A superb idea! That would end up dabbling into the seventh or eighth tiers of German football. They are often called "Bezirksliga" and you have to play teams from towns near your own town.
Fun Fact for our last placed Saarbrücken: They are playing against Bayer Leverkusen in the semifinal of the DFB-Pokal on either the 9th or 10th of June
Albeit the third devision is not run by the DFL but by the DFB and is therefore no "Bundesliga", but - plain and simple - the third "Liga" (=Division)...
Hey Alfie, I just thought of a cracking idea for a video you could do on the turbulent recent history of Goztepe in the Super Lig. They’re one of the Super Lig’s most well supported clubs (a bit like a Newcastle United, Sunderland or Strasbourg if you may). In the 2001/02 season, they finished seventh in the top flight, however from 2002 to 2008, they were relegated five times in six seasons, due to their inability to reduce their outstanding debt which resulted in the football club being banned from signing new players during that time. In August of 2007, a business based in Istanbul, vowed to take them back to the top flight making them one of the top five clubs in the country, but they were met with lots of suspicions from the fan base, and then they handed over the ownership to another bloke called Mehmet Sepil in 2014. Anyway, they’re back in the Super Lig as a solid mid table/weaker top half team. Why am I bringing all this up? Because apparently Abramovich is looking to possibly buy the club himself, after being sanctioned from the UK. It’s a crazy crazy story and may you could look into this, not to mention, they are not only a rare example of a club that is considered a neighbourhood club, as well as the fact that they’ve played in 3 different stadiums since 2011, but also in 1969, they became the first Turkish football team to play a semi-final of a European competition.
I've actually seen Saarbrucken play against their local rivals, Eintracht Trier. Shame Trier are in the fifth (?) tier, or they could play against Kaiserslautern sometime in the 4th tier. Lower league German football is passionate and loud.
Tell me why I have been looking up videos on the German Bundesliga and how it changed after it’s “unification”. AWESOME VIDEO! Shoutouts from Los Angeles! ✌🏽 (1:04 am)
2:02 Short correction (i simply clicked because i want to see a non german talking about my MSV) They were called "Meiderricher Spiel Verein" (Meiderrich is a citypart of Duisburg) when founded, which gets translated to "Meiderricher Game Club" not Meiderricher F(ootball)C(lub). And now something you cannot know unless its pointet out to you: Nobody say Meiderricher, not even people from here. They get called MSV, MSV Duisburg or Meiderreicher Spielverein. Much love and no hard feelings!
If you are reading this comment, I jus want to let you know an interesting fact about german language : instead of writing '1st'/'2nd'/'3rd', when you want to rank, in german you write the number followed by a point. As you can see "2. Bundesliga" and "3. Liga" can be translated as "2nd Bundesliga" and "3rd Liga". There are also some clubs in germany that are self-named first like "1. FC Cologne/Köln" meaning they were the first club of the town. Here, Köln club's name can be translated in "first football club of Cologne". It's that simple. Don't hesitate to correct me if I've done grammar errors.

Saarbrücken are also still in the DfB Pokal right now, as the first 4th division team to ever make it to the semi finals, going up against Leverkusen soon. And with everything going on in the world right now, theres potential for a historic upset there.

@@eobenrader7492 That explains it. They had a great team and a great manager back then. But only one year later they were relegated. Same thing with there last Bundesliga title sometime in the sixties (I think). Relegation the year after that.
You should do a video on which english top flight records would be different if not only those past 1992 were taken into account (jimmy greaves all time leading scorer instead of Sherear for example)
How about a video of seven teams signing a lot of players of a particular nationality, with the background of why that is. For example, Shakhtar Donetsk with Brazilians, or Wolves with Portuguese.
can someone tell him that the point behind the number means that its an ordinal (e.g. first, second, third...) and not kardinal(e.g. one, two, three...) that would be written with no point.
If you mention that the Frankfurt squad has been dismantled, maybe mention that in the previous season they only went out of Europa League semi-final in a penalty shootout - so they got pretty good, and were thus dismantled. They also won a European Cup (Uefa Cup at the time) in 1980.. Is it apparent I want my favorite team represented better than just "13th in the table" :D okay, cool.
Saarbrücken actually is, as a 4th tier team, still in the german national cup, playin semifinals in the near future. Furthermore the rest of the Regionalliga (Regional-league I would translate to) is recently canceled due to corona, and Saarbrücken is supposed to be promoted into 3rd tier with that cancelation.
As you're an British man you can't know that, but saying ,,Meidericher" was second, is like Saying French won the WC final against Croatian. The club is called Meidericher sport club, and the place is called Meiderich. It is a part of Duisburg as you said.
