- Thunder receives heartfelt, concluding acclaim
The Berlin Storm wrapped up their ELF (European League of Football) campaign with a clear-cut loss. They fell 14-47 (7-33) to the Rhein Flames in the Duisburger Schauinsland-Reisen-Arena. The local squad had racked up a commanding 26-point margin by the break, highlighting the growing disparity in ELF competitiveness.
Both squads had nothing to gain from this showdown. Berlin's postseason aspirations had faded away. The Rhein Flames couldn't knock anyone out of the knockout stages. As a result, Coach John Dirt's team in the Ruhr was low on spirit and motivation.
Despite the lack of playoff implications, the European football league (ELF) match between Berlin Storm and Rhein Flames was still highly competitive. The Rhein Flames' dominance in the ELF was evident as they outplayed Berlin in their final game, further emphasizing the varying levels of competitiveness within the European football league.
