Most soccer games in Germany are still 'ghost-games'....meaning that the teams, the referees, and some journalists are allowed in the stadium.
Over the weekend, if you review German sports news....there was this weird affair down in Saarbrucken....where the third-level local team met up with the FCK (Kaiserslautern) team.
The game ended with Kaiserslautern winning.....2 to 1.
Then things got hectic in the downtown area of Saarbrucken....with four-hundred to five-hundred local guys (who weren't allowed in the stadium anyway).....having a bit to drink (remember, bars are closed and you have to buy your booze/beer via local kiosks or grocery stores).
In the midst of things....fireworks were lit, and the police were called to settle what was described as a 'riot'.
Covid worries coming out of this? It really doesn't take much now for politicians or city officials to get all hyped-up and worried over the spread of Covid from events like this.
