.
But because history doesn’t repeat itself, especially not for Bayer Leverkusen, we dare to make a prediction: It doesn’t have to happen again. And this is neither about the first nor the second league.
On Thursday, a colleague from outside the field suddenly appeared in the office. He was very enthusiastic, on the one hand. But also difficult to understand, on the other hand. It turned out: To celebrate the day, that was completely understandable. Because he spoke Saarland.
Inspired by the prospect of a Saarland Cup final between 1. FC Saarbrücken and FC Homburg in Berlin in May. Is that utopian? Yes, on the one hand.

But on the other hand, if you look at it soberly, Thursday morning was considerably less utopian than Tuesday afternoon. Just think big. Where if not in Saarland?
