Re: Re: The greatest supporter of them all !! The guy on the left is His Highness Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan al Nahyan, President of United Arab Emirates, and the guy on the right is his son and second in command His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al Nahyan. That photo is opposite the press box at Al Nahyan Stadium in Abu Dhabi, where Group F played its games during the World Youth Cup. The opening game and the final were played at the Zayed Sports City complex just outside of Abu Dhabi. Group A played its games at the brand new Mohammed bin Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
This one of the oldest rivalries in german soccer-history(first match-up was in 1936) and since then probably the most violent one. Already the first match were watvhing 12k people and there were already riots among the audience and insults against the players after the game. In 1956 this game brought 100.000 people into the stadium. In 1999 it reached a new peak of violence when vfb-hools entered the visitor-ranks of the sachsen leipzig fans and the game nearly had to be cancelled. Last year was the last time when they met, and guess what happend?? The audience was again beating each other up and the game was interrupted till the police gained control again 30minutes later.
Dynamo Dresden - Dresdner SC used to be very dangerous too... and Eintracht Frankfurt - Offenbacher Kickers is also very intense. But I agree, the Leipzig derby is the most "dangerous" rivalry in Germany. Let's hope VfB Leipzig can overcome their financial problems, would be a shame if the club died. Actually most of the really intense rivarlies in Germany are between teams that don't play in the same league today.. Btw. nice video of Frankfurt choreography vs. FC Kaiserslautern: http://eintrachtfans.de/download/****-choreo.wmv very original, that's what I like EDIT: uhm, i see there's a filter in here for foul language if you want to view the video, replace the four *'s with f u c k.
Wow, awesome. These fans realy deserve a better club than this. Thats gonna look great when the stadium is finished.
Here are some pics from the Dynamo Dresden vs. Dresdner SC derby: This game was this year an had an attendane of 14.100! and was in D3.
Dynamo Dresden. The last game of ULF KIRSTEN. His Abschiedsspiel. And the fans of Dynamo created some astonishing atmosphere. Its really worth the loading time! http://www.dynamo-dresden.de/galerie/spiele/0304/031116_kirsten/videos/ulfabschied-choreo.mpg 18 MB. http://www.dynamo-dresden.de/galerie/spiele/0304/031116_kirsten/videos/ulfabschied-pyro.mpg 23 MB.
These are pictures from the German-cup game between Kickers Offenbach(D3)-Eintracht Frankfurt(D1) this season. These are the Offenbach-fans. These are the Eintracht-fans. Look at the police all over there.
And their local #1 rivals, Schalke 04. Unfortunately the Arena AufSchalke seems to be constructed in a way that the light always shines on the Nordkurve during the usual playtimes.. there has been a choreography that was really not recognisable due to the light falling in. Notice the sign "100 Schalker Jahre" being held up by balloons
