I have been staying in Düsseldorf for the past few weeks, but I am told that my next opportunity is in the Hamburg area. However, I have to wait until the snow lightens up a bit before I head north. It has been the worst winter in 50 years and most games in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th divisions have been canceled for the past 3 weeks (the 1st and 2nd league teams usually have the money for a covered stadium or heated pitch). In the meantime, I have been training with the second team of Fortuna Düsseldorf. The relationship between a testspieler, or test player, and the team he is trialing with is a funny one. The better he plays, the friendly the guys on the team are. I always know I have had a good day when my teammates attempt to speak English with me.

Keep up the hard work mate! You'll get it. Contact my team, Tranmere Rovers - we could use your help right now!
Matt,
Thanks for the message. I am proud of where my game is at, and I feel a break through is coming. I'm told March and April are good months for trials because the weather is improving, the season is coming to an end, and teams are looking forward to next year. Anyhow, once I am settled bring a crew and come out to visit.
As for the Rovers, I will hit up Les Parry on facebook. But I must admit, football working permits are a bit difficult for Americans in UK.
