I really can't wait. Hopefully loads of old friends and new friends. It's looking more and more like a lovely occasion 😍

I'm not really active on here but a lot of my Berlin contacts are, so... here goes! I published a book in Italian on Berlin football and I will be presenting it in Berlin at Birra on 28.6. at 18h. It would be really cool to see some familiar faces, and maybe some new ones!

It's been a very sad week. On Monday we lost our aunt, 88 years old. A local institution and an added grandmother to all of our family. A strong woman who gave everything for her family and community. I'm just glad we got to spend some time together with her on Sunday.

The other night I rehearsed with my old band after 5 years of barely picking up my guitar. Went better than expected. Which is good, as we have a gig lined up and no other rehearsals before that 😅

I really love this pic from my wedding.

Gravity is just a habit.

Wheelchair basketball was such fun. And also quite challenging to shoot.

Wheelchair basketball is very hard to shoot. But it was a great night at Briantea 84. Will get back.

Disappointment.

Best pic from yesterday. Tense match between Cantù and Forlì.

💔 I will miss you so much

I'm heartbroken. Just left Caracalla at the vet's and I don't know if I'll get to see him again. He hasn't been a member of our family for so much time, but he became part of us. I pray that he is safe and can come back home soon, but the vet didn't give us much hope.

Let there be mud

Wee lad's got conjunctivitis. Have to put drops in his eye 3x day, but they sting and he's scared as hell and shaking as a leaf. It's emotionally draining 😢

Same stare.

Yesterday we sent the online form to enrol our wee lad in the primary school. We did so while crying our eyes out. We recalled everything that went down in the last 1.5 years, the enrolment process in Germany, the fear of a special school, the feeling of exclusion. 👇

This made me chuckle. Como Cats Supporters Club.

Make Elon Go Away.

Yesterday was a good game. A 4-1 win against Udinese, a steep climb up the ladder, the power of Assane Diao and the class of Nico Paz and the 150th game of my hometown lad Alessio Iovine for Como. And my 150th game according to Futbology.

My friends at FC Dal Pozzo, an eighth division fan managed football club of my area, were the best thing to kick the year off. 5-1 win, penalty saved, shot saved on the line, pyros and chants and tifos and fun.

"We are not a team with supporters, we're supporters with a team". Couple weeks ago I had the chance to visit Frazione Calcistica Dal Pozzo, a project of fan ownership in Italy's 8th division. Passion still burning after more than 10 years.

New: Words and images: @dinamobabel.bsky.social The real world, the adult world can be cold & barren, like concrete terrace steps. The kids at FC Mendrisio in Switzerland though, haven’t been disillusioned yet. They chant about Mendrisio being their town. www.terraceedition.com/home-haute/m...

Happy leg, sad leg

The pull

Zero fax given.

@royackermann.fussballgott.eu hey, congrats on the Union ad! :D

Well, Swiss football looks good.

Best seat in the house. Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf II - SpVgg Tiergarten 1-0 Stadion Wilmersdorf Kreisliga A Last game of the year.

@royackermann.fussballgott.eu I saw your profile image here and realised: is this you? :D

"careful review"

Elon locked my account. Apparently one of my tweets violated the guidelines regarding violent speech. The message simply read "HERE" and had A GIF FROM COMMUNITY (Abed going crazy and impersonating Nicholas Cage). I cannot tweet or like anymore. Reviewing the decision apparently might take one week.

Today I spent the morning in Milan, after so much time. I had a coffee with a friend under the San Siro spiralling stairs. And took this pic of it. Not a Milan or Inter fan, but always in awe with this stadium.

Living divided in different languages (ITA-ENG-GER) and sometimes having difficulty understanding German language tweets, I badly need an efficient translate button on this social. It's driving me crazy.

Saturday I ticked off 2. Bundesliga from my list. Bundesliga ✅ 2. Bundesliga ✅ 3. Liga 🚫 Regionalliga ✅ Oberliga ✅ Landesliga ✅ Bezirksliga ✅ Kreisliga A ❌ Kreisliga B ✅ Kreisliga C ✅ Freizeit ✅ DFB Pokal ❌ Landespokal Berlin ✅ Hopefully will end all what is available in Berlin by the end of 2023

Last Friday I was at the Hans Zoschke Stadion to see Lichtenberg 47 take on Tennis Borussia. Great game, great atmosphere, and a lovely stadium that happened to be an uncomfortable neighbour for the Stasi.

I wrote for Terrace Edition about the strange night Union Berlin lived at the Olympiastadion on Tuesday against Napoli. www.terraceedition.com/home-haute/r...

Only realised now hashtags ain't a thing here. Fuuudge.

I just love when one side of the perspective has fans looking the other way. #groundhopping #berlin #photography

While Elon keeps ruining my favourite place on the Internet, you'll always find me here or on some football pitch in Berlin. #berlin #groundhopping
