Colorado Springs' USL team played a friendly against German Bundesliga FSV Mainz05, and a few friendly faces from Commerce City got to play.
A crowd of 2,015 were on hand to watch the USL Colorado Springs Switchbacks take on FSV Mainz 05 last night at Switchbacks Stadium. The one-sided affair was a good opportunity for both clubs, as Mainz had an opportunity to get in a high-altitude training game as wellas expose American fans to the quick-paced, highly technical brand of Deutsche Fußball. Meanwhile the Switchbacks players got to see how their skills matched up against some of the finest players in all of Europe.
