Hello world!

How strange it feels in Germany now that all our guests have returned home. The country seems sort of dazed, still – though the glorious summer weather continues – the flags are still on the cars and on windows and balconies – discussions are still going on regarding Zidane or Jürgen Klinsmann – but the excitement is gone. Sober, back to normality. WE MISS YOU!

I hope to fill the gap somehow with this blog.

In the beginning I guess posts will still be mainly on football but as time goes by I think other subjects will appear. Everything is interesting. Culture, cuisine, music, history – whatever our corresponents will come up with. Just normal everday life. Special holidays. Places of interest and touristic advice. For me this already starts to build up new excitement … there is life after the World Cup! And we can still stay connected.

It is my ambition and I will do everything I can to find at least 1 correspondent from each of the 32 countries. I have already started to invite people that I think will be great authors for this blog. As a part time internet marketer I am a member of many international communities and networks and have met online people from all over the world. This is how the idea came to mind to create this blog. To make good use of my many international contacts.

Of course for some countries it will be much easier than for others to find “ambassadors”. It’s obvious that for e.g. the USA I would have many, many candidates. To ensure balance I will keep the maximum of corresponents for each country to 3.

Now if someone from any of the countries happens to read this and would like to volunteer to become an “ambassador” you are welcome to apply for one of the correspondents seats for this blog. Post a comment here and I will get back to you. I will be pleased to meet motivated authors – whether you take an interest in football or not.

That’s it for today – more to come. Must go now chasing for ambassadors. To get the most interesting stuff for you to read.

PS. Oh and by the way – 32 countries is misleading. Actually it’s 32 + 1 countries. I have added South Africa as the future host of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
