🤯 What's going on here? Icon League take on Baller League for €500,000
It could really come down to a showdown between the small-field league winners in Germany. These have come to an end in recent weeks and each produced a winner. The Instagram page "sweatyg0al" started a survey a day ago, asking who of the two winners would win in a direct duel. So: Streets United from the Baller League against Berlin City, the winner of the Icon League. This led to teasing in the comments. Julian Schieber, the coach who won the Baller League with Streets United, commented that three players from Streets United would beat four from Berlin City. Elias Nerlich promptly responded with an offer: "Seriously: let's bet €100,000 that 3 players from Streets won't beat 4 from Berlin City, the winning team gets the money 🙌🏽 or rather back down?" The CEO of the Baller League, Felix Starck, then made another offer. Both teams play with a full team for €500,000. However, it remains questionable whether the two teams will actually compete against each other, as well as the question of where the €500,000 is supposed to come from. What do you think, who would prevail in a direct duel? This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

🤔 Who will win the Icon League? Kroos and Nerlich share their predictions
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇩🇪 here. Today is the final of the Icon League. The top eight teams of the regular season face off in a knockout system, competing for the title. Presidents Toni Kroos and Elias Nerlich have given their predictions for the winner of the Icon League. The 2014 World Champion expects that the defending champion FC OneFootball will be surprisingly eliminated from the tournament by Bürgeramt in the quarterfinals. According to Kroos, Frankfurt will advance one more round, but will be stopped by Berlin City in the semifinals, as he considers the capital team stronger at that stage. On the other side of the tournament bracket, Kroos bets on the favorites in the quarterfinals: DNA and the Wontorriors. In the direct duel in the semifinals, the six-time Champions League winner sees the Wontorriors with a slight advantage. In his prediction, the final will be a showdown between the Wontorriors and Berlin City, with the better outcome for the team of his national teammate Antonio Rüdiger. Elias Nerlich is also convinced that Berlin City will make it to the final. According to his prediction, the capital team will first prevail against The Pack and then also eliminate OneFootball from the tournament. Nerlich also expects a semifinal between DNA and the Wontorriors - unlike Kroos, however, he sees DNA ahead. This would lead to a final duel between DNA and Berlin City. In the final, Nerlich expects a narrow victory for DNA. Who do you think can secure the title and the €500,000 prize money today? 📸 Pau Barrena - 2024 Getty Images
