WINK turns WISE
Our commitment to bringing you the most engaging and up-to-date soccer content is embodied in our innovative approach: WINK (Westcoast International Networking Klub) will be WISE (Westcoast International Soccer Enthusiasts) throughout the coming year.

German Soccer Trivia
Our coverage will focus primarily on “Die Mannschaft” – the German national team – while sprinkling in fascinating trivia and news tidbits about Austria, Switzerland, and Luxembourg as we discover them. Rather than comprehensive match coverage, we’ll share the interesting soccer curiosities and questions that capture our attention: Will Germany’s qualification path lead them to play at Vancouver’s BC Place Stadium? Can Manuel Neuer make one more World Cup appearance? Who’s wearing the captain’s armband now? Which goalkeepers are defending the nets for Austria and Switzerland?
Rumours, Tidbits or Debates
What can you expect from our International Soccer Page? Not comprehensive coverage, but rather the interesting bits and pieces we pick up along the way. Our content will include photographs we capture, trivia we uncover, news fragments we find intriguing, and the kind of soccer curiosities that make following “Die Mannschaft” and German soccer news so engaging. We’ll share what catches our eye as we dribble out information – sometimes it might be transfer rumors, other times historical tidbits, or simply wondering aloud about the questions that soccer fans love to debate.
This comprehensive soccer coverage extends beyond just our dedicated page. You’ll find additional content flowing through our blog and the World Business Network News for entrepreneurs, creating a multi-platform experience that ensures you never miss a moment of the action.
