Guaranteeing security\n \nSecurity issues always play an important role at major events. 32 teams and their managers, thousands of accredited journalists, and millions of spectators all want security before, during and after the World Cup. This is why all those responsible - the Federal Government and federal states (Länder), the venues, stadiums, national and federal state police forces - must work smoothly together. All national and federal state security authorities through to the organisers are preparing a "Nationales Sicherheitskonzept WM 2006" (national security strategy for the World Cup 2006) on the instructions of the Conference of Ministers for the Interior.\n \nAmong other things, the strategy sets out measures for defence against threats of international terrorism and extremism as well as violence by hooligans. It guarantees security of public passenger transport as well as protection against crime and contains plans for dealing with emergencies and disasters and to safeguard the communications technology used.\n \nA wealth of security-related information will accumulate before and during the World Cup. A National Information and Co-operation Centre (NICC) is being set up in the Federal Ministry of the Interior to ensure that this information does not go missing and that it reaches the Federal Government quickly and in a targeted manner. During the World Cup, the NICC will work round the clock to put all security-related information together to form an overall picture of the World Cup 2006.\n \nThe security precautions are however not limited to Germany alone. At the invitation of the Federal Ministry of the Interior, four international conferences with experts from more than 40 countries have already been held. The subjects discussed range from an exchange of experiences with organisers of comparable sporting events through to preparations for international contracts on co-operation between security authorities at the World Cup 2006.\n\n\n----------\n\nIn the following interview, Horst R. Schmidt, General Secretary of the DFB and senior vice-president of the 2006 FIFA World Cup Organising Committee Germany, speaks about the rioting surrounding the match against Slovenia and the consequences for the FIFA World CupTM preparations. \nHerr Schmidt, the riots involving German hooligans surrounding the international in Slovenia thrust this problem back into the spotlight as we look ahead to the 2006 FIFA World Cup. What precautions have you taken to prevent such events from marring the tournament? \n\nSince the DFB prepared its bid to stage the 2006 FIFA World Cup – and the process actually began back in 1993 – we have been working intensively in the area of security at a World Cup. We are doing everything to ensure the highest standards in security. And by “we”, I mean not only FIFA, the OC and DFB, but also the national and state authorities and institutions responsible for security, who have the necessary expertise and decision-making ability. By collaborating closely at all levels, we have devised a security concept for the 2006 World Cup which we develop on an almost daily basis. This living and operational concept is tested on a weekly basis via seamless procedures in Bundesliga stadia and at our home internationals. And now we have problems with German hooligans at away games. As paradoxical as it may sound, these incidents involving German hooligans actually help us to assess the international situation. \n\nWhat concrete measures are being introduced in Germany? \n\nFirstly on the German hooligans. In terms of practical collaboration, our exchanges with the Zentralen Informationsstelle Sporteinsätze (ZIS) are crucial. This organisation manages data on known hooligan football fans, although I would prefer not to refer to these criminals as “fans”. We can take effective action against these individuals in German stadiums in the form of a banning order from all venues. Obviously we are also

as munich is by far my favourite town in germany, i would recommend you to go to munich. \nhere is a website, where you can book private rooms during the world cup period, kind like B&B's in usa. also they offer furnished small apartments, if you intend to stay longer.\n\nhttp://www.checkin-muenchen.de/?mms=2\n\njust i want to tell you, that you won't get ANY ticket for any game at all anymore. if you go to germany you will end up watching the games in a pub or on giant screens on big places. the tickets are sold and they are bound to the name, therefore there isn't even a blackmarket in front of the stadiums to by a ticket.\nhave fun in germany and enjoy your stay!

1.A lot of time is needed for the host country to prepare for the world cup\n2.It takes about a year for qualification procedures (to decide who will be in the world cup)\n3.F.I.F.A. does not want the world cup to clash with continental championschips (European championship,Copa Aemrica etc.)\n4.F.I.F.A. does not want the world cup to clash with the olympics\n5.If the world cup was played too often the excitement and novelty would be taken out of the tournament\n6.There many more reasons but I could be typing all night!!!

Usual rumours: \nOnce Germany equalized, he discreetly hid himself away from the cameras & escaped from the stadium when Argentina lost!\n\nTruth:\nMaradona and his friend came to watch the game, but his friend did not have a valid ticket & was refused entry - so Maradona also left the stadium

Yes of course! It'd look silly if the host nation wasn't playing at home in the biggest football tournament ever!

yes. this is true.\nthere is a stadium in germany that does the exact same thing and is  going to be used for the World Cup games.\nrena AufSchalke is the name, and is the new home of the bundesliga team Fc Schalke.\n\nThis is one of the most innovative stadiums built in recent years. It has a retractable roof, and features a grass pitch that slides in and out of the stadium as needed. The sliding pitch keeps grass alive within a domed stadium, and also allows the stadium to be used for non-sporting events such as concerts without damaging the pitch. It also well known for its 5 km long beer pipeline!

You answered your own question, dude. Germany would be the place to be. You get to go sightseeing...in Europe...and you get to enjoy the fever pitch of some of the most adoring fans in any sport. I love baseball too. But the WBC isn't exactly the insanity that is the World Cup.

most football hooligans are identified by their respective countries...as such, it's important that the germany's police liaise with the other countries police to get their database on the hooligans...those hooligans are prevented from entering germany at all exit/entrance points.... for british hooligans, their passports will be seized by their government until after the world cup season.

I grew up in France, but this is the year of the Germans. The cup is in Germany and the crowd is going to really boost their play.

There's a big chance.\nGermany being the host, always an advantage in terms of getting the support of the home crowds.\nI imagine the stadion will be 90% filled with German supporters when Germany is playing. No place for supporters of the opposite team, eh? haha ... \n\nThe members of the squad are young and talented, I don't see why not. Brazil is overrated.

The world cup happens every four years for various reasons.\n\nThe most important reason is that the cup is played in a different country all the time and the designated country has to prepare it self to accommodate for the influx of tourists and fans. This involves building and improving the infrastructure such as hotels, roads, public toilets, restaurants etc. Basically the country must be prepared to accommodate, feed, provide security and everything else to allow everyone to participate in this world event. Many things have to be anticipated and organised. FIFA, the group responsible for football regulations must approve the overall plan and stipulates whether a country is fit to host the event. The country must then comply to the FIFA pre-requisites. Visit the FIFA website and contact for additional information.

All eyes wil be watching you as a player of the World Cup, anywhere anytime, even all ears will be listening to you wether in or out the field. Any unexpected action to the committees or players or anything that may produce bad attitude will be penalized.\nEven you try to bet with your friends(if you are a player) about scoring a goal in a match .

I think Germany will be between the  four best teams of the cup , the team is good, they only have to readjust the defense, it better loose the goals now and not in the other instances
