    The Average German videos are brilliant. I like the omnipotent ghost narrator (Clare) and how Michael can never find it. The last line of the video of how it feels to support England is too close to heart. Also, Clare’s Adidas shoes are so cute. Keep up the great work, team

    Really enjoyed this video and the tone with which it was delivered. Question from Canada. It looks like every country, in Europe, has football leagues that have a few teams that will ever win their championship. Does this not get boring? Can you do a video on football team ownership in Germany, DW?

      Hi from Germany. It doesnt really as there is competition for getting into European championships and for some clubs not going to the second league. Love it every year ❤

    • @u.p.1038

      It is not about winning only. It is also about reaching the Champions and Europa league and avoiding relegation to the 2nd league. Every country has also a Cup tournament besides the league that is less dominated by the big clubs. Teams in Germany dont have owners, they are clubs owned by their members.

    • @GoodOldErin
      @GoodOldErin 18 днів тому

      Yes, it DOES get more and more boring. Thanks to the big amounts of money from the UEFA Champions' League the big teams of the different countries become more and more dominant. So there is almost no diversity in becoming national champions anymore. For example in Germany, it was Bayern Munich who was 11 times champion in a row before FINALLY Bayer 04 Leverkusen managed its first win ever this year. I think almost every other club celebrated this as if it was its own win.
