WE WON!!! Evergreen O-40 has gone 10-0-1 to win the league outright!!!! We beat Manheim Kickers 7-1 Sunday to ascend to the highest position in the table.......and retired to the Evergreen Heimatbund for boots of Spaaten....we kicked the keg!!! 12 boots full....
Playing soccer is a passion and a bunch of us have been playing together for more than 15 years; some for more than 25 years. And we are good. What makes it even better is the camaraderie that has developed on my team--first Berks United and now Evergreen.........
So anyway, Evergreen Heimatbund sponsors us and lets us use their fields. So we repay the favor by spending obscene amounts of money at the club bar after games.
And das boot----a glass boot (a gallon?) and the rules are simple: drink from the boot....if you finish the boot, the guy who drank before you buys. There is a luck ritual before you drink (elbow-fist-slap-slap) and a ritual after you drink (slap-slap-fist elbow) that there is a penalty for if you mess it up. We forget what it is.
It looks like this: 
Note the toe of das boot is turned up to allow the air out of the toe. I finished everything you see, and made Foos pay for ther next one.......
It helps if you can get a designated driver.
Team in action!
