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!

  1. I have been browsing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found
    any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me.

    In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did,
    the web will be a lot more useful than ever before.

  2. Durch die Reibung zwischen Ihrem Finger und der Papieroberfläche entsteht Wärme, wodurch sich das Papier an den beschriebenen Stellen schwarz färbt.
    Weshalb verblasst der Druck auf Thermopapier? Das ist nur bei Thermopapier möglich.
    Thermopapier als solche/r/s ist temperatur- und lichtempfindlich.
    Sollte es zum Äußersten kommen ist nichts mehr zu erkennen. Daher verlangen die Finanzbehörden oftmals das Anfertigen von langlebigen Kopien der Kassenbons auf Thermopapier.
    Darum sind einige Kassenbons, Tankbelege und Parkscheine schon nach wenigen Monaten schlechter
    zu lesen. Bei Verwendung hochwertiger Thermopapiere sind bei licht- und wärmegeschützter Lagerung
    die Druckbilder der Belege auch noch nach vielen Jahren sehr gut lesbar.
    Der Thermodruck auf den Belegen aller unserer
    Thermorollen ist bei sachgemäßer Lagerung über 10
    Jahre hinaus lesbar. Thermopapier sollte grundsätzlich nicht dem direkten Sonnenlicht,
    sowie keiner großen Hitze ausgesetzt werden. Die Thermorollen bei bonstore weisen aber eine verbesserte Beschichtung auf, die gegenüber Umwelteinflüssen resistenter ist.
    Aus Thermopapier bestehende Kassenbelege, sollten ebenfalls dunkel
    und kühl lagern. Die Licht geschützte Lagerung in kühlen Räumen, ermöglicht
    eine lange Haltbarkeit neuer verpackter Thermorollen langjährig.
    So sollten die Belege nicht in Taschen, Klarsichtfolien, oder Geldbörsen in Verwahrung
    sein.

  18. Offenbar machten sich viele Verbraucher die letzte zeit Monaten zuhause die
    Haare schön. Dennoch sich viele Männer im Home Office einen Drei-Tage-Bart
    wachsen ließen, griffen sie verstärkt zu Schere und
    Rasierer. Nach Angaben einer Sprecherin von Procter & Gamble stieg
    2020 der Absatz für Haartrimmer- und Bart-Styling-Produkte.
    Während des ersten Lockdowns im Frühjahr 2020, als die Friseure sechs Wochen waren, nahmen viele Deutsche ihr Styling selbst in Angriff.
    Laut Umfragen schnitten sich 14 Prozent der Bundesbürger selbst die Haare, elf Prozent nahmen Hilfe von welcher Familie und Freunden in Anspruch.
    In mehreren Medien par exemple der “Frankfurter Rundschau”
    gaben Friseurmeister zu, in ihrer Wohnung Haare von Stammkunden zu schneiden. Die Angst, wirtschaftlich nicht den Lockdown zu überleben, sei größer als die Angst, erwischt zu werden. Mehrere Friseure berichteten von vermehrten Bitten der Kunden, kurz mal die Haare
    geschnitten zu bekommen. Dass einige Friseure auch während
    des Lockdowns Kunden und Kundinnen heimlich – wahrscheinlich a fortiori zuhause – frisiert haben, gilt als Flurfunk.
    Auch an TV-Moderatoren ist Kritik geäußert worden. Auch diese sollten sich
    überlegen, ob sie sich die Haare nimmer vorbeiziehen, meint Verbandspräsident Esser.
    TV-Studios sind nicht vom Lockdown betroffen. Manche
    Kunden böten sogar den doppelten Preis, weiß Thomas Trapp, Vorstand des Landesinnungsverbands Friseurhandwerk Hessen,
    von Kollegen. Es müssen dort lediglich die Hygieneregeln eingehalten werden. Über dieses Thema berichtete Deutschlandfunk am 13.
    Januar 2021 um 18:35 Uhr.
