Sometimes a friendly game isn't really so friendly

So, fresh off of Jakarta and we were invited to watch a national soccer tournament, a friendly between branches of a company the husband is working for. Now, we were used to these soccer matches in Jakarta, but most of the time the momentum of the matches slow down considerably around 11am when the beer comes out and the players start getting too friendly with the beer well before the quarter finals - not here. There were ambulances on call, serious cheering (yep, I mean serious shouting and organised team songs distributed) and even moreso serious players. I was told that they train vigorously after work (wow, I mean, wow) to the point where there were even substantial injuries sustained. I thought the German soccer team the husband played with back in Jakarta were serious players, but compared to these, they were really quite relaxed and not so fit hah!
