Football / Indian Players in T&T
« on: June 12, 2006, 11:30:20 PM »
As far as I remember from my visits to T&T, you have a huge Indian poulation (About 40%??), and yesterday at the FIFA-party in Hanover I ran into a group of eight fans from TT that fit into that (Half African and half Indian heritage). But there are no Indian players in the national team. Have their ever been any?? Do they play football at all? What's the story?
I'm just interested ...
Thanks for your inputs.

Two personal tips from my side:
1.) Never buy food / drinks inside airports (too expensive, except they have a supermarket inside like Munich). >> Ask for the taxi driver's bistro! Much cheaper!
2.) If you don't want to pay for public bathrooms, in city centers: Look for bigger book stores (like Hugendubel, Thalia etc.) bathrooms are free of chrge there.

Football / US football
« on: December 09, 2005, 05:50:31 PM »
I was born in Sacrameto, CA. but I moved to Germany when I was about 10 months old. I have an Americam passport but I feel German of course. I have very mixed feelings bout de US in general, esp. since George W. is in charge...
But when I studied in South Carolina I learned one thing: Those Americans who play "real" football (soccer) are different  in most cases. Many of them have a European or South / Central American background. Many have have travelled abroard. They are in a way "swimmers against the stream."They are more open minded as the general American. That's why I always had a good opinion about their football team, even if I don't like the American attitude.
One day they will have to accept that football rules the world (and hopefully they will finall call it football....) :peace:

2006 World Cup - Germany / Real cheap accomodation
« on: December 09, 2005, 04:29:42 PM »
Here's the deal: You buy an Interrail ticket for 1 zone. You pay 195 EUR when you are 26 or younger or EUR 285 when you older. You can travel throughout whole  Germany with this ticket. And for the nights, you pick a train from Frankfurt to Hamburg (or where ever you want), sleep in de train, take the train back, sleep again and spend the day where ever you want. For three or four weeks that's kind of tough, but for some days it works - I tried it in my younger years  ;D

Football / FIFA / UEFA = Gravediggers of football
« on: December 09, 2005, 04:00:51 AM »
To me FIFA and UEFA are the gravediggers of football. They are selling the soul of the game. >:(
Money rulez. They are making the rich clubs richer and the poor ones poorer.
They are commin' up with bullsh...rules, like booking a player for taking of his shirt after scoring, they are banning the real fans in order to get more of the ones with big pockets (VIP lounges instead of stands >>new topic!).
Football always was the people's sport and should always be, but the development makes me sad :drool: :cursing:

Football / Best supporters
« on: October 19, 2005, 12:01:54 AM »
Even though not all participating teams are fixed yet. Which teams do you think, will have the best supporrters. Best in terms of noisy, colourful but peaceful (sorry, you guys from England.. ;))
My favourites are: Brazil (as usual), Turkey, if they qualify (they are fanatic, about 2 million Turks living in Germany), Ghana (same thing, big community in Germany), the other African nations besides Tunisia, the Dutch of course, and last but not least TT!
Denmark would have been another candidate but unfortunately they didn't make it.
Japan, South Korea, Poland, Ukraine I would more see at the end of the list. Germany in between. At least we will be the winner by numbers and 99,9 % peaceful I hope. The 0,01% scum you'll find everywhere  :(
