Hello, I am visiting berlin germany from USA, and I am a big football/soccer fan, what is the pro team here in berline, and what is the website to get tickets?

Thank you!

Football is a wonderful game and the whole reason for this is because it brings countries and other places together. Why do some idiots see it as a reason for a fight? I mean it shows hatred in the game but in all fairness, I personally don’t think that there is any hatred in it what-so-ever and it’s just an excuse for these idiots to do something with there day because they have no interesting things going on in their lives, ’shallow lives’ I call it.
I mean i’ll be the first to say a good ol’ football arguement is brilliant, listening to two seperate fans argue is hillarious, like on this site, it is harmless, entertaining if anything.
But when it comes to fighting on the streets, I think their pathetic and need to grow up and get a life, who’s with me?

Watching football matches on TV I saw in subtitles the distance covered by every player. How do they measure it?

I live in India. I am a keen football player. What certification and qualificatons does one need to become a football referee. Can someone kindly give some clues.

I am a Srilankan and believe i can be the best player in the world, cuz i’ve the skills. I want to join an international football club and how should i do it. Should i go to a football camp?

I have been watching for only 6 months,i have heard that its tough to beat a football team in their home.Even chelsea had unbeaten record for 4 yrs.
Any technical advantage?

Im a decent goalkeeper and I need a new football boots. But what is the best boots for me? Much appreciated.

Can anyone please tell me what are the best type of undies to wear under football shorts and colour. I have heard that some people who play football wear male thongs or jockstraps.
Please help and advise or even send me some pics of you wearing them.

Cheers.

A few words from a friend of mine who is a steward at Coventry City Football Club below. This is in the aftermath of the Coventry City vs Preston North End match.

Were you at the game? Were you involved in the violence afterwards?

Feel good about yourselves?
From yesterday’s match.

“It’s currently 9.20pm and i’ve been home from football for around 45 minutes. I went there today really looking forward to a great game (which it was) Sadly it was ruined at the end by 150+ thugs who started a fight in the car park with the Preston fans. I’ve taken a number of punches and kicks but managed to evade the broken glass bottles, bricks and stones that were raining down on us. There were no police there today. Although i remain mostly unscathed, a number of stewards were injured. Sadly a steward has suffered a fatal heart attack as a result of this violence. Everything possible was done but to no avail.
What really p***es me off is that the majority of mindless w**kers will be back next week totally oblivious to result of their actions. It seems so sad that a good man should lose his life over some worthless piece of shit who couldn’t care less.
Shit happens………..but not like this, and it will not be forgotten.
Martin H. RIP.”
Ok, time to rewind…sort of. This morning i was summoned to the Ricoh for a meeting regarding the previous nights events. The safety officer then told me what had happened. Last night two paramedics who attended the steward, entered his office holding the stewards i.d pass and said how sorry they were but he had passed away, the management team were then informed, hence my earlier post. This morning he rang the hospital to “tidy up the loose ends” only to be told he was in the critical unit!! It transpires that the original paramedics stayed at the Arena and a different crew took him away. At this point he was indeed dead but somehow was revived. He is now under heavy sedation and unconscious….but alive. At this time he is still not expected to survive once they bring him round and if by some miracle he does, they have no idea what his mental state will be after being deprived of oxygen for so long.
The words above are from my friend.

Although the man has not died, that doesn’t make this any less revolting.

Thanks all for your responses. I won’t be picking a best answer – I’ll let you vote for one.

I want to leave this up, in the hope that some of the scum who did this might read it and maybe feel SOME remorse.

Thanks again.

I read that FIFA doesn’t like USA’s bid for the 2018 World Cup because our stadiums are built for american football and not soccer. I was wondering what the difference in stadiums were?
