[Sports] Dynamo Dresden vs. Energie Cottbus

I remembered lately, that I seem to have forgotten to post an entry about Dynamo's last home match. This would not have been that sad, if the opponent team was just anyone. But last Monday, the enemy came from just 100 km away - Energie Cottbus. For the third time in a row Dynamo was making the first goal. But for the first time since September, they did not lose!

I could say a lot about the game itself: in comparison to the last games, the kickers played a new way of soccer that could easily be described as a revelation. Fast and dedicated forward play. No more fear of making mistakes. Great, exciting, wonderful. We definitely had fun. (And I wonder, why I am so happy about a draw at home - but hey it was the first score point since I don't know when...)

There were also bad things happening, as it is probably often the case in high-aggressive derby games. More than 2000 fans of Cottbus' team had taken the journey to Dresden and it was great for some moments to see them, because 2000 are much more interesting than the 30 guys from Unterhaching two weeks ago.

What I did not like about the game was the potential of aggression, violence and hate. Cottbus fans showed an evil anti-Semitic transparent early in the game. Later on, they were firing signal projectiles to the field and tried to burn down their own fan block.
