German Cup First Round Draw
TeBe vs. Energie Cottbus , Mommsenstadion, 9/10 August 2008
As Bungle said on Lila Kanal, good and bad. Should be a big crowd, a kind of Berlin/Brandenburg Derby character to it, bit of previous between the clubs, should generate plenty of local interest (RBB (regional TV channel) might even take an interest, Premiere (German Sky) are showing all cup games live). And we may have just a wee fighting chance.
On the other hand, plenty of scum element can be expected, Cottbus have a kind of friendship with Union, and some very unsavoury elements in their support. Plus, realistically we have no chance. Still, a least a Bundesliga team and it stirs the blood much more than previous draws.
