FCB flag on the Rathouse - Basel

FCB flag on the Rathouse

by Myndo

I am not much into football (or soccer as the americans say), but it is really hard in these times to get around it.

FCB, that is our local Football Club, is playing well enough to attract a lot of fans.
They are Schweizermeister (best swiss football club) this year and 2002. 4-5 players do also play in the National Team.

So, do not be astounded to find the flag in red, blue and yellow almost everywhere - even on the Rathaus on the Market Place (see pic).

Its not only the flag, almost every third car from Basel and surrroundings has the sticker on it.

When they have a match at their local stadion (St. Jakob), the area is closed for cars - and you better not need a parking space right then.
