Almost Everything About Football

This book lists (almost) everything worth knowing about soccer – German soccer but mainly international soccer.

No one really needs to know the names of the coaches having attended over 100 international matches. The magic of the herein collected knowledge is only unfolded through its uselessness. The book contains lists of the fastest goals, hattricks and red cards as well as a load of records and historical mistakes.

The reader finds out which clubs are named after persons and about heraldic animals in different team´s coats of arms. The author neither conceals Luxemburg´s long sorrows nor the successes of different National teams. He lists the names of Aruba´s and Bangladesh´s National players, documents Giovanni Trapattoni´s legendary speech and writes down very individual soccer-lyrics.
