73/356: 1/32 Finals Swiss Soccer Cup: FCB vs FCZ

After Robbie on Friday, it was the 1/32 finals, or the first round, of the Swiss Soccer Cup on Saturday.

The game was FC Bassersdorf vs. FC Zürich. That is 6 leagues difference. FCZ plays in the highest league and FC Bassersdorf in the 2nd highest regional league. It was special to me because some people that I know play in that team, my brother plays and coaches for that club and I lived a few years in Bassersdorf.

It was a great day. Many known faces, great weather, cold bear and six goals. Sadly the goals were all by FCZ but to be honest, nothing else would have been a miracle. Bassersdorf played really well and they gave it their all. The only thing I could have wished for was that Bassersdorf would have scored a goal. Alas that was not to be.

Otherwise it was really a great day and my younger brother starts to be a big input for my firsts. Keep them coming!

For this post I stole some of my brothers pictures and mixed them in with my own.
