The Swiss super league began this weekend and Thomas & I were enjoying the game between arch-rivals YB & Basel, which is a bit like Liverpool v Man Utd but on a much smaller scale.

Day 1238 – July 22nd 2017

A good crowd gathered outside the Stade de Suisse stadium in Wankdorf for the opening game of the season.

It was a good game and even better result, with YB winning 2-1. The loyal fans celebrated with pride.

And Thomas & I did the same with a nice Amber beer at Adriano’s cafe.

Young Boys Bern actually went on to win the Swiss Super League for the first time since 1985/86 (32 years) finally removing Basel as champions for the past 8 seasons.
