Re: The Set: Seven Reasons the Bundesliga Is Better Than the EPL

I loved this article for so many reasons.

At kicker.de a few years back they averaged out goals-per-game and the Bundesliga came out way above the Premiership (France's Ligue 1 was top). Also, thanks for mentioning the CHEAPER PRICES at the stadium. A game at the new Emirates in London will cost 60 pounds at its cheapest and with much luck. A game at Hertha in Berlin starts at 7 euros.

Another big difference for stadium atmosphere is the "Stehblock" or standing section. They're illegal in the UK, because of high-profile violence years back. But in Germany you still have them and they cause an amazing vibe (though they're gone in Munich, Frankfurt, Duisburg, and a few other new stadia).

Woah. The UEFA Cup looks more exciting this year that the CL, especially for a Bundesliga fan. Sadly the online offer for viewing games doesn't show UEFA Cup matches until the quarterfinals. :-(

Thanks for the update. What a fascinating year; I mean, Hoffenheim!
