Soccer (football) in Vatican City

Hey fellow adventurers! This is a fun post that I was not expecting to write when I chose to write about Vatican City this month, but I’m glad that I can. Vatican City, like many European countries, loves soccer! Vatican City even has its own (horrible) national soccer team! The only ones that are allowed to join though, are members of the Swiss guard and museum guards. That makes it very hard to meet up and practice, none-the-less compete. They are one of the only national teams in the world that are not a member of FIFA (The Fédération Internationale de Football Association). They’ve only competed in a few official games, and have never won. They’ve also competed a few times non-officially, and only won once I believe. If you want to learn more about them, I highly encourage it! I hope you get a kick out of reading about this team, like I did. It’s a short article:

However, that’s not even the biggest soccer news that comes from Vatican City. The Centro Sportivo Italiono (CSI) hosts the Clericus Cup, an annual soccer tournament in which teams from Roman Collages compete against each other. Players are generally studying to become priests, but a handful of players are ordained priests. Officially, the goal of the league is to “reinvigorate the tradition of sport in the Christian community” and has been called the “clerical equivalent of soccer’s World Cup.” Below I’ll post a short video of them playing in the Clericus Cup, and some players being interviewed.

That’s all for this post! Hopefully you enjoyed this even if you’re not a huge soccer fan. I prefer baseball or muggle quiditch personally. Thank you so much for reading! And as always, until our next adventure!

  5. Soweit ich erkennen kann kauft man bei SEO Agenturen zunächst Zeit, Identifikation und Leidenschaft.

    Know-How vorausgesetzt. Kein aas wird leidenschaftlich und mit Identifikation an einem Projekt arbeiten, das
    er nur an 5 Stunden im Monat betreut. Aus meiner Erfahrung gibt
    es eine Basis-Identifikation ab ca. Währenddessen wird die Arbeit an einem Projekt, dass an 5
    Tagen oder mehr in der Woche Agentur- und Schreibtisch-Thema ist sicherlich mit mehr Identifikation laufen. Bei durchschnittlich 100
    € Stundensatz ergibt sich ein monatliches Basis-Volumen von 2.000 €.
    2 Arbeitstagen. Wir selber arbeiten weitgehend ab 20 Stunden Monats-Budget.

    Zahlenmäßig überlegen Agenturen arbeiten mit mindestens 3 Monaten Laufzeit, sodass ein Mindestbudget von 6.000 € für mich die Basis einer Zusammenarbeit darstellt.

    Das ist schwer pauschal zu beantworten, da das natürlich sehr von welcher Komplexität
    der Website und des Themas abhängt. Darunter macht
    es höchst gelegentlich einen Sinn, weil man nichts richtig beenden kann.
    Den Einstieg in die Agentur-Zusammenarbeit sollte eine kurze, kostenlose Ersteinschätzung zum tatsächlichen Bedarf bei der Angebotserstellung sein. Ein SEO-Experte kann nach wenigen Minuten schon ganz gut einschätzen, wie sehr z.B.
    Thema Onpage Optimierung brennt und wie groß der Handlungsbedarf ist.

  15. Für Türen hat sich der Panzerriegel als gut funktionierendes Hilfsmittel herausgestellt.
    Ansonsten schreiben Sie uns im Weiteren doch einen Kommentar.
    Falls noch Fragen oben in unserer Bewegungsmelder-Kaufberatung offen geblieben sind, werden Sie eventuell hier fündig.
    6.1. Worin liegt der Unterschied zwischen dem Bewegungsmelder für außen und innen? Bewegungsmelder helfen dabei, nicht im
    Dunkeln laufen zu müssen. Sowohl der Bewegungsmelder (außen) als auch der Bewegungsmelder
    (innen) sind gleich aufgebaut. Theoretisch gibt es
    zwischen diesen beiden Varianten keinen Unterschied in ihrer Funktion. Während der Bewegungsmelder für innen bei Regen die Nässe durchlässt, bleibt der Bewegungsmelder für außen stabil.
    Die Schutzstufe IP44 ist Minimum und schützt das Gerät vor
    Regen. Wenn Sie den Bewegungsmelder richtig anschließen, darf dieser draußen nicht durch normale Regennässe kaputt gehen. Allerdings haben sie ein anderes
    Gehäuse. 6.2. Lohnt sich ein Bewegungsmelder (außen) solar-betrieben? Wenn Sie einen Solar-Bewegungsmelder bevorzugen, dann werden Sie überwiegend eine Kombination aus Bewegungsmelder und Solarleuchte finden.

  16. Hello! Quick question that’s completely off topic.
    Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly?
    My website looks weird when browsing from my iphone.
    I’m trying to find a template or plugin that might be able
    to fix this issue. If you have any recommendations, please share.
    With thanks!

  17. I think that everything said made a great deal of sense.
    But, what about this? what if you were to write a killer post title?
    I mean, I don’t want to tell you how to run your website,
    however suppose you added a post title that makes people desire
    more? I mean Soccer (football) in Vatican City – Bryanna
    Vs The World is a little boring. You might glance at Yahoo’s home page and watch
    how they create post titles to grab viewers interested.

    You might add a video or a picture or two to grab readers
    interested about everything’ve got to say. In my opinion, it might
    bring your blog a little bit more interesting.

  18. I have been browsing online more than 2 hours today, yet I never found any interesting
    article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me.
    In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the
    net will be much more useful than ever before.
