You folks at EA should consider hiring me on this side of the pond. I do a damn great job of running online leagues. I could do some sort of work with that to create a better online experience. Let me know if u m8's want me to work for you somehow, partime i am thinking.

It doesn't say that German language is needed

Really can't be bothered to move to Cologne though - can I telecommute?

[MorinKAshi 80]

Damn it! I would love to work, but I'm studying here!
I've been to Cologne and I know some German.
Maybe next time

You'd have a hard time translating German articles into English as required if you didn't know German. Not to mention it does say German language skills are required.

I could start lots of interesting conversations, but I don't speak that much german.

I'm not sure about the deep familiarity with UK players, don't want to get too close to them you know!
