They were talking about that first game Germany played back in 1908 against Switzerland. They ended up losing 5-3,

There will likely be more installments. It’s an interesting read, though I notice there isn't much here yet..?

I was wondering, which game was actually listed first in the sportsbook's lineup, and what were the odds 😁
?

It was likely the very first one ever played—considering those betting scandals were already popping up back in the 1910s regarding Scotland-England matches.

I was playing through Scotland-England from level one up to two—honestly, the devil himself was hauling that new steamship number three 😁

The very first public soccer match in America—check out that landfill chimney in the background, right behind the evangelical church tower! This was taken at Times Square, Washington, D.C., back in 1906.

If my memory serves me right—and I do love a good bit of trivia—I believe the very first one was actually played down in Cleveland way back in the 19th century!
