Eintracht Frankfurt – VfB Stuttgart
Date: 11th March 2023, 3:30 pm
Result: 1 – 1
I'm a bit late writing about this match. That's partly because of the Oscars, partly because I don't feel motivated. I've been supporting VfB Stuttgart for about five years. At first it was just my son urging me to watch them. This season I've started writing about them for the first time.
It's sad days when the reaction to a match is "At least Stuttgart didn't lose". At this point in the season a draw isn't enough. Stuttgart needs to win every game to get out of the cellar. One lost game could put the team in the position where relegation is unavoidable.
The biggest newspaper headlines are about the post-game violence. Stuttgart fans pulled the emergency brake on a train carrying Frankfurt fans, so it was possible for a big fight to break out. Frankfurt has a reputation as the team with the worst fans, but it wasn't their fault this time.
On a positive note, I found a packet of Hochland VfB Coffee in a local supermarket. Hochland is a Stuttgart company that makes very good coffee. Despite maintaining an image as an elite coffee brand, it's now the largest coffee company in Germany. It costs more than twice as much as its closest competition, Jacobs Coffee. But it tastes good. When I first moved to Stuttgart it was the coffee offered free in my company's canteen. A few years later the company switched to Jacobs Coffee to save costs, and there were squeals of complaint. Jacobs Coffee isn't bad, but Hochland tastes better.
Of course, the VfB Coffee isn't anything unique. It's just Hochland's Arabica coffee, made with beans from the mountains of Costa Rica, repackaged to support the local team.
