⚽🔥 It’s now official! Team Germany is ready for kick-off. We can already picture it: in a few weeks’ time, Manuel Neuer will keep a clean sheet, Joshua Kimmich will put up a rock-solid defence, Florian Wirtz will deliver crosses from midfield, and Deniz Undav will conjure the ball into the net.

📣 Coach .nagelsmann: “We have a strong squad, and I’m absolutely convinced of that. With the support of our fans, we want to play a very good World Cup.”

👊 Very good? More like “definitely win”. Are you already looking forward to the World Cup?

About the movie:
Oliver is a hard-working Portfolio Manager, living life in the fast lane. But after a devastating car crash he ends up in hospital. Diagnosis: paraplegia. Two months of rehab should prepare him for a life in a wheelchair, but Oliver is just not up for it. In rehab he stumbles into the “Goldfish Group”, a band of disabled roommates in a board and care home. When Oliver learns that his illegal financial transactions in Zurich are about to blow, he gets an idea: “Wouldn’t a bus with a bunch of handicapped people make the perfect disguise to smuggle 1.2 million Euros across the German-Swiss border?” As he is able to fulfill his plan, things are about to go south when the members of the “Goldfish Group” act differently than they were supposed to…It all ends up in a rousing road trip – beyond the boundaries of greed, glamour, luck and legality.

Today is the 4th National 🇩🇪 (Jersey Day)!

The goal is to place German club sports center stage and — by making jerseys and sports shirts visible in everyday life — to promote the more than 86,000 sports clubs across Germany!

👕 That is why all of our colleagues at the German Consulate General are wearing the jerseys of their favorite clubs while serving our customers!

⚽️🏀🏐 Sports clubs not only form the foundation for athletic success and contribute to public health, but they also serve as spaces for fostering democratic values ​​and promoting social cohesion by exemplifying rules and values ​​such as diversity, respect, and teamwork.
