Hey, so: Pflichtspiel - non-friendly match Rumpelfußball - A football match on a low level, without many meaningful combinations, etc Eine Partie auf Augenhöhe - The teams were on the same level during the match And the last part means that the teams were on the same level (implying an interesting game), however this is rescinded when it says it wasn't an "Augenschmaus" i.e. not a feast for the eyes/not good to watch. Hope that helps :)

Generally yea, its like "it" and "that", where "es" means "it" and "das" means "that". Wenn es so ist When it is so When das so ist When that is so So they're basically the same and the difference in meaning is the same as in English Just btw "verwechseln" means switch in an accidental manner. Hope this helps :)
