America's soccer fans have put togather a Travel Guide for US soccer. It's goal was to be a soccer related travel guide to the states and, well far from being finished, is a great start. Check it out. http://www.dansoccerzone.com/SoccerGuide/
I don't have time to check it out right now but it's a fantastic idea. It'd be even better if it could be expanded to CONCACAF come WC qualifying!
Fan's Guide to Germany 06 Not so much for qualifying games, but the Fan's Guide to Germany 06 is underway and looking for volunteers to help put it togather. This is much larger project than the previous one and we need your help! If interested go to the link above and send an e-mail with "German Guide" in the heading. Thanks!
Minnesota's info needs to be updated. The Thunder offices are not in Blaine nor is the site for home games. Both are now in St. Paul.
Re: Travel Guide-Germany 06' Just a friendly reminder we will be doing a special Guide to Germany 06' and if anyone interested in contributing please email/PM me to be put on the support list. We hope to really start to organize this after the June qualifier in C-bus. Best, Bd
I've been putting together a US Supporters (Fans) Guide to Germany for a while now. I've recently started to thinking about WCQ's in the states and abroad as well. The link is here... US Supporters Travel Site I'm definitely open for suggestions and will be working on it daily in my spare time.

Re: Travel Guide-Germany 06' Hallo BIGDOG!!!. As I promissed you I´m working on special information about Cologne. I want definitely to contribute to your special GUIDE to GERMANY 06. I´m sure we will make the best GUIDE for americans. I only need to know wht kind of information are mostly requested by Americans? I need some time to collect good information and make good guide for Americans. I want to do it just for American fans, special american-oriented guide, soccer-related. bltleo GERMANY
Re: Travel Guide-Germany 06' I'd recommend that you start with the basics: - Transportation: getting there and back, getting around town. - Lodging: different lodging possibilities, costs, links to agencies that rent fully furnished (meaning can just bring baggage and live there) apartments available for short term rental (1 week to 1 month) - Food: Places to eat, particularly focus on stuff that is unique to the area if possible. - Watching the games: places to catch games in other towns; also good places to have a beer. Kolsch is from Köln, nicht war? - Any other things that should be seen, z.b., the Dom, in town or nearby. If you can do all of that, and want to go further, then maybe places where people can find computer/internet access, where to get help if one loses his passport, etc. Much of this will be covered in a good guidebook, but maybe without so much detail or the local perspective, so that's what you can add. The lodging bit will be particularly important if you can check around on that. Thanks!
Re: Travel Guide-Germany 06' Hello from Germany and thanks for your good tips. I will help BigDog and Mike Cotas with their information for US Supporters. I will concentrate on the area of Cologne. But of course I can give you some general information for travelling in Germany or how to "deal" with arrogant German as well. I will write specials here at bigsoccer and then at USsupporters web-site. I will inform everyone here as soon I have written my frist information. I will try to inform regularly everyone about Cologne and answer your questions. I ´m going to do special research for everyone here. I can teach you few german words as well. Bis nächstes Mal dann - means someting like see you later. Tschüss - Bye bltleo GERMANY leverkusen
