Rot Weiss Erfurt

Rot Weiss Erfurt, our local soccer team, did some major butt-whooping today against Rot Weiss Essen. Showed those West German who the real RWE is. 4-0, with a rocking, rowdy crowd, loud music and sunny weather.

The best part about the game is when a goal is scored. The anouncer shouts Rot Weiss (Red White) and the crowd shouts Erfurt. This goes on for between 3-5 depending on how pumped the announcer is. Then he shouts the first name of the player and the crowd shouts the rest, again about 3 times. Then some more hollering back and forth regarding the score ending with the announcer shouting Danke! with the crowd answering Bitte! Gotta love the German formalities, everywhere you go.

The video shows the stadium, which is on the same level as a junior college, as well as the routine after a goal.
