lol
Mainz is just half an hour away from where i live.
I hope someone will cap it, cause i´m on holidays.
Anyway, be careful Liverpool, Mainz is a real powerhouse at home.
They drawed with Bayern, defeated Schalke and
ended the season on 11th place.
you won´t end your pre season with a defeat at a mid-class german club :p .
best thing about Mainz are the fans, they like to sing stuff like:
"we are just a carnival association"
especially when they beat one of the big clubs :D
(Mainz celebrates carnival like the whole town went nuts)

i would, but i´m not in germany at this weekend
(going to austria)
an other point that shows that the fans really appreciate the visit
of on of the greatest football clubs is:
the tickets are already sold out

well macro i say good luck to your team. i know a little about them since i follow hamburg but i think that liverpool will be able to win the match. nice to hear that all the tickets are sold out. bundesliga is one of the best attended leagues so it should be a good atmosphere for the match.

What is the capacity of the stadia? Win, lose or draw I think its more about getting the players fit and for the new players to blend in.
