just to remind everyone to meet at the main gate in cantian strasse under the Map
as far as I can tell:
-Mark
-Bell
-winter
-roman
-zink
-jorn1
-jorn2
someone else is bound to drop out but that still leaves us with 6 players so let's see if we can make it happen

I have no feeling in my legs. I think I pulled a muscle someplace I didn't know had muscles.
I had a blast though, can't wait to recover and destroy my body all over again!

I still prefer rugby as this way of playing benefits those who are smaller and faster... but it was fun and I'm in desperate need to exercise so if people are playing saturday and need one more player I'll join.
winterfeld
May 1 2008, 6:01 pm

.. first time playing football ..
six men, one woman, one ball and best weather to play .. really great
(next time and more players maybe we need same "markers" to distinguish both teams)
MarkL
May 1 2008, 7:43 pm
so where are we going to play on saturday? i think we should have at least 10 people then. same place would work fine for me.
MarkL
May 2 2008, 12:30 pm
i'm pretty sure i remember from the drunkenness last night that most people would rather play in a park, so I say we go with that.
treptow park then? tomorrow (sat), at 2pm?
winterfeld
May 2 2008, 1:09 pm
for me both places (treptower park or danziger str.) are fine.
mr fahrenheit
May 2 2008, 2:14 pm
count me in for saturday
Belloc
May 2 2008, 5:54 pm
the main field in the sport park is vacant tomorrow, that or the same field we played or mauer park or treptower park
the thing is in parks the grass is much taller and if it rains, like it did today, it's gonna get wet and difficult 2 play
but anyways I let someone else decide and I'll check this thread tomorrow

May 2 2008, 7:48 pm
I'm in tomorrow at 2pm. I vote for the park. The grass is not tall yet, and having people around could be fun.
MarkL
May 2 2008, 9:40 pm
treptow park it is. tomorrow at 2. let's meet right by the entrance that is a part of the S-Bahn station. (or is there a better meeting place?)
i'll be bringing some food and beer too.

Will make the next one.

That should be 'Treptower Park' (for once, it's easy

).

Hey guys, I'll probably run a little late since I have an appointment before that. Would someone be so kind to write down my number (+49 176 222 68374) and send me a text message - there shouldn't be too many people playing American football in Treptower Park, but in case you're "hiding", it'd be great to know where to look. Thanks!

most people seemed to want to play next saturday as well, so i think that will happen
Belloc
May 7 2008, 5:30 pm
could we possibly play in the main field of the ludwig jahn sport park? should I book it? saturday at 2 pm like last time
I'm down to play again this Saturday. I think it was better playing at Treptower Park than at the sport park. So my vote is to meet up again just like last Saturday at Treptower. Playing at the sport park just didn't feel like a classic backyard football game. Anyone in to meet up at Treptower again?
winterfeld

yes well this time you have the main field but if treptower park is so much better I won't even bother booking it

Personally, I enjoyed Treptower park better. I like the park environment better than an actual field myself. I don't know what everyone else thought. It was cool too because some other peoples friends, girlfriends, and wives could all come too and just hang out in the park. Plus we can just chill after and have some beers.
It's not up to me though, it's what the majority thinks. We'll have to see if we get enough people first and see what everyone thinks.

Completely agree. I'm in for Sat at
Treptow.

May 8 2008, 12:20 pm
Cool, sounds like
Treptow is the place. Same time (2PM), same meeting spot (outside the S-Bahn station) on Saturday.
Put up a post if you plan to come so we know we have enough people.

before i throw my hat into the ring...
this is just muck-abouts right?
i know nothing 'bout american rules footy.
but i've played a few seasons of touch.
that good enough?
suns out again, and would nice to go for a bit of a run out.
and the perving on the gals is always good

if so, i'll see if i can fit this into my oh so busy schedule.

Small Problem, I lost my phone last night so nobody will be able to call me if they can't find us.
We'll meet at the same spot again, which is at the south entrance to the S-Bahn station right where the station and park meet. And I guess we'll probably try to play in the same place, which was to the west a bit, across the street, in a big open area.
So...2:00, see you all there.

So is the game on for tomorrow? I hear it's supposed to rain, if it's just scattered showers maybe it will have cleared up by 2.

Rain or shine ladies. I think we'll be in the same area, if it is in fact a little rainy then I assume we will have a ton of room in that really big field.

If you leave the S-Bahn station by the south/west end and cross the street at the traffic lights right next to the overpass, you'll be walking towards a large field. Since there wasn't enough room on that last week, we continued on and turned north at the end of that field and played on a smaller area. If this map here works (
Google Map ), you'll have the soccer player indicating the preferred place to play. The green arrow with the little star is where we were last week (I think

). The red marker should be around where you'll start after crossing the street.
