BERLIN – Twenty-five years ago to the day,
during his history-making speech in front of the Brandenburg Gate,
United States President Ronald Reagan implored Mikhail Gorbachev,
the leader of the Soviet Union, to “tear down this
wall.”
A little more than two years later, in 1989, the German Democratic
Republic opened the Berlin Wall and allowed its citizens to move
freely from east to west. Soon after that, Germans from both sides
knocked down the barrier that had kept them separated since
1961.
While there were no official ceremonies commemorating
Reagan’s famous words, the fall of the Berlin Wall and
eventual collapse of the Iron Curtain paved the way for the
Colorado College men’s soccer team to make its first-ever
trip to what once was the Eastern Bloc.
The Tigers celebrated the anniversary of Reagan’s speech, as
well as Head Coach Horst Richardson’s 71st birthday, by
adding to the program’s colorful history with the college's
first international doubleheader at Friedrich-Jahn-Sportpark in
what used to be East Berlin.
CC's varsity squad began the day with a 2-1 victory over the
Humboldt School. In the second game, with U.S. Ambassador to
Germany Philip D. Murphy watching, friends of Colorado College in
Europe defeated the FC Bundestag (German Parliament) select team by
a 2-0 count.
The ‘friends’ side featured Gunther Karsten ’81,
as well as current assistant coaches James Wagenschutz, Dan
Highstead and Dan Walsh.
The ambassador, who is a long-time friend of former CC president
Dick Celeste and political science professor Tom Cronin, addressed
the crowd after the second game. He recognized Richardson for 46
years of service at Colorado College as a professor and coach, as
well as his continuing commitment to cultural exchanges.
A life-long soccer enthusiast, Murphy has served on U.S. Soccer
Foundation’s Board of Directors as well as the U.S. Soccer
Federation’s World Cup Bid Committee.
After leaving the pitch, everyone involved in the games went to
Berlin’s Fan Zone to enjoy the Euro 2012 atmosphere.
Colorado College’s 18-day tour of Germany and Eastern Europe
continues on June 13 when the team flies to Budapest, Hungary. The
team’s next game is the following day in Presov,
Slovakia.
