My other German friends would say the same thing. Heiko gets up in the middle of the night or early in the morning to watch play-off games. Of course he has to drink beer while watching regardless of the hour of the day… Oh yeah – he prefers American beers!!!

The national sport is soccer (Fussball) and it’s wildly popular. The Germans also enjoy Formula 1 racing, Cycling (ala Tour de France), and for the last few years have been experimenting with American Football, which they call football. The Frankfurt Galaxy is one of the top teams. As far as televised goes, Fussball and Formula 1 are the mainstays with Football mostly on pay-per-view .

Name : Kevin26507, City : Frankfurt, State : NA, Country : Germany,I lived there for a few years and far and away soccer is king. I didn’t get the impression that there’s even second and third tier sports, like we have with basketball and baseball coming in behind football. Incidentally, the Germans are far more involved with sports we find obscure. There are big table tennis and badmitton (sp?) movements over there.

Unless major international sport events are taking place (Olympic Games, Formula 1 races etc.), approximately 70-90% of the daily sports news deal with soccer. When it comes to amateur sports (college, spare time) soccer is still dominant, but athletic sports, basketball, handball, tennis, swimming, cycling etc. are very popular as well.
