Video: Seahawks defeat Bayern Munich in the Crossbar Challenge

Here’s something fun for this last Sunday before Seattle Seahawks training camp begins.

Last week as part of a promotional trip for the Seahawks’ regular season game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Germany, Seattle traveled to Allianz Arena, home to footballing powerhouse Bayern Munich, winners of the Bundesliga for ten seasons running and the 2020 European champions.

No, Bayern Munich didn’t play tackle football with the Seahawks, nor did the Seahawks engage in a fully-fledged game of association football with Bayern. Instead, the two sides played the Crossbar Challenge, which is simply kicking the ball up against the crossbar instead of at a gaping net.
