To paraphrase Rudi Völler, we could call it “an even deeper low”.
First half of the match Frankfurt vs. Mainz on Sunday were statistically the worst of all time. In 45 minutes, not a single shot was fired at the opponent’s goal. This has not happened since data collection began in 1992.
Imagine that Bundesliga will play games abroad. Just like the NFL, which held the Indianapolis Colts vs. The Atlanta Falcons at Berlin’s Olympic Stadium almost coincided with a terrible first half in Frankfurt.
All you can say is: Better stay at home! The danger that you will embarrass the Bundesliga with vaporous football is too great.

Overseas gaming has been a hot topic in Europe for years. At the weekend, former DFB director Oliver Bierhoff backed this up: “If you want to win new markets or increase sales, then you probably won’t be able to do something big in your own country. In certain cases, I think you can do that.”
The German Super Cup between champion and cup winner, which since this season has been called the Franz Beckenbauer Cup, is always talked about. The Emperor probably wouldn’t mind, but so far no games have been played outside our borders.
Then you can no longer afford part time like in Frankfurt! Because that would be anti-advertising for our league! The FAZ rightly criticized the fact that many poor performances in the Bundesliga were masked by the atmosphere of the stadiums here: “The stars are the stadiums!” And the stadium cannot be transported abroad.
Of course it will be a long time before matches between two Bundesliga clubs take place in America or Asia. And maybe it’s better that way!
