Stockhorn v pozadí vlevo/Stockhorn on the left up
I am certainly not a fan of Sparta, but I didn´t let myself miss the opportunity for a family trip. On a beautiful summer evening we then all took our seets in „arena“ in Thun, over which looms the silhouette of the Stockhorn peak, after which it is named.

Spolu s námi zápas sledovalo něco málo přes 6 tisíc diváku převážně fandících domácím. I když se jejich týmu právě nedařilo, povzbuzování (aspoň z toho, co jsme rozuměli:)) bylo vesměs slušné – hodně často se ozývalo „Hopp Thun!“ a různé popěvky. Závěr zápasu byl lehce vyostřený díky zbytečným faulům a ne zcela přesným výrokům sudího, ale přesto nelétaly žádné světlice jak tomu bývá v české lize, maximálně kelímky od (nealkoholického) piva, které ani neměly šanci doletět na trávník.
There were a little over 6,000 cheering spectators – mostly home fans – watching the match together with us. Even if their team has just been failing, encouraging and supporting (at least from what we understood :)) was mostly in good manners – we could very often hear „Hopp Thun!“ and various chants. End of the match was slightly escalated due to needless fouls, and not entirely accurate statements of the referee, but there were any smoke bobms fired (like it often happens during matches in the Czech football league), only few empty (non-alcoholic) beer cups were thrown, but they didn´t have any chance to hit the lawn.
Pohledný zápas skončil hokejovým výsledkem 3:3, a vzhledem k výsledku předchozího zápasu Sparta postoupila.
Attractive match ended by the „hockey“ result 3: 3, and due to the result of the previous match Sparta advanced to the next round.

We thought it would be interesting if Sparta fought with another Swiss team (again YB Bern or FC Basel were possible adversaries) in the next round of the European League, but unfortunately our wishes have been ignored when draw. So we can only hope, that we should be watching football with Czech participation next season.
And of course I look forward to reading all you comments.
