| Teachers vs. Pupils match 2007 At the school where I teach there is the tradition since many years that the pupils of the last year can play a match against the teachers. This match usually takes place in the last week before they leave school. This picture was taken in 2007 after the match which we (the teachers) lost against the pupils 3-4 after a good performance and after even leading with 3-1 at half-time. The difference was that we were 10 teachers for a 6 player's team against 30 pupils which could change in and out several times. You can imagine that our breath did not last until the end of the match ... I am the one in the middle of the bottom row with the orange Holland 94 player shorts ;-) |

| Teachers vs. Pupils match 2009 Two years later we did it better and won 3-0 against the pupil's team. Even though I have to admit that the pupils actually played much better than our teacher's team, but just weren't able to beat our defence, including our great goal keeper (a boy of my class, by the way). We on the other side needed three chances to shoot three goals. A tactical masterpiece, we could say. But maybe it was only luck! ;-) I am the one with the white AC Milan 1993/94 shorts ;-) |

| School Tournament 2009 In September 2009 we organized a School Football tournament whree 14 class teams, one teacher's team and one parent's team played against each other. My class couldn't find an adequate dress for all of them, and so they asked me if I could help them with some shirts. Of course, I could! ;-) So, at the end, my class played with my old AC Milan shirts. I have never seen so many "Gullits", "Van Bastens", "Rijkaards" and "Baresis" on one pitch before ... ;-) There was even one little "Kaka" ... ;-) P.S.: Our teacher's team (with myself) finished with 0 points and 0 goals ... ;-/ We are just not 20 years old anymore ... |

| World Cup Tournament 2010 Just one day before the World Cup in South Africa started we arranged our own "World Cup tournament" at school, where once more 14 classes and one teacher's team played against each other. Further, every team played as a nation participating at the World Cup. My class for example played as "Denmark", and the teacher's crew got the "Holland" team to represent. As a matter of fact, it was no question for me to offer the Holland shirts from my collection to wear during this tournament. ;-) P.S.: The "OZO World Cup" winning team was "Cameroun", by the way. "Holland" (we teachers) "survived" the first round and got kicked off after the quarter finals by "France" ... in fact much better than last time. ;-) |
