1899 Hoffenheim

Krauts match canceled on Saturday morning, so had some beers Friday night. Saturday evening we had BBQ at a Japanese Restaurant than moved to RoseBar to watch football and drink some other beers. And we had a funny live match where Bayern lost on the end. Haha.
Sunday was busy, with nice weather so playing outside nearly all day.
Luckily clocks have been changed to Summertime in Europe, this means matches one hour earlier here.
So 930pm watched Hoffe-Freiburg. Very boring first half with another outstanding performance of Chancentod Ibesevic, who had the only big chance but failed.
Even with starting time one hour earlier, it was so boring and I was so tired and finally fell asleep in between sth like 49th to 85th min. So just saw the last 5 min of the second half. Result 1-1 whoever knows how it happened, i don’t know…
Let’s see what’s going on next weekend.
Ahh don’t forget: Better city, better life… Haibao is watching you…nearly everywhere…it is rumored that half of the expo cannot be finished…who knows? I do not… oh my friend couldn’t pass the test for his driving license, he had no answer to the questions why we have Expo this year? How long we will have expo? and how much will be the price for a one day ticket? Who t F needs to know that? Maybe Haibao…

Well Hoffe is loosing and loosing. Really poor performance in the last two matches. So what can we do.

Krauts performance also disappointing, but at least the weather has become better. So waiting for better days and the weekend with hopefully more fun than last weekend good weather and new spectacular discoveries. Maybe I should make some pics of the crazy fast speed railway construction sites, one of my cesspool in the backyard and some others of the last undiscovered hole nearby here, or maybe discover some holes in Tongren Lu? Who knows?

Or let’s disappear to some other evil places. Anyway cannot play football on Saturday. Suspended because of too many yellow cards, but maybe should stop playing at all as my knee is fucked. Better no more sports and follow the advice of my massage laoshi: 不要踢足球不 如去泡 妞

In diesem Sinne Gute Nacht

Nobody here Friday night, so I was drinking a couple of beers alone. But as it starts slowly it always ends hard. Something like 11pm Ivan der Schrekliche came and we decided to go to Manhattan. Drinking a couple of beers and we had a lot of fun that night. Unfortunately Saturday was gone as we went back home 5 o’clock in the morning. So  Saturday night again started quiet and ended hard. A lot of people in the bar with two IM’s and some other friends. We were watching Bremen Stuttgart and Koeln Bayern later on also Dortmund Gladbach. But the matches soon were secondary as some of us started playing 7, 8, 9 and some Looping Louie. So most of us ended up drunk as of course we played with Jaegermeister. Hoffenheim plays tonight so it will be a hard monday morning again.

Went to the construction area again. This time from the other side, because all the gates were guarded. Made my way across a funny bridge.

Later on found some huge Aluminium glass buildings there. But again not the hotel. Looked like they are making a huge botanical garden over there. Disappointed I went back home.

On Google earth I found out that there are two other quarries over there much bigger than the first one. So I went on of them last Sunday. And I was totally right it was the quarry there the hotel in the picture should be. But as I said should be. The construction hasn’t even start. The only thing that shows the hotel was a damaged picture on one of the walls which is guarding the hole. But even without hotel the hole is amazing. Roughly 100 m deep with turquoise water inside. Have a look at the pictures. I went all around the quarry and even some meters inside. But feared to go further, as it was windy and the stairs down to the ground looked very slippery.

For sure I will go there again and maybe go down to the ground, if it stops raining this week. The forecast says snow on Tuesday which is not funny at all here in Shanghai. Let’s see when spring comes.

Chinese New Year and nothing to do, so what to do? First I went with my daughter to Tianmashan where we walked around for 2 hours up all the mountain and back. Tianmashan is the quietest of the small hills in Shanghai, but it is the best place in Shanghai to take a walk in the forest. Sheshan was packed with people and there we didn’t meet anybody in the first half hour and maybe 10 people all afternoon. Actually quiet interesting there: Small trails to walk and all covered with bamboo and other trees There is even a leaning tower (not sure if it can be called a pagoda) that has a bigger angle than the Tower of Pisa. I would not be surprised if one day it would top over, though. Very mystically.

On my way back home I passed the construction area of the new famous 5Star Songjiang Hotel. I wanted to go there a couple of times before but never went inside. This time I stopped and walked inside, but after a half hour I went back, because I took my little princess with me. So I came back the next day, dressed in black and with “Springerstiefel”. Actually no big think to open the door of the fence of the area. The security guards didn’t see me, they were very busy talking. No any worker on the construction side due to CNY.

So I went through the entrance building into the huge park which looked nearly finished. Very nice beautiful garden.

I guessed that the hotel is in the quarry below the hill with the pagoda on top which you can see from far away. So I walked there but encountered a problem that the only bridge to go there, was guarded by a smoking Baoan. I walked along the river which was quiet soon finished, so no river anymore. Than found a quarry on the right side of the hill with a beautiful botanic garden but no buildings there.

As it was the last mountain in Sheshan area on which I haven’t been on top I climbed up to the pagoda. No big thing, again a fence but easy to pass. Nice few on the quarry filled with turquoise water. But no hotel. Walked all the way down on the side of the quarry until the bottom but there were only some small buildings, no hotel. I walked around a bit more than decided to go back to the car. Had to fool two other Baoan, but none saw me.

After studying the model picture of the hotel in the internet, I found out that the hotel is actually in another quarry about 1 km away from the hill.

I had seen some construction there but couldn’t see such a big hole from the top of the hill. This means I have to go there again soon. Though the view from the hill onto the quarry was nice.

Chinese New year Holiday ended on Friday so we have to go back to work on Saturday. After all the poor performances of Hoffe in the last weeks I decided not to watch the match 3:30 in the morning and instead went to bed. But I watched a report in the news and again Hoffe was betrayed by the blind referees.  Hoffe was the stronger team in the beginning. A couple of chances and a handball by Daems which actually was a penalty for Hoffe. But as always blind referee.

1^st goal of Gladbach: Nilsson played hand but outside the box and the referee gives a penalty.  Hoffe couldn’t manage to make a goal in the first half and after the break again goal for Gladbach and again with the help of the Blindsman. Clear offside goal.

But Hoffe stood up again and so Ibesivic made the 1:2 in the 69 minute. And than again no penalty for Hoffe after Dante played with the hand.

But… than a strange thing happened: In the 89^th minute the ref took off his tomatoes and gave a penalty for Hoffenheim. (!!) Eduardo made the equalizer. So Hoffe with a lucky point and hopefully with a better performance next week against Hertha. Remember the decisive victory last year. If they don’t win against them, then …..

After the victory against Hannover which I didn’t see again another loss against Bochum. We were watching Leverkusen-Wolfsburg which was a funny match.

But finally 12 o’clock the year of the tiger started with a huge firework everywhere. This year luckily without any damaged bridge or damaged bar sign caused by fire. Pissed of by the firecrackers in Germany at Sylvester I bought material for 1000 RMB. And it was a lot of fun even without any damage.

Last weekend no match of the Krauts and the week before we lost unlucky against Suzhou Allstars. Lucking forward to the next match on next Saturday against Vodoo.

Other stories: Well Mat and I went to Anting on Sunday to check some strange bars. After driving around with a stupid taxi driver who didn’t know the way as well as we didn’t know the way we finally made it to a small bar, but found out quickly that it was actually a secret meeting point of former IMs. So we moved to the next place where the owner was totally pissed sleeping on the bar. After a couple of beers we moved to the next place. Same story here, owner sleeping on some chairs. No girls in any of the bars but again drunk and again a funny evening.

Monday started slowly but ended hard. IM Sparwasser was here as well as a Belgian outlaw. Already pissed we went to downtown where Sparwasser totally got crazy and danced with some Ladyboy and finally disappeared. Maybe the Stasi took him back to the secret meeting.

Oh, we had snow on Thursday afternoon and Saturday night after 21 degree last Tuesday afternoon. Seems like everything is going to get crazy.

And let’s see what’s going on with Hoffenheim on Friday? Unfortunately back to work on Saturday morning.

No points for Hoffenheim this year? Looks like they can’t manage to score anymore. How this will end? Hopefully they can win against Hanover this

Watched Bayern against Mainz in Spot Bar then went to new opened Judys Saturday night. After a lot of beers drink a lot of whiskey together with a man from the north, a man from the south and a man from the biggest mountain in Kraichgau!! We had a lot of fun that night and I didn’t know the result of Hoffenheim until the next day.

Luckily the Sauerkrauts could manage another draw against the much stronger british Anzacs team. We took the lead by Sparwasser after 10 minutes. But than after we played too offensive and tried to play offside we got the equalizer after 30 minutes. With big help of the tomato referee, because it was offside.

The rest of the match was so called “Einbahnstrassenfussball”. Except of some few “Konter” the Anzacs played 70 minutes on our goal. But due to our strong defense and a strong goal keeper they couldn’t manage to score. One phase we had 8 corners against us in one row. A real battle! Luckily we could hold the draw and so we are still in range to 2^nd place although looks like everything comes closer together.

Next Saturday no league match but we will play with the Krauts against Suzhou Allstars. This was a hard match in September in Suzhou when it was something like 40 degrees on the pitch. We lost the match because we were all pissed from the night before in red Lion.

So hopefully we will have a victory on Saturday and afterwards a great night as always.

And let’s see what’s going on with Hoffenheim on Saturday? Druff unn dewedda!!!

What should I say? Another defeat of Hoffenheim after a poor performance on Friday night. And for that I got up again 4 am in the morning, totally pissed from the birthday party some hours ago. The match 3 weeks ago against Stuttgart was even worse when I was standing in the stadium at -17 degree. Forget about Hoffenheim in these days. Hopefully better days coming again.

But there are a lot of more exciting things to talk about: e. g. e fass voll Mischtbrieh, a flying French and the Sauerkrauts with an “unheimliche Serie” of 5 unbeaten matches.

“E riese Fass voll Mischtbrieh” is what you get when you have “hunnerd Kieh”. Nothing more and nothing less. Story finished. Haha. Joking. Great cover song of “Let it be” by Gonzo and his “zommegwerfelder Haufe vun Kraichgauer”. Great performance and we had a lot of fun that night. Another Christmas Vollrausch especially by Kreuzer aka “Gruubsch”.

The flying French man has nothing to do with Richard Wagners opera “The flying Dutchman”. But instead that is what happens if you are French and talking bullshit in a German Bar. So be careful if you are French. War is not over and you are still our enemies!

After Friday nights flying training, we had another match with our team Shanghai Krauts die Zweite on Saturday afternoon. And we managed to score another victory. 3-1 against Longtang. This means we are unbeaten for 5 matches now even tough we had to give away a couple of players to our first team in winter. Have a look at the standings. http://www.eteamz.com/SIFL/standings/index.cfm?season=565279&division=3908867

Next Saturday we will have another cup match against Shanghai Pussy Lions, a French (!!!!!!!) team. They are currently leader of the Premier League unbeaten and quiet strong packed with banana eating monkeys. But even if we cannot win against them, we will injure as many as we can to help our first team. Fuck the French.

Let’s see what’s going on with Hoffenheim next Sunday.

Saturday night I was forced to listen to Bundesligaschlusskonferenz on radio again. A terrorist attack with masses of stinking Kimchi led to a shut down of the Hongkong Satellite TV station.

Pissed on Friday night we had a league match with the Shanghai Krauts 2 against a Chinese team on Saturday afternoon. Luckily we could manage to score the equalizer to 3-3 in the last minute in an exciting match. We could have won, but Chancentod Sparwasser couldn’t manage to give us the lead.

Little bit pissed of because of the result and no TV I was listening to radio. First time Tor in Hoffe was after 34 minutes when Eichner took the lead with a Sonntagsschuss from 30 meters. Very nice.

2^nd goal and 3^rd beer a few minutes later by Ibesivic after Compper won the ball in the midfield.

Nearly sleeping in halftime I woke up after the third goal by Zuculini.

After the match I directly went to bed after a hard Friday night and a hard Saturday match. Hopefully next Saturday will be more exciting.

Anyway everyone will be drunk as we will have a Halloweenparty on Saturday.

Hopefully with many beautiful Meinu.

Cu there

After Beavis and Butthead came to Rosebar I finally got TV again! I need TV! Hehehe! Butthead was complaining too much and terrorizing my waitress! So finally I got live football on Sunday night again.

First watching stupid roundabout Formula 1, which was actually so boring, that I decided better to play dice with two Meinu, hehehe. Very funny!

Than after a couple of beers already, the glorious match of Hoffenheim started.

And how they started: First attack formerly Chancentod Ibesivic made his first goal of the season with a beautiful volley shot from the end of the box! A beautiful combination of Salihovic and Obasi had led to this goal.

And Hoffe went on. The celebration of the first goal wasn’t finish when Ibesevic made his second goal, just after 4 minutes. A corner kick by Eduardo and a powerful header by Ibesevic.
Just two minutes later Obasi put a shot on the left post.

I kept my promise and payed two Jaegermeister for the first two goals!

Hoffe played beautiful football against a desolate Berlin team.

Next Jaegermeister after the 21 minute. 3:0 again Ibesevic with a header. Beautiful combination by Eduardo Salihovic and Beck!

The 1:3 by Raffael’s direct freekick just before the break was more than surprising! Already drunk and now supported by IM Thomas Sparwasser Bernhardt, we switched to get the German general election results! Another satisfying result led to another Jaegermeister.

Going back to football Obongo Ba made a goal, but it was not given, because Obasi fouled Herthas goalie just after the 2nd half started again!
In the following Hertha tried to play football, but the TSG was just too strong for them today. 58 minute Obasi made the 4:1 with a nice left foot shot. Terrible defending performance by Berlin! Finally Ibesivic was fouled in the box. The following penalty was “sicher verwandelt” by Carlos Santana. On the end Hoffe was making jokes with Hertha defenders, especially Eduardo made a lot of “Kabinettsstueckchen”.

After a couple of Weissbier and a lot of Jaegermeister the match was finished. Glorious victory.

Unfortunately IM Bernhardt and me didn’t manage to go home, but instead drinking more with 4 Meinu again until 3 something in the morning, which led to a “Totalausfall” on Monday morning.

Looking forward to next Saturday when we will blow away Mainz and their carnival team. Hopefully again with IM Sparwasser Bernhardt and collaborating Jugos!
