Gaby: <strong>No</strong>w we have the „Quick answer“:<br />
So, the German people<br />
should be very proud of their<br />
beer. I know that there are a lot of<br />
people in the United States who try to<br />
make really good beer. There‘s some<br />
good beer there, but It‘s not like sitting<br />
here in Germany and drinking beer. I think<br />
it‘s good Beer, but I also think it‘s where<br />
you drink it. You get to drink it here in<br />
a beautiful area in Ravensburg. You get<br />
to look at the mountains, you get to look<br />
at all the greenery. And you always enjoy<br />
a beer with a good person. The german<br />
beers, augmented by the fact that you<br />
have great country, and you have great<br />
people. *We toasted with beer* - “Cheers”.<br />
Gaby: And second question from a Fan: Is<br />
it possible to be at a practice, even for your<br />
developed team?<br />
John: Yeah. We have tryouts, usually at<br />
the end of the season, so anybody who‘s<br />
interested in playing football can come to<br />
those tryouts. But even during the season<br />
if somebody was interested in playing football.<br />
They can come to our football office<br />
and introduce themselves, tell us who they<br />
are, and we can get them into practice, and<br />
they can sort of try it out. Kick the tires,<br />
as we say, to find out if it‘s something.<br />
That they want to do and find out whether<br />
they‘re good enough to be. On a GFL<br />
team. Or maybe they just want to play on<br />
the Devo team or maybe they want to play<br />
on flag team or U 19 team. A lot of different<br />
opportunities. But, yeah, we welcome<br />
all people. I think that‘s a big part of what<br />
I‘m here to do is to make sure that football<br />
continues to grow, and not only the Flaggies.<br />
And the younger players, but also the<br />
Devo and the GFLT team. We have a lot of<br />
opportunity for growth.<br />

Gaby: Summer oder Winter?<br />
John: Winter, I love skiing.<br />
Gaby: Germany oder Amerika?<br />
John: Both! America is where I grow up<br />
and my family and grandchildren lives there.<br />
Both countries have their good and bad<br />
sites. In Germany I love to go for a walk, its<br />
so pretty here, but I don’t have enough time<br />
at the moment.<br />
Gaby: Offence der Defence?<br />

both of them and the specials team.<br />

unbeatable.<br />
