 * Symbol question.svg The hook language is funny. They didn't argue over organizing it; they "organized what was arguably the first soccer match in Germany". It doesn't seem too convincing, though, if one could argue the point. Perhaps a different word should be used here. Also, the article speaks about football matches, not soccer matches.
