Buntkicktgut Open

June 2, 2010

“Buntkicktgut” means “Colourful kicks well”. It’s an initiative – established in 1996 by Ruediger Heid and Memo Arikan – which uses street football (soccer) as means for the integration of immigrant kids.  In the meantime its League with 150 teams and more than 1500 participants  has become a respected institution that served as example in several  countries in Europe.  For it’s efforts to promote tolerance, integration, non-violence and self-esteem within the community of young people from different origins and cultures Buntkicktgut has received awards from the German Football Association, from the Lord Mayor of Munich and from the President of the Federal Republic of Germany.

The annual highlight is the “International Buntkicktgut Open”. This year it took place in the Olympic Park from May, 21st to 24th . Thirty-six teams from Germany, England, Poland,  Serbia,  Austria, Switzerland and even two from as far away as China competed for the trophies in four categories.  Important was not the victory, but fairplay and the cross-cultural  encounter of juveniles from diverse backgrounds.

Manchester United vs Bayern Munich

April 11, 2010

The latest shock for English soccer: After a 3:0 lead  against Bayern Munich Manchester United exits from the Champions League.  And with the exception of Arjen Robben’s miraculous strike at Old Trafford Bayern did not even shine as  in the first leg at home. For the first time since seven years there’s no Premier League club left in the semi-finals.  Do the standards decline in the motherland of football? Ferguson’s hateful remarks against Bayern players after the game were worthless to say the least. Maybe he was intoxicated having chewed too frantically on his gum.
