Not a soccer (err football) fan, but the family and I are about to move to Germany for a few years. We decided to jump into Bundesliga as part of the German experience. For us novice, any tip/suggestions on where to go, games to watch, things to expect to have a good time?

So the three teams close to us will be Hoffenhiem, Mainz, and Frankfurt. And yeah I was planning on picking a local to make more games

I've visited Germany few times, never any Frankfurt soccer games but the city is really nice. Their soccer team is pretty good and i think their stadium is the biggest of those 3 and should be pretty cool.
It's some distance away but you should go see the yellow wall in Dortmund when you get the chance, it's really cool.
Also when you get a chance go see Adler Mannheim game. Hockey games in some cities of Germany are really fun and the crowd is crazy.
Honestly surprised this isn’t getting more air time. The videos online and on Twitter are brutal and disturbing, to say the least. Multiple outlets reporting at least 17 are dead with dozens injured. There are videos of security guards opening gates letting fans jump other fans and even a few scenes of guards joining in on the violence.
Mexican soccer needs to be slammed hard both at the club and national level. Liga MX should be canceled for the rest of the season. Neither of these teams should be allowed to play in front of their fans for a minimum of two years. Mexico should be banned from the 2022 World Cup and even if it f***s the US they shouldn’t be allowed to host the 2026 World Cup.
This will go down as one of the worst displays of fan violence in the history of sports. Terribly sad.

one of the best Caps game experiences I’ve ever had, a group of 20 Germans were there behind our seats.…..chanting their asses off the entire game, near non-stop. Great energy.

In Korea the local team was the Anyang Halla. The Koreans were pretty quiet, but there was always a section of Canadians who worked in Seoul. They were crazy and borderline scary sometimes. Poor Korean refs….

Frank Lampard can't fix your defense? Who would have guessed?
They made such a weird signings too... Alli? Van de Beek? Patterson? All while continuing to deploy back-line of Coleman-Holgate-Keane-Kenny. They did sign Mykolenko who should play but hasn't. Patterson was a back-up in Scottish league. Holgate-Keane pairing would struggle in the Championship too.
I don't think they will go down still though... that would be quite an accomplishment as they still have Richarlison and DCL. We'll see how long will Lampard last there.

Are they the old Washington Capitals of the Champions League? Dominate yearly in a shitty division, high flying offensive talent, blow it year after year against tougher competition when the tournament starts.
