What is it that unites Germans at their core and makes them forget everything else, even in times of great distress? That's right: King Football.
And despite the huge commercialism, the desert World Cup, the sherbet clubs, VAR, rioting in the stands, Bayern bonuses, pay TV and Gianni Infantino - we love our king. Of course, each of us in our own way and, above all, each of us first and foremost loves our club.
And so Königs & Mono devote a full evening to all the questions about the round leather that have always occupied us:
Why was the VAR cheering brake introduced, do people play soccer in the desert, do individual footballers earn more in their footballing lives than the entire social budget of some countries? But also: why don't we say "cleaners" any more, why do hardened hooligans sometimes go to confession and how come a linesman sometimes has more than one flag?
Bitter comments alternate with witty exchanges, all garnished with plenty of music. Even friends of cultivated verse will get their money's worth.
