Michael During my youth, I famously spent countless hours playing soccer on the street. And during my studies in Munich, there was a soccer game every day at the so-called ZHS (Central University Sports), where you could just show up without registering.
The USA is indeed a diaspora of soccer, and it's not that easy to find people who can actually play soccer. But when our 17-year-old nephew recently came to visit, I remembered that there is often a so-called "pick-up game" happening in the nearby Dolores Park. So one evening after work, we ran down there and just joined in the game.
Initially, we noticed that an astonishing number of women were playing. And the skill level of the men is, um, not exactly world-class. But it was very fun, and I learned that nowadays people come together for casual soccer through the internet: on the site http://socster.com First, you select the region, then one of the registered locations, and you can already arrange in discussion forums when and how many people will come together.
That works excellently, and last Tuesday I joined a little game, which was really great! The mix was typical too: noticeably many exiled Germans, Italians, and French. Of course, I play in the German national team jersey, which I bought many years ago during a visit to Germany, so people know where I stand.
