Default "Guten Tag" from good old Germany

What´s up?
My name is Michael Cook "Mike" and I am living in Berlin/Germany.
I am a big Footballfan and know miniature electric football from way back playing it in my childhood.
I didn´t expect that there were that much enthusiasts out there being organized like that.
A couple of friends and me were thinking about having a hobby on the side to prevent losing the child in us.
What else could it be if it hasn´t anything to do with football?!
I remember telling them guys about a game I played with my dad and from that point on it was clear.....we have to find it....... hold up....I was send out to do what I can to hook everybody up with equipment, infos, etc.
Ebay aint really a platform for Germany when it comes to shipping.
Only spare users sending worldwide so it is kind of difficult to provide anything of electric football.
American Football has a big community since the early 1980 but no one really thought about to merchandise supporting goods.
You won´t find anything but equipment to play the sport yourself, here and there shirts and a few caps and that´s it!
Okay no wonder the NFL World Leauge had to quit
Europe ain´t ready for the greatest sport yet.
Finaly I contacted your forum and Lynn Schmidt gave me the opportunity to use this plattform here.
I am thankful for any help to establish this great game here in Germany.
I hope that I dind´t forgot anything important?!
If so, please let me know and feel free to ask any questions about me and whatever seems to be known.
Happy Gaming
Mike

Wow EF is starting to expand in Europe!

you should get in touch with the French Guy! he is an excellent painter and has some experience building a board, which might be an answer to your shipping troubles.

Welcome to the hobby!
