Sacred 2:Soccer

The world soccer championships in summer of 2006. Whole towns, streets and cars with waving flags. There was nearly no car which hadn't a flag attached. Be it Turks, Spanish, Italians living in Germany, Germans, everyone was proudly showing their nationality, and for Germans probably the first time after world war 2. . Even local Germans who lived in country side and small towns has waving flags, which was nothing against a 600,000 people city flagged. People who decided spontanously to watch a game on a public viewing area together with thousands of people from all over the world. It as possible to watch the game at the river banks of the main river. The game was projected on silver screens mounted in the river....(around 1 minute, 5 seconds)

In evening there were Autokorso's. An Autokorso is when people catch flags, jump in their cars without planning it, and wave them while driving slowly on the main streets of towns. On countryside all the people from nearby villages meet in a central place, district town. Don't find an english word for it, so here a video from 2010 after the match versus england:

Somewhere in all this are a few cars trying to fight to drive the opposite direction, one of them is this author's (Chattius's). Upon attempting to return from a birthday at parents home in Wetzlar (normally a 50000 people town with the villages belonging to it.) and had to cross the bridge across the Lahn river. No chance, took 2 hours for a normally 2 minute trip and family doing first aid for around 90 minutes, rear door of vehicle transporter opened and the kids standing on top of our ancient van waving flags.

Somehow this 2006 summer feeling made its way into Sacred 2 too. At least 7 places have been found in Ancaria that have soccer balls laying around, some statues with German players and the national team coach, ....

Statues may not be in same places as German version, but the soccer balls are there in hidden places, stashes and corners all over the game.

"In the grassy area directly south of the Thylysium Portal/Monolith you will see a stone bench, the soccer ball is directly behind the bench."	"By entering the sewers by way of the "Glasses" quest, you will see the soccer ball floating in the underground river."	"In the town of Clearview, look on the Merchants table."
